Off and running Patrick....have fun as she shapes up...

I'm a big fan of pushsticks and feather boards, even though I don't currently have the featherboards. I'm debating whether to make them or buy from MicroMark.

The open door idea is great. Your attention to detail is wild....looks like you could just walk on in. Thanks for the pictures.
-
Looks good Jim. Gives me some ideas. Good to see you back.
-
Looks good Patrick, I should have known you have a separate disk sander....duh..
-
Welcome back, good to see your progress soon.

Hey Lester, good tohear from you. I've been going to get in touch but been distracted lately. I will PM you about the drive. How's your build coming? Lot's of work left yet to finish up the restoration, hope ya'll make it in time.

Hi Scott, welcome back. I've been waiting for a couple of new toys and then it's back to work. We'll probably leave for the west coast by the end of May. Might do a trip to Austin and San Antonio in between. You need to go to Mystic again. The ship sails on May 17 I think then it goes up the coast and winds up in Boston in July. It'll be tied up next to Old Ironsides when it docks there after the restoration and it's 38th cruise....first since 1941.

I like the concept of asking for forgivness rather than permission, you obtain the toys that way..lol. My only comment would be that the addition of the disk sander with the belt really gives you a good tool. I have found some on ebay for around $70, but haven't bought them yet. Just my 2 cents worth. Either way they are really handy.

Hi Patrick, sounds like a plan. We love Bahama Moma's from Schmidt's, we still have some in the freezer, as well as burgers from Thurman's. She lived in Dublin, and her son and daughter both live there. Have fun with the dual build. Leave it to Popeye to edge it on...lol. Henry, (popeye2sea) is a wealth of information and a great guy to boot. He's a retired Navy Chief Signalman and actually served out the rest of this time on the Conny. He's a member of the 1812 Marines. You're in for a real history lesson building these ships.

Hi Patrick. I just saw where you live as well as the reference to Ohio State. My Admiral is from there and is a grad of Ohio State as is her son who still lives there. We were there during our travels last year. Cool.

Hi Charley, glad things are moving along. Yeah, we'll be heading west soon, but not until the weather breaks, like maybe 6-7 weeks out yet. Sorry about the pictures. That happens sometimes. Are you having fun with the planking? It's actually a lot of fun for me, it kinda starts to look like the hull of a ship the farther along you get. I like that. I'm waiting on a new to toy to arrive, and then I'll be turning out some work in the shipyard again before we take off west. Take care and good to hear from you.

Hi Charley, where did the data loss occur....on the forum? Sorry to hear you've been having problems.
-
Nice photos, thanks for the updates
-
Great idea Patrick, should be able to put that scroll saw to good use now. I think that really should be in the kit instead of in 3 pieces. Much better work platform.

Hello Jay, good to hear from you, glad you enjoyed your break. I love Hawaii, been there 23 times, almost moved to Maui in a past life. Happy Birthday also. Glad your new toy came in. I just finished making myself a poor boy's mill. I found a decent Microlux Drill Press on ebay, and then added a Proxxon Slotted Drill Press base and cross slide to it, along with a Drill Chuck and some mill bits. I should be able to make what I need also. Please keep us updated with pictures and how-to's as you work with your mill. I know it sure helps me see how you make parts and pieces as you continue your build. Thanks again, see you in the shipyard soon. John
