  1. Looking good John! How long is each plank? What are you following for the planking?
  2. I’m afaraid to ask how you built that motor and how long it took. 🫣
  3. Hi John, welcome to the forum! 👍😀
  4. That base really finishes off the build! Very nice indeed. 👍😀
  5. I concur with Glenn. NRG notified me via email. Can’t do better than that. 👍
  6. OUTSTANDING! Nothing else to say. 👍😀
  7. Did you say that out loud in your Darth Vader voice? 😆 Sorry, couldn’t resist.
  8. Hi Kale, welcome! 😀
  9. Hey Bill, why did you leave all your eyelets bare metal? I joined the build late, sorry if you answered this before.
  10. Hi Glenn, I’m surprised on this build to see how much building there is to do before actual planking begins. I’m fortunate to have 3 members building the same ship, and all are relatively close in their building stages, sort of like the MSW group builds. 👍😀
  11. Hi Nearshore, That’s the way it works here. Most of what you see me do, I learned from someone here on the MSW forum (my cradle is an example). 😀 Ask questions! Glad to have you aboard. What’s your name?
  12. Hi All, Moving along nicely. I had 2 bulkheads glued on when I noticed I did not have the rabbet cut, so I experienced my first lesson on releasing wood glue. Took them off, cut the rabbets and then got the bulkheads on. 😑
  13. Good on you Brother. Look upwards to heaven and smile, letting God know he runs things! 🙏👍😀
  14. Hi Mike, welcome to the forum! What ships have you built? What are you thinking about building next?
  15. What scale are you building when you do this real marlin spike?
  16. NICE! You keep this up and scratch building is going to have a new meaning. 👍😀
  17. Well that lasted a few months. 😆 Since I so boldly stated above, I am working on a wooden ship, a card model airplane, just got done building a plastic model plane with my grandson and am researching scratch building a wooden ship. I guess the old “never say never” might apply. 😆
  18. Welcome to the forum! 👍😀
  19. Hi John, I did put the pins in. There is one technique I’m not shy doing. Pin drill, 24g wire “nails” and some glue. 👍😀 Really worked nice on the anchor stocks. Thanks for keeping an eye on me! 😁
  20. Hi All, After all the bulkheads were cut out and laid against the drawing, bulkhead “I” was really off and I’m going to have to whittle on that one. The keel is done and now it’s time to get the rabbet laid out.
  21. Outstanding build Sir, really nice! Glad you finished her. 👍😀
