Well, as I mentioned the shipyard has been reopened, however, with my other obligations it took a little longer to just get started. Drives me nuts. I can get all the components out and try to start, and something comes up that needs my attention...like now!, so I did get the anchors re-made. This was where I needed to start. I made the stocks by turning them on my trusty Proxxon DB-250 Wood Lathe. That is probably my favorite tool in the line. Then blackened the anchors, stained to wood and added the blackened brass rings on the stocks. They are now ready to hung on the ship and properly secured. First, of I hope many new updates.

Hey Augie, Gonna be 82 here today, but that might not last long. Funny, I never paid much attention to the anchors, however, it seems most larger ships used square stocks. Glad you like the tools. Since I'm now a dealer I've really had a good opportunity to appreciate what Proxxon has to offer, and in my opinion they are superior to available lines with the exception of Sherline which I'm offering also.

off to a good start Len. You'll be fairing the bulkheads and filler blocks, just be careful of their placement so you don't have to add to, or take too much off. It just makes it easier to trim and fair.
