Today I feel compelled to start this boat. Last year while shopping around for more models to buy, I came across this boat. I found a log for it here at MSW and got the address for the boat. It was at Scott Miller Guitars http://www.semillerguitars.com/sea-of-galilee-boats/. I got in contact with Scott, and he explained what type of boat it was, it's called a strong back. He also told me what type of wood was used . He explained how much time goes into one of these kits and asked if I was I sure It was the kind of model I was looking for. We agreed on a deal and I bought one. So a year later lol, I emailed him and told him I was indeed going to build it. I don't know why I need to start this log today maybe because it is Easter Sunday. I opened the kit and placed it in a box that was more accessible to get the parts. The wood looks excellent, everything is labeled and packaged neatly. There are some really great logs of this boat here on MSW, some with lots of research and historical information if you care to look. I just need to build a boat, lol. So for the next couple of weeks I will be getting things organized for the build. I will add more info about the way I will build this model and hope it looks as good as the ones I have seen here. Follow at your own risk, there will be plenty of typos, and a whole lot of laughter and fun and I am allowed to use lots of CA glue for this model lol . Happy Easter everyone I am having a great one . Thanks so much Bob M.

Well my friends I am dropping the anchors on the Mayflower. I have received some books that showed me what I was looking for about rigging. Serving, seizing, puddening, oh my. I have never heard of puddening, please someone tell me the Mayflower did not have this lol. I know it up to me how far to take the details of my rigging. I ordered a Serving machine as , I had a hard time making my own. The machine is in Canada, tracking it now, be here on the 12th. So now I got to do some research lol, look for better pictures lol. I can not tell you all how much fun I am having here on MSW. Light switches are coming on all over the place, and I feel I am not running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I am just not sure of how far to take my rigging. So I am putting it on the shelf . Not for long though. Just doing research lol This will give me time to look at The NRG data base and the one here at MSW, all the information you need to build a Model thanks so much So I will see you all later , but don't be surprised if I start another build log, to keep my mined off of rigging lol .

Ir3, you forgot to add the word yet to your statement that you don't have the skill. I am a newbie here less than two years, and remember how excited I was about going down this rabbit hole lol. May I suggest that you shelf this one for awhile get a few less intricate ones. Then come back and nail the sucker . It's a journey we just have to take a different route, but we will get there . Hope you understand what I am trying to convey to you.

Dust masks and respirators.
Knocklouder replied to Bill Hudson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I do. I have lots of masks, and a few respirators I only have one set of lungs and can't afford a new set. So I look after the ones I have . -
Thoughts and prayers, my friend. 🙏

The Mayflower is a fun ship to build, I am making one now , if I can help in anyway let me know. Then I will ask someone who knows lol. Good luck on your journey

Yes it's the next layer that counts, if you look in the Data base here on MSW, the three bars at the top of the page will get you there. It shows you how, I have never mastered it yet, but I am still trying lol. I will follow along , but be forwarned I can't spell and make many mistakes, lol GOOD LUCK on your journey.

Like a tic on a hound buddy lol. Great job on the planking. Masts, rigging, sails, and the life boat. A bit of sealer your done Ooh yes yardarms too, no pressure you'll get there. Even if I have to get a few more members to help me prod you along, that child will get their ship lol. Your doing a great job, save some in the tank for the end , but Give'er Ps you could post at a more reasonable hour lol.

By Kraken, I think you go it. Congratulations, Glen, the First Mate agrees with me too , and that doesn't happen often lol. The water is so very well done wow. Thank you so much for your log , nicely done even with all the outside distractions lol. So whatcha fixing to do next , I want to get a front row seat. Plus you don't have to send me the 20 us dollars you promised if I write you a glowing review lol. Thank you for the memories it was a lot of fun. Well done my friend

They are not tied on , just clipped on till I have done the other side. Then I will tie everything together, my dyslexic way of rigging, bottom to top instead of top to bottom lol. Thanks for looking out for me.

The shrouds and deadeyes are done on the starboard side, now on to the portside. I will do the portside , then on to the Ratlines, my favorite part lol. Then the upper shrouds and rat lines. This will take awhile and my outside world is hampering my progress 😌. So it might be awhile before I get to post again lol, ok see you guys around. Thanks for everyone's help and time. I know my ships are not historical correct and I should do research on some stuff but my abilities to do that are lacking, but once I see how it is done or attempting to do then I understand. I have only been modeling for about two years, and have learnt to do so much. And there is a mountain of stuff to still learn. So a big thanks to everyone who help me along the way, and apologies for my typos and posting in the wrong place at times, I will get the hang of it lol Ok going to put into practice some of the stuff I learnt Sea you sooner or later lol
