    When I see you conquering complex connections like this I’m reminded that your field of endeavour has given you the ability to visualize many dimensions all at once.

    Great elevation.I like this photo with the scale figure. Really helps give one a sense of size . She is shaping up nicely.

    Magnificent. So how do you move her after she's done. Flood the room and sail her outside?

    Working on attaching wale using titebond II. Ive noticed that at the stem / ajoining timber connection the wale pops loose. The remaining wale has stayed in place. The wale is prepared for this attachment by being boiled and shaped on a board with pins to hold it until it dries. The wood for the wale is walnut. I ve used this technique and type of glue for all wood needing to be shaped to follow hull line. Is there another glue suggestion someone could please recommend at this location. Thank you Rick

    Hello I'm going to make a second wood part from extra wood in kit . I have a paper template that I want to attach to wood I'm going to shape. What type of glue do you recommend. Will all purpose white glue be ok with cleanup of wood after or would you recommend another. Thank you

    Hello Ron Thank you for providing the sandpaper grit information. It helped. Regards Rick

    Ron I hope this post finds you well. I'm find some frames a bit fat for keel. Any thoughts to various grit sandpaper to reduce thickness. Thank you Rick

    Though you don't see yourself as a machinist you are a critical thinker who can solve a problem . As you have others you are in awe of , I imagine others in awe of your accomplishment with this model. Your work is amazing. All from the keel up.

    Marslav There are many creative individuals on this forum but among them are those that exist at the highest level of ability and craftsmanship. Amazing.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll research the kit.

    I'm wondering about my next kit after Emma C. Berry. I find the laser cut parts enjoyable to work with . I appreciate especially the frames precut in this way . Im find that the lines of the hull with potential for exposing the frames to be what I see in my next kit . Something at a bit larger scale than the Emma. Something with single deck . Also , the wood provided in Emma ( basswood ) is a bit delicate to work with so would like to work with a harder species of wood. Thank you Rick
