  1. Been moving along here and there since cooler weather has set in and yard work has slowed down. Currently the gunwales are dampened and clamped. I'll do final sizing and glue next week. I've had a couple of misfires on the false stem but hopefully will get it lined out next week as well.
  2. Is there a specific height or landmark that the risers are set to or are pics just used for reference?
  3. My copy landed in Kentucky a week or 2 ago. Happy with the content.
  4. Looking more like a boat. Framework cut off and considering a rustic shelf to set it on when complete, the specifics are still in play. Wood for shelf found at my favorite supplier 😉 Side note: Of my hammer selection my Collins Legitimus is my favorite to clean nails out
  5. Plenty of mistakes goin on here but I'm moving forward with her. I have some gaps present, I'll cheat and hide those best I can. Bout have her planked up though. She's probably looking more like a "boat wreck" than a boat 😅
  6. I'm going to be treating myself to some calipers and right-angle gauges for the holidays. I'd be interested in seeing any and all measuring devices you guys use. Whether it be for measuring thickness, depth, or angles. Thanks, 👍
  7. I went with some strips of basswood, filled in spaces in between and then sanded smooth for repair on the plank. Stern knee bevel filed,..then finished with sandpaper..and we're glued to the frame. Thats it for today....may look into the oars later tonight.
  8. A little repair update...I'm still gonna piddle with some sort of patch for the plank...I don't think the joint will hold for any length of time when mounted to the frame.
