Its only when close up shots appear that you begin to appreciate the level of detail and complexity of this tremendous model. have you kept a log of the hours invested so far? Looking forward to the gallery shots! -
Jeez Keith, for a man who nearly had to saw the top off his mainmast you sail very close to the wind, my friend!

Lovely stuff - some grease on the tow plate maybe?
-
Glad to hear you are on the mend and well enough to recommence light duties. Your capentry skills are wonderful; such clean tight joints, and not a bit of glue on show! Tremendous!

Just worked out that here in the UK we pay $6.79 a gallon.... wonder if she could make it across the pond; we could share the profits.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Hakan. Morphine can cause hallucinations, so be careful who you chase around the ward.

Well it worked for Rome. What wood are you using for the deck beams?
-
Many Happy returns Hakan!! Lookin' good!

Masterful work Gary, great weathering effect on the wood!

From the research I'm doing for my next build I understand these rounded counter ended-sterns were among the hardest to frame - even the old shipwrights needed 'proper' plans. Looks to me like the stern post was measured to the sheer line not the deck line. The plans I'm working up didn't include a deck line, so it's a 'gotcha' you have helped me prevent down the line. It's an ill wind etc. Hope you feel better soon, and the therapy of reshaping a beam will help, I'm sure!

Had to find 'Altair' to see what this was about... now I have another wonderful build log to read through. Tremendous.

Wow! Couldn't do without mine... a 40 year old dewalt 16". Cuts to about 5 thou tolerance. Go on. spoilt yerself Keith!

Just noticed this; I must pay more attention. Lovely work Gary.

Have you considered the compromise of lowering the floor? I recently agreed to this in order to get my renovation plan for the kithcen passed by the chair of the planning committee. Needs must, you know.

That's some very fancy joinery Hakan. I'm always impressed when close up photography looks flawless. Particularly like the steel 'treenails' great idea!!

Great Job Keith's Missus. I think she may have the basis for a lucrative business there! The rest of the boat ain't bad either! Very nice joint effort!
