Better every time I see it

Thanks JJ and Chuck! I'm glad I can squeeze some time in to work on her!

Now that most of the dusty work is done I've installed all of the quarter gallery and stern windows. 

I also cut the inboard stern window sills. 

Next up will be the gun port lids and hinges.

Wow that is simply amazing work!

Very nice work Fred. 

Excellent seizing and rigging Glenn. So neat and clean! 

I've started adding the lower shrouds to the fore mast. A little progress is better than no progress!  

Thanks Greg!

A lot of repetitive work but they look great Bob!

She looks fantastic Glenn. Well done!

You are getting to all the fun stuff now

Thanks Chuck. Yes this is the reward for all the planking. 😁

Thank you Reg, JJ and Glenn. Also for all the likes.

Glenn despite it's size it's really a lot of fun. Plus it's not rigged so that helps keep the foot print down.

I was able to find a little time to complete the rudder cover and the benches.

The parts are laser cut from cherry by Syren. and are perfect.

Now I have to clean up any dust so I can add the windows to the stern and Q galleries 

'. 

Great job!

Very nice Mike!

Great job Greg!

Under the quarter deck there are six per side including one that is curved or shifted around a gun port.

Looks great and sounds like fun!

Very nice work B.E.

Thank you Vlad.

Thanks Joe. Yes still 6 days a week. Though the activity is decreasing I've still have to put in the hours.

I just pick away a bit at a time and I post once I've compiled enough. 

Thanks Glenn. 

Hi Glenn,

Your Cheerful is looking great and so are your pictures. Love it!

I have found this to be a very difficult task to get right. I lost count of the number of times the jeer threads seemed to get wrapped around the various stays.

For me it seems I spend an extraordinary amount of time rerunning line as I keep crossing them. She's coming along nicely.

Just curious about the size of the rudder opening. Seems a bit small (in the photo view). If your rudder were functional would you be able to swing it to it's proper angle

Hi Greg. I've enjoyed working with the pear and happy with the way it is looking. As to the rudder opening you are correct about the openings size. I can get about 2/3 movement but I didn't want to cut away more of the frieze. So straight and steady for this Winnie! Can't get anything past those sharp eyes of yours.

one of those things that looks more stressful than it is.

Exactly! Just follow Chucks mantra "slow and steady"  

Thanks Greg.

For me I would do it at Chapter 5. It wasn't hard at all to do and I'd worry about putting the frieze on with the hole there.
