  1. Looking good from where I'm sitting 🙃 nothing at all wrong with slooow planking, I do it all the time😏
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. They do seem to have the upper hand, but when Mr Rickenbacker turns up the tables could turn 😏
  5. and welcome to MSW
  6. 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 😄😉
  7. Doesn't matter how slow you build when you're producing something that nice, Eamonn. She looks beautiful!
  8. As Ken said, family first, and don't worry 'bout us, we will still be here for you👍
  9. 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!
  10. 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
  11. Great photos Jack, you've got some rigging work ahead of you, judging by photo #3
  12. Thanks Phil, and everyone who has looked in. Hopefully with the weather getting dryer and warmer here in the UK I'll be able to get Winnie outside and get stuck in to fairing the inner bulwarks so I can carry on planking! I'm looking forward to getting to work on her again.
  13. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery Chris, the wing looks great btw
  14. Thanks Jack, the only thing is it does not bend all that well 🙁 Thank you Phil, I have to admit your Hannah build is inspiration to me!
  15. This happened to me and @Backergave me the solution, resize your photos and upload again. It worked for me🙃 Winnie looks great though, even capsized🙃
