  1. Looks like I'm a little late, just settling down in the rafters for this one. Good luck Craig 👍
  2. Beautiful hull Glenn, the cedar is gorgeous! While I agree with Garthog, I'm also itching to watch you rig Cheerful, and once rigged I'm sure she'll still be mire than worthy of a place in a museum or discerning collection 😉
  3. Wow Eric, you've been a busy man since my last visit to your build, the banner looks very nice, and your continued rope making is producing some very nice rope! The planking you've started is also looking good. Congrats on acquiring the Medway Longboat. That particular model is on my wishlist 😉 Keep up the good work🙂
  4. Looking good from where I'm sitting 🙃 nothing at all wrong with slooow planking, I do it all the time😏
  5. Definitely good news your good lady is well and that you still building even if it ain't your USS Gwin. Good luck for your future builds brother!
  6. Castello imo is easier to work than European/English boxwood I'm using both at the moment and the English boxwood pen blanks are noticeably hardstanding the ruler wood, which as druxey stated is very good quality wood, and if you are lucky with the prices, very good value.
  7. They do seem to have the upper hand, but when Mr Rickenbacker turns up the tables could turn 😏
  8. Is the oil stone a mini version of a normal one? It's the perfect size for those tools, by the looks of it! Sounds like a plan for a cottage business 😄😉
  9. As Ken said, family first, and don't worry 'bout us, we will still be here for you👍
  10. I second this, perhaps just short sessions along side an amour build or maybe another piece of towed artillery or support vehicle. You can do it brother!
  11. Well the sun has been out and the weather dry so I've been out on the backyard with Winnie for the last couple of evenings, taking the bulk of the inner bulwarks off, just a bit of fine tuning with the sanding sticks and its back to planking. this is as she is now You may have noticed that the Wales have not been double planked yet, I've done this as I still have some sanding to do and would definitely catch the wales, so once I have it sanded and smooth I will fit the wales and get some paint on them. Thanks for the likes and your patience 🙂 Cheers
