So regards the starboard side planking, it is done, but it's not the best, in fact if I wasn't going to copper it(I would like to get a bit of practice for when I finally get Chris's Speedy)I would rip it off and start again, all the problems I've had come down to my lack of preparation 😫 I was far to eager to start planking and now it's bit me. LESSON LEARNED The port side as you can see needed a bit of shimming on the forward 3 or 4 bulkheads (poor initial cutting) but after more than a few hours work I think its probably good to go. So I've used thread to line the planking belts and next I will mark planks out and fingers crossed I'll get this alot more accurate and acceptable. I think that starting Winchelsea is still quite a long way off.!! Thanks for looking in.🙂 Cheers 👍

Got to be Heinz though ( other brands are available) as they make tomatoes in other colours!! So when do we go back to discussing square towels???
-
Wonderful work!!, I'm now pulling up a chair to watch, albeit a little late for the start!
-
A square tomato will fit any shape hole if you apply plenty of pushing and it helps if the tomato is very ripe 😆

Wow! Now there's a challenge!! The knees, lodging and hanging variety gave me headaches at 1:60 scale now you're doing more at a much smaller scale and making it look easy👏👏 I take my hat off to you sir!! Looking good!!

Hello, great job with the drawing frame!! A very nice Syren also -
And I'm still no wiser on cast iron cooking pan cleaning, but the steak still tastes good😆😆

Nice start oddball!! I agree with the above advice concerning the keel, stem and sternpost and leaving them off as I fitted mine before any planking and it made 1st planking and sanding a difficult task . But it is good to see another Sherbourne joining the flotilla 👍😉 Have fun and enjoy. Cheers

Hello and welcome to Sherbourne shipyard, it's going to be good to watch another little lady built. Have fun and as Tony says you will have plenty of help and advice if you have a problem or question. Cheers 👍

Really nice work though Vane!! I do think maple looks good as a deck. Just a thought could you use the laser etched deck on Speedy and if not entirely satisfied plank on top with a thinner maple?? As I say just a thought 🤔
-
Just looking at your cast iron skillet Derek, and wondered how do you keep it as clean as that?😁 because no matter what I clean mine with it still looks like I've just took the steak out🤔

Should be second nature to you now Phil 🤪 Victory is looking fantastic

I love these diversions of yours from shipbuilding, great job on the tank Phil 👍🙂

Hello, I've not been able to work on Triton as we've been looking after the grandkids til my daughter gets home, so workroom has been out of bounds, but managed a couple of hours today and removed some planking and replaced said planking with alterations. I have to admit that I have struggled with this planking, I think it is because I didn't spend enough time fairing the bulkheads. I'm thinking I may copper this side of the hull and paint what is not covered and put a bit more effort and preparation into the other side. There are no photos as yet but I will post some next time. I have to get better at planking before I start Winchelsea 🤨 Cheers and thanks for likes, comments and stopping by 👍🙂

Hi Tony, I've watched Chuck's videos on planking using the iron for edge bending, and had a go myself on Triton, I think is possibly the best method of planking round the bow. Thanks for your advice, it is always welcome and helpful 😁 Yes I feel the same, hopefully by the time I start Winchelsea I can attempt a decent job of it. Cheers 👍🙂

Tony it's nice to see you back.🙂. Regards the planking problem it was the bow I had the trouble, I had not noticed the stern, but now you've pointed it out to me I can see that also, thankyou. 👍 I will take some planking off at the stern as well, which will help me out as I was going to alter the way the planks terminate at the stern . I'm glad you saw it and pointed it out as I had no idea and would have carried on regardless, This is why I have not started Winchelsea yet as my planking needs a bit more fine tuning. Hopefully the next session post will show the improved version. Cheers 👍😁
