Dan, fantastic progress in the last month. Really wonderful

@dgbot

I know the model of Mr. Cole. He published his model on a website.

@Ed

Thanks very much for your description. I will give it a try before I made my decision. I made some other tests but these don't work very well, so I am trying and learning in the moment. The rabbet of this small vessel is really challenging and I don't want to break anothe backbone.

Really wonderful Ed

Welcome to the Triton shipyard and a lot of fun with your build

Looks really good. Well done

Alan, my condolences for your loss.

It's a nice idea to build the model in memory for him.

Mark, that looks like a promising start. I wish you all the best for your second attempt

I'll follow your log with great interest. I find this little boat very interesting. Thank's for the book hints. I hope that I can find some in Germany

Dan,

I don't know, what I can write what was not written before?

It's a fantastic build and build log with lots of tips. Thanks very much

Really nice progress

Welcome at the Triton shipyards. IO wish you a lot of fun with your build

Ed, thanks for the info. It's a completely different model and that is what I like

Robbl, wonderful pictures

Congrats for reaching this milestone, Ed. Your hull is looking very impressive. Do you think of publishing your drawings later?

Really wonderful, Johann

No pictures this weekend. Yesterday I tried to cut the rabbet but I am not really happy with the result. There are two main problems. The keel has over the whole length a curve wgich is quite difficult to cut precise. The second problem is the prepared rising wood with the notches for the frames. At this smaller parts the timber will bunk.

So I decided to build another backbone for my small cutter and try the rabbet again. I am thinking of only cutting the loer half of the rabbet at the midshipframes. During fairng the completed hull I am thinking of doing the upper half of the rabbet. Has anyone did a rabbet this way?

I hope that the changes I made in my design will help me to get a better result. If not, I will decide which of the finished keels looks better and use this for the rest of my build.

Really wonderful, Dan

Really wonderful, Robert

Mark,

I wish yo a lot of fun with your beast. I'll follow your log with great interest.

Welcome on board, Have a lot of fun with your build

Welcome on board. And much fun with your section build

It's looking really good

Realy wonderful. I like the combination of your timber colors

Very sorry to hear this.

Your log was a great inspiration and helpd me a lot in the last year to find my way. To much perfectionism is also bad, You will never be satisfied with the result of your build. This was/is my biggest problem. Your log helped me to come out of this spiral and I found the fun on building a ship model. Thanks for this.

I really know what you mean. i had these problem the last few years.
