Well just when you think all is well ha ha. I Sliped when I drilled for the front mast.Had to take some decking out then blacken the edges glue down and re stain. I will scrape it again one more time for a better match . I will surly put a rope coil over it lol. Nothing really glued in have to drill all the holes for the RIGGING lol the Pinta is coming along nicely but I used shellac sealer for the finish coat I think it to shinny. We been though a lot this Pinta and me we come along way. It's fun this hobby, the call of the Mayflower is strong lol even brought it down to the shipyard.Its on the self lol. So this is were I am now the fun stuff the extras that make it shine Well time to break out the thread, deadeyes ,rat lines,rigging , oh my lol Thank for all who help and like it thanks

You got to love this hobby!!! I am having so much fun building this ship. Things seem to fit together well taking my time and using the miter box, for straighter cuts. Learning how to use my computer better but still respond to post that are years old lol, some of those logs are so impressive. Well a few pictures of where I stand know.

I told my first mate what you said Kevin ,still no no but down to two nos lol. I use weld bond glue, for me it sticks and it cleans up nice, what happened is I have sanded a bit to much in places ,I can fix that . I had trouble cutting the transverse but have a plan to hide that mistake. The fence I will have to make my own way the book shows one way ,the plan show another the pictures on the box shows another. And I ran out of wood lol. Did some more work on mast, crows nest , now the fence , later my friend's

Hello, I have painted the keel and I used putty for the tree nails, looks good ,I have no ideal how the putty will stand the test of time but it should stay like this for quite some time. Going to start my fences now, it's so much fun in the shipyard lol

Well got the port side planked. Not bad, but still not right. Close, every side I do it start to make sense A little to much glue shows through I will try to hide it before the finish coat goes on later. Just a little more sanding and putty and the planking done ,on to the deck maybe rudder builder's choice 🤔 lol

Ok so I'm about to start plaking the port side I think lol 😆. I have re-read the books ,watched the videos and ya no idea lol . Going to line it off in four sections but there is not much to shave off, they just fit lol. Been reading about old Christopher Columbus, seems he wrecked the Santa Maria and got a ride on the Nina for the trip home. Don't drink and Drive . So I thought how nice it will be when I start the Mayflower no sister ships, well I was wrong again, she had one, the SPEEDWELL. Started looking 🤔 for one lol. Didn't take me long to find one. Asked the first Mate 👎 ahem NO no no. Finish what you have lol 😆 😂. So I can get one as soon as I finish what I have . Bet they will be sold out by then, but it is on the list. Back to planking lol
