Thanks Chuck, Your plans and directions make it a whole lot easier. Thank you Eric. I see your doing some good work on the Syren. Nice job on the coppering the hull. I love that Model. It was my first scratch build. Thanks Jaxboat. I used the table saw to cut the grooves. Trust me there have been many rejects before the final ones made it to the model.. OK I put the Syren Ship Modeling traveler ring on the bowsprit. I then served some .025 rope for the bobstay with a 3/16" single block seized to one end. The opposite end was fed through the stem and seized. Some .012 line was attached to the bobstay block and fed through the lower double block on the bowsprit. At this point I discovered I had no belaying pin to secure the line to! Head slap. Ok now it's time to make some belaying pins!

Ok I said I'd more for the weekend! I just didn't say which one. The two yards have been completed. Blocks, foot ropes etc have also been attached. Next up I have to breakout the original Syren Serv-O-Matic and try serving line for the first time.

Thanks Dirk, Joe, Grant, Pat, and Elia for stopping by and the kind words. Also thanks everyone for the likes. The mast has been painted and assembled and dry fit back in place. I'll continue fitting out the yards next. Then it's time to learn to make thimbles and seize line!

Hi all, Been real busy this summer with vacation, family commitments and working the last 4 weeks straight hasn't left a lot of time for modeling. I did pop in and out of the shop from time to time a few minutes at a time. To make the various masts, yards etc I took some boxwood cut into square stock and shaped them. The mast dry fitted. Next I'll be painting and attaching blocks and foot ropes. It's great to be back in the shop and doing what I'm supposed to be doing!

Hi Bob, You've been busy while I was away. As usual some great workmanship and it was a pleasure catching up on your log. I agree making parts multiple times and the continuous sanding, test fitting and sanding again is truly one of the pleasures. Keep up the good work!

It’s time for a long overdue up date. Next up was the rudder. Like other parts I used Chucks Syren laser cut rudder. The rudder is tapered as it works its way aft. Also the forward edge is chamfered on both sides. The pintels and grudeons were made made from another Syren kit. The bolts are simulated with 24 gauge wire. Time to make some masts and yards!
