Your detailed log will be very beneficial for all who follow. Thanks for this. I tend to get in a zone and forget pictures for several steps. 😉

Thank you Jean-Paul, Sjors, JJ and Bob. Much appreciated. Also for all the likes. I'll give you the same answer I used to give my dad when I was a teenager and I quote, "Ummm, ahhhh, welllllllll, maybe, I don't know." That should about cover it.

Thanks Mark and Sjors. Sjors I've been following your Flirt and you're doing a great job on her! Also thanks for the likes. On to planking the deck. I planked her using pear wood. No big surprises, just follow Chucks directions! Here you can see the start of laying the first center line plank and the the filling in between the hatches etc. Then came the tabs around the hatches. You can see how I started figuring the cuts and just kept making small cuts and sanding until a tight fit was obtained. More pieces than I care to count went into the waste bin! Here all the tabs have been completed. Planking the remaining deck came next. First coat of wipe on poly going on. Brings out the colors nicely. Whew that was a lot of fun!

Hi Bob. I spoke with Chuck regarding the cannon a while ago and he said "The cannon are in fact the 1 15/16 resin for the gun deck. 1 9/16 for the upper decks. If you leave the aft port empty like I will you will need 24.....1 15/16 cannon. None in the foremost port either." By the way great choice on the Duchess of Kingston. I'm severely tempted to get her.

From the pictures it looks like you were a little to aggressive with the sanding. You can build the frame back up with stripe wood on the face if needed. I would wait until you've framed in the stern. Once that's done I would think it will give you better idea of just how much you are off. I hope this helps

You have my sympathy. Been there done that as they say. Wish I was closer and could help. Ken, Send your sons over so Chuck can get some time on the Winnie! 😂

Thank you Zarkon and Glenn. I used Admiralty Paints Matt (Metal) Black but I think Dull Black would work just as well. Thanks for the likes too!

I've now set the hatches and partners in place. I tried real hard to keep them centered. Time will tell. I elevated the capstan partner by 1/32" as called for. I also forgot to include a pic of the waterway. It's 3/64" x 3/64" with one side rounded off to a quarter round molding . Tips of the finger took a bit of a beating from the sandpaper. Next up will be planking between the hatches and lining off the deck for planking. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Chuck. Also thanks for all the likes. In the chapter 4 parts there are laser cut parts for the mast and capstan partners. I was feeling creative so I wanted to see is I could reproduce them in pear. I used Chucks parts as a guide for cutting. First I drilled two holes the same size as the originals. One extra for each size. I figured it was easier to cut them on the full sheet to minimize the chance is splitting and cracking. I cut them on the table saw and then used the disk sander to get them to the correct size. I then cut the remaining pieces to size and assembled them. Next I'll start placing the hatches and partners on the deck.

I used the hatch coamings and gratings from the Syren. The laser cutting was perfect and everything went together without issue!
