I looked all over MSW for decking ,got to many ideals , but keeping with small steps, I did a butt shift patten that I thought the Pinta might have.That Pdf file on decking got me Rev up to do a 5 shift patten but I don't think the Pinta had that anyway. So this is my poop deck, I did not need to drill the holes on the stern or most of the front row ,lol practice 🤔. The pencil lines look good , it will do. Not sure if you can see them in the picture but close to what I wanted. More practice grasshopper.

This is going to help me decide my next decking, might use pencil to shade the edges of the planks. Plus I got the book Shipbuilding Simplified, great book I am getting excited about trying some of these things , Not sure about copy right things, but I think if I post something that I am not suppose to they notify me quickly. LOL . 👋👋

I just put it together lose, I will take it apart and shim it here and there and clamps lots of clamps. I found a pdf file on a page I have no I deal how I I got to But it about decking I would like to learn because I drew it with a pencil on The Santa Maria , and would like to do it right this time. Was that cheating just drawing it in with a pencil lol The pdf is great for figuring out how to lay it out should be fun Plus got my new hand drill to make all the tiny holes in the deck . I will post here when I start Clamping the painted one together.

So most builds I see start with an open the box picture, I plan to build the ship right out of the box, minor changes maybe but by the book.The Santa Maria institutions are in Italian, was hard to follow, as my new found friend Lapinas will tell you about he has a great page I sat for hours learning planking putting it together thanks so much. Many other pages help to . This one is in English and looks easier to read. I will try to use what I learned on the first to improve on the next. First thing I noticed only two rolls of rope instead of four , be done in no time lol. 🙃 😅 Well it begins but real life is calling, did I mention I was old and can't hear to good . Bye for now. 👋 👋 👋 👋
