    For Beginners -- A Cautionary Tale

    in New member Introductions

    Posted

    I have read most of the comments on this topic.  I, also had to stop my build to deal with life's endless dilemmas.  However, after a two year hiatus, I'm back in the helm (per se).  I agree with those that think posting pics which do not raise of the level of the skillset could be a deterrent.  As it is, in the last two weeks I have made many mistakes in my build, so many, I am too embarrassed to share (yet).  Once the corrections are made I'll post them here.

    In the meantime, it is nice to go back to cutting, gluing and sanding!

    BTW, I am taking pics...😀😁

    Bill,

    Thank you for all your photos.  About three weeks ago I began working on the same model.  As a novice, I found the instruction booklet lacking, so I started to use the plans as my main source of information

    I decided to deviate a little from the building sequence and after curving the stern and bow filler blocks I started working on the deck planking.  Since this model doesn't come with a false deck, I installed one using 1/16" basswood.

    Once the deck planking is done I'll post some photos.

    Regards,

    Luis
