  1. Sorry about the delay,  a trip to the ER for my ticker , I am ok just to high reading of blood pressure, very high lol Plus the Grandson wanted this done20230921_175107.thumb.jpg.10244e2aee6fbfd05afed9c12770acd9.jpg20230921_203227.thumb.jpg.d2910bc885efe42723311f4009081b77.jpgSo now the second planking is finished  🙌.  I did pretty good  this time.  I ended up having to put a stealers on the Bow and stern but it's  planked.

    Because I did the Sea of Galilee boat the planks on that kit came pre tapered, I thought  that I would do the same so,

    I tapered 10 planks and after the first three planks were on. Then started at the keel and work up. It worked out well  except for the stealers but they are under the copper.

    Now its on to the coppering.  @Keith Black I value your opinion very much, but I like shinny things lol I have no intention of using @aliluke method for his copper  lol sorry.  The shinnier the better  for me . I even intend on keeping it shiny  by polishing it yearly  lol. If it turns out well , if not I will scrape it all off and paint it white. So I am off to learn how to copper, I used my third hand and at the 60 mm mark  I drew the water line, I will tape it before I start. But I don't know when I get to that so I will leave it off till I start.

      I can't thank everyone enough for all their help , but here is another  thankyou. 

      Later my friends 😚:cheers:

    PS  captain Marvin  says he staying lol
