Great job! -
That's what fly fishing was invented for.
-
Very nice work Steve, enjoyed getting caught up with it.
-
Love the attention to detail. As you say these things can multiply up later. Great work!
-
Hey - great job Woody!
-
Quite extrordinary! Well done on your research Cort, and your tenacity in finding all the right props.
-
Like you I mostly use hand tools, and improvise with home made jigs for other tasks - I enjoy the challenge! Well I am researching boats similar to your ketch - there is a long tradition of fishing ketches here in the south coast of England. I'm interested in the fact that they were built for the task longlining or trawling - powerful and able to work in big seas, yet fast to get the catch to market. I hope to choose a suitable boat for a build soon.

Great to see this Hakan, really like the original methodology, and hand working!
-
Now you're talkin'! Looks aren't everything, as I frequently tell my bathroom mirror.

Bloody Nora (a British term meaning 'I cant believe this') Vareriy - even the famous match is too big to fit in this photo! Stupendous.
-
No false modesty now - you've done a cracking job! As Keith says you have 'saved' the boat for the future.
-
Now this looks very interesting... I have been researching a similar style of boat recently, so I'll pull up the workshop stool and watch along Tony!
-
The grain on the frames looks really good - very authentic!

Hey Hakan, she's looking good! Remember that every day modelling, like flyfishing, is added to your life. Very best wishes from me too.

I was just thinking that... as a fly tiers we are fortunate to have available synthetic and natural threads in a huge range of sizes and colours, from 18/0 (VERY thin) to 6/0 (you'd tie a button on with this) and everything in-between. I'm sure any modern braid could be replicated on a rope walk machine quite easily. I must say to my (inexperienced) eye the scale is spot on Keith, and whether it's the reflection or not, it looks just great!

Just catching up...tremedous progress Haken - both the build and yourself! That photo down the frames gives a real sense of the shape of the hull- very elegant.

Mark's advice sounds very good to me. I know exactly what you mean Keith; had the same problem myself. I used the Admiral's Lumix to take some of my shots, and on automatic focus or flash I got the same results as you when close-up to the subject - (well actually yours are a deal better than mine to be fair). Then, under patient tuition, (as I am clueless on this really) I was shown how to put the thing in to 'aperture priority mode' and increase the indirect lighting (reflecting my anglepoise lamp off a white sheet) whilst making the aperture smaller. After a bit of trial an error I did get a passable improvement. Here's a snap taken on auto... ...and one with 'the method': If yours has the same button, it might be worth a go. Failing that others who really understand cameras will surely chip in!

As this log continues to have folks viewing it, I thought I'd post a link to the Louis Sauzedde 'Tips from a Shipwright' channel. He has begun the build of a full size replica of Orca, with a new post today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYuVwXPwcy0&ab_channel=TipsfromaShipwright
