Fantastic is all I can say after spending the last two evenings reading you log. I wish I could pick on thing to say is the best part, but there are no best parts of the ship. Simply fantastic!!!! Will -
There’s a ray of hope for us as all my friends struggle as well. HA HA HA Will

Chuck are the scrolls going to individually purchased or part of a kit. Such as a ornamentation kit. The laser ones look fantastic. Will

They look really fantastic and I can't imagine what 3% will do. Expanding the photo the boxwood holds the cut better than the cedar, but the cedar is very nice.( I really had to blow up the photo to see the difference) Great job. You've become a laser magician. We'll have to get you a merlin pointed hat. Will

Great tutorial on a very complex process of rigging shrouds. The photos are a great help. Thanks and the ship is looking really good. Will

Thanks Edward and we'll start the journey together. Thanks Frank see you tuesday I've got to say that I'm building this kit while finishing the rigging of my first kit the Charles W. Morgan and this will give me a nice break from the tedious and eye testing rigging so you'll see lapses in time when I'm back on the Morgan. Well I've opened the box and checked all the parts and everything appears to be here. I looked at the metal work and think it leaves me to believe that i'll be doing a lot of dressing/cleaning/making my own. I dry fit the frames to bulkhead former (BF) the frames are very tight and slip on with little of any play. Using some spares the the frames are nicely square to the BF. Also any and all comments, suggestions or advice requested and appreciated.

I decide to build the Syren after reading Chuck Passaro's instructions and Gahm, dubz and augie's build logs. The work done on these build is truly amazing and I'll be using them to guide me with my build. It has taken me a year to get up the nerve to enter a build log, so here goes please bear with me. 😁 on June 28th I received the kit so as seems to be a convention here's a photo of the box.

Hello Rich I'm just starting my Syren while I finish rigging my Charles W Morgan and looking for a log to follow where the build is in progress I found yours and will follow. I'll read your entire log to catch up, but it looks great with the woods you've selected. I'm starting from the beginning tonight. I'll start my first log tomorrow with the Syren. Will

I’m in the process of making rope for my currant Morgan build so now might be a great time to stop and make a change in thread type. The size chart would make the testing easier, please put me on the list. Will

Sorry to hear about not using lights. I'm getting ready to build the Bounty with the kit and bashing it using Harold Hahns plans for full framed and the Anatomy of Ships book to build everything from the top deck down and the kit for everything else. (maybe) I plan to light my interior with pico leds. I found that using other hobbies, such as model railroaders, have things that we can use, such as pico leds from evan designs on modeltrainsoftware.com. I hope this helps. Love your work Will

I've had my byrnes 4" table saw for a while now and now I'm needing to start ripping wood for making frames and planking. First I need to make 1" wide strips out of 1/8" swiss pear and having never ripped anything I don"t what blade to use so any help will be great. Second I'll be ripping 1mm x 5mm strips from walnut, cherry and pear so again what blade to use. Help with kerf, teeth, and brands as I've only used the blades that came with the saw. Thanks guys Will Pearson

Cole, I once read where adhesive tape (medical) was used to simulate canvas. I experimented with the adhesive tape idea on the flat hurricane house roof of the Charles W Morgan and had excellent results. I had used it to look like a tarred surface but prior to painting it looked like white canvas. Will Current builds Charles W Morgan and HMS Pegasus
