Your making great progress John, I love the detailing and the chain work on the Bowsprit is very impressive.
I am looking forward to further updates mate.
Be Good

your progress looks really nice........it will get even busier, when you get to the masting and standing rigging very well done!

I was studying the deck on my ship and the copper oil cooling tank didn't look good to me.....kind of stark. So I got to thinking.....dangerous at the least...what would they do in real life.....like what about rain, weather, pitching seas, sloshing, so I decided to build a wooden hatch cover for it, it can be removed or tied down depending on the need......also adds some more clutter to the deck......

Today's progress, again not much, had to go to town this morning. So far today I have finished the chain work on the bowsprit.....total of 4 chains, 2 for the bobstays, and 2 for the bowsprit shrouds.....those are 1/8" deadeyes, and it was tedious to work with them, especially running the 3 loops of the lanyards...more later...

Chains and deadeye lanyards look great, John! Based on that the rest of your rigging should be first rate.

Wow thanks guys! It's really fun to build this little stove, much more than I had imagined. Now I understand why people build small buildings from individual brick, one ought to try once.
Tony, I think a simple stew would be appropriate.
Gee Rusty you're tough to please
So chimney added, time to make some pots and pans....
