  1. Fantastic work Chuck. I so look forward to the fall/winter so I can get back to work on the Speedwell!
  2. Hi Chris. I just caught up on your build and you are off to a great start. I look forward to following along!
  3. Great work on the cannon. Such a relief after the long go getting all of them done.
  4. His Ben. I'm glad to see that you will be building the Portland prototype and I can't wait to see it come together.
  5. Congratulations on your "end game" plan. Speedwell will keep me busy for a few more years though I'll miss building your new designs.
  6. I just caught up on all of these posts and I would say I'm amazed at how good they all are but amazing is what you do! I can't wait to have a build I would need to use them on.
  7. I just got caught up after being away for a bit. Your build is really a joy to follow!
  8. I'll add my welcome back too. Always a pleasure following your work!
  9. Thank you, Mike, Rick, Ian and Chuck, for the kind words. It's slow careful work but I'm really enjoying it. Also thank you for stopping by and all the likes.
  10. No work for a week allowed me to shape and add the quarter piece and finish up the last cant frames. When I started fairing the last cant frames I knocked a frame loose. So after reinstalling the loose frame I added some stiffeners just like Mike did. These will be hidden by the planking. I have also added the upper port sills. The entire hull has so far been sanded with 120 grit. I'll progress to 400 grit. Once the sanding is completed I'll do the stern framing.
  11. That is an amazing build. I have loved following along all these years. You have done yourself proud! May I ask where sourced your case from?
  12. Thank you Glenn and Greg. It's truly hard losing a best friend. This was the fifth in a long line of lost buddies. The hole in our heart never fills but we survive. Thank you all for your kind thoughts. Now that the holiday is over building will resume shortly.
