As a matter of fact, tracing out #1 on the cutting board works better than using the original drawing. Building #2 required two attempts. I am starting to pile up my fails, as you can see in the photo below. 👇 LOL 😝 #3 on the board… BUT, yes it’s getting easier. 😎 Cheers 🍻

BTW… Maine’s First Ship was built in 1607 by one of the first English Colonies in Popham Maine. Here a link to their website. https://mfship.org/ Maine’s First Ship museum has built a replica.

Follow up on the DESMG Expo… I Demonstrated building the Paddle Wheel for the Klondike and Displayed 6 of my completed models. It was a great 3 day Expo held in Bath Maine at Maine’s First Ship Museum. The hours drive up each day was well worth it. Transportation of the models was a bit sketchy but they all survived the trip. Everything is back home, now it’s time to get to work in the ship yard. Cheers 🍻

Thanks John, We will see how my duplication x5 comes out.

Thanks Keith, I also took your advice and purchased some small chisel blades to trim the ends. Much cleaner square cuts. 👍

Paddle Wheel 2.0… Determined to get this right, started over with the spokes. 1.0 wheel spokes were to big. Winter is coming, should start getting some more time in the ship yard. Cheers 🍻

Displayed the Red Jacket (in progress) at our Down East Ship Modelers Guild Expo in Bath Maine. Along with a few of my completed models. Should have more progress to post soon. Cheers 🍻
