  1. Yes I only have one hand that I can use. yes i only have one had that I can use, and it is my left which was not my primary hand, I had to learn to do everything with my left hand.
  2. I learned more about planking from Der Alte Rentner log on planking than i did any place else.
  3. The cap rails and the bulwarks are installed. Just starting on planking the qdeck.

  9. Thanks, This has been a very rewarding journey. There are some really awesome examples and it is hard not to compare ones work to those, nonethe less completing each task and chapter is so exhilarating that it motivates you to face the next challenge with a smile. Your guidance and others makes it all possible.
  10. It has been 6 months since I last posted but I have been diligently working. However, Chapter three took me a very long time. It is very detailed work and trying to do it with just one hand created a lot of challenges and i ad repeated do overs in the process. The final product is not without flaws but it the best I could muster. I simply do not have the capability to be as precise as the masters that exist on this site. Nonetheless, I really enjoy the challenge.
  11. I absolutely love the precision of all that you do
  12. It looks like you have really put the milling machine to good use. It would be a nice item to have. Probably more useful than a Byrnes table saw, since there are sources for finished wood planks and sheets.
  13. OMG if I was 10 years younger, I may have been interested 😊 , however it is a huge commitment, you better be in love with it!!
  14. There are about a dozen members in your area. I am in Sequim, there are others in Seattle, Port Orchard, Edmonds, & Tacoma
  15. What is best to use on the aluminum sanding discs to remove the sanding sheet and glue on disc?
  16. I really enjoyed looking thru his build log, he was creative and it looks like he never completed the rigging but the ship is really well done.
  17. I totally agree!! Your sharing of your progress and process is invaluable to those of us just learning how to do these models with integrity. Thanks
