thanks for the nice words Pete I remember someone saying to basically stay ahead of the build, as I was looking at my build last night getting ready to finish fairing the hull kind of getting my plan in place, I noticed a couple of things with the sizes of some of the pieces. Then I remembered one of the Phantom builds the builder made his own gratting (think thats the right word) because the size was off scale can someone point me to a web link, or a link in here so i can review scale. I know its more than just 1:to whatever number i think there is a conversion in there somewhere. I dont want this to just be "My first build" I want to do it right- 85 replies

Guys thanks for the info I kinda figured just toss or save as back up but I thought I ask As for the gouges what do you use to sharpen them other than Japanese water stone I'm going to look up that one
-
do you guys sharpen your blades like the #11 blade or just get more and for the carving blades what do you use to sharpen them

great thanks guys, it took longer to stain it than it did to build it

Launch is complete. Should i put a lacquer on it or leave it as is Used American walnut and cedar mix stain

Well all i am back at it, I started cutting the wood for the launchways, I have decided to do that for now then get back to the ship. I have started to get ready to trim the keel, I am going to use the process that Hopefull did, by using the 1/8x1/8 wood and center it and use it as a guide to fair the keel. I do have a question, for a 1/8 x 1/8 piece of wood 12 inches long how long do i have to soak it so i can bend it so it will sit on the keel pics to follow soon
