  1. Very nice model. I like the keel jig very much. Your design or a commercial purchase? Ron Gove
  2. I believe that the Model Shipways plans are based on Smithsonian data by Erik A. R. Ronnberg, Jr.. I wonder if anyone knows which is correct. It is possible that both versions are correct, showing the vessel at different times of her life. Ron Gove
  3. Per the plans in the Model Shipways' version it is a cylinder. See attached photo
  4. I have used a hot air gun for bending planks succesfully. It does get very hot--just be careful. Ron Gove
  5. Very nice design. You should copyright it and manufacture it.
  6. Thanks for the advice. I think I will go for the thole pins. Good enough for Winslow Homer, it is good enough for me. :-) ron
  7. I need 1/4" scale oarlocks for the Benjamin Latham seine boat. None of the usual suppliers have any in stock close to this scale. I have been waiting for 2 months for canadian dealer who claims he has them on order. Has anyone tried to make locks from scratch? I am thinking of just putting in thole pins, even if they wouldn't be accurate (I don't think). Opinions? Hints? Ron Gove
