I love the color and how the golden parts of the frieze pucks up the color of the carved elements
Yes I do too. Thank you for creating such a wonder design that we get to have so much fun with!
Thanks Glenn and Bob. She's so much fun to build.
Also thanks for the likes too!

Ok I can breath a little easier. I flipped her over cut the hole mounted the rudder and no dropsies.
As per the instructions the pintels and gudgeons were added, sanded thinner and the the bolts simulated
with 20lb monofilament though once everything was painted black they are hard to see in the pictures.
First Test Fit
Starting the finishing
And finished
I've seen Chuck beautiful base and pretty soon I've gotta figure out how I'm gonna mount her!

Thanks Steve. It felt great getting to work on her again.
Hi Matt, Not too afraid of turning her over though a spotter isn't a bad idea.
It's cutting the hole in the lower counter that has me spooked the most!
Also thanks for the likes!

Hi All,
My chapter 5 Cherry parts arrived a while ago and I've found sometime to get back at the Winnie.
Though Chuck supplied a superb laser cut rudder I tried my hand at cutting one out of pear on
my scroll saw. I'm pleased with the way it came out so I will be using it.
Here it is assembled waiting to be tapered on the aft side towards the bottom. It needs to end up
around 5/32" wide. I marked it off and you can see one side sanded to the correct thickness.
These are the boxwood laser cut pintels and gudgeons. They were added to the rudder along with the straps
and 20# monofilament to simulate the bolts.
Next I'll have to flip the hull over and, gasp, cut the rudder port in the lower counter and hang the rudder.
Nothing can go wrong doing that can it?!

I agree with Chuck and Matt. I did alternate the rows but that was just my way of doing it.
-
Thank you Chuck, Glenn and Glenn.

Oh so tempting. They tell me we'll be back to a more normal schedule in early May. Hopefully they're not blowing smoke up you know where!

I went with natural gun carriages, but a red capstan. It just seemed "right " to me. It is my intention to rig the guns with breach ropes and side tackles
Hi Bob, Everything is looking really nice. Red capstan for me also. I'm undecided on the gun carriages as I think both ways look really good. I intend to add at least the breach ropes and eagerly look forward to seeing how your side tackles come out!

Oh yeah for me the red capstan is definitely the way to go.

With my expanded work schedule unfortunately rigging will go slowly. With one day off a week it leaves little time available. When rigging I don't like to jump in and out with a half hour here, forty five minutes there. I prefer to have a couple of hours at a time so I can "get in a grove".

For me the center was the hardest. You should have smoother sailing now.
