HI ALL
ITS ABOUT TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE.
TOPSIDES HAVE NOW BEEN PLANKED AS HAS THE STERN ALL TREENAILING COMPETED, IVE USED 0.8MM COPPER FOR THE WALE STRAKES....WILL PROBABLY USE A DILUTE LIVER OF SULPHER TO BLACKEN THESE LATER.
SOME REMEDIAL WORK TO DO AROUND THE GUNPORTS...NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GAP FOR THE GUNPORT LIDS.
DECK BEAMS CUT READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE.
AT THE MOMENT WORKING ON THE SHIPS STOVE AND OTHER THINGS BRASSY.
HAD A SENIOR MOMENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK.....SOLDERING THE TOP SECTION OF THE STOVE I PUT IT ON THE ANVIL AT THE BACK OF THE VICE TO COOL DOWN.....AND THEN GRABBED HOLD OF THE VICE TO TAKE SOME TUBE OUT OF THE JAWS......*$%"£!&^%*(&^%$!!!!!!!!!.....THE BRASS COMPONENT MAY HAVE LOOKED COLD BUT I RECKON IT WAS STILL A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DEGREES C.
FORTUNATELY THE COMPONENT WAS OK......ONCE A FEW BITS OF MY EPIDERMIS WERE REMOVED.
YOU WILL ALSO BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT MY TIRADE OF FOUL LANGUAGE,DIRECTED AT MYSELF FOR MY OWN STUPIDITY,WAS WORTHY OF THE SALTIEST OF JACK TARS.
AND YES IT STILL HURTS!!!!

Hi chuck
The copper bolts are something of an experiment.The Wales are ebony and I didn't fancy making ebony treen ails....the copper will blacken with liver of sulphur without staining the ebony.....once done I hope they blend in...I still want them to be seen but in a more subtle way.
They may well have bolted in practice as the full size timbers are 6 inches thick.
Hope this plan makes sense.
Cheers...mick
