  1. Painted the interior with the True North Ghost Grey. It had become a little thick with age, so thinned it out. Used the grey primer as a base coat on the interior, but not on the exterior, where I used three light coats of enamel. I thought the grey primer might tint the buff paint. Was I wrong?
  2. Progress. Got the gunwales sorted and attached the planking. What do people use for filler? I'd like to smooth some gaps.
  3. Hi all, I've had a pretty smooth experience building the frame, but the gunwale strips are proving a little difficult at the stem and transom. I've still got some pretty good spring strength in the strips and I've actually snapped the stem and had to re-glue it trying to try fit the parts together at the bow. Any tips and tricks for getting the bow and stern together? I think the stern will go together pretty easily, but I need to trim the strips to get a better fit and I might need to fill some gaps. Also, is there a discussion about different glues elsewhere that you might point me to? I've been using wood glue just out of habit with other projects and because a fuss with things a bit before setting, but I could see CA glue being useful.
  4. Thanks for the warm greetings. I'll post photos of the more significant milestones to the web site. I'm going to be a little more granular with photos on my phone album. It's been a long time since I've made a boat model, but I have been in BlueJacket's shop in Searsport several times over the past few years and decided I had to give one a try. I chose the dory to start small and because it reminds me of the boats I used to row in summer camp. I've got a "full size" Wood Duck kayak project from Chesapeake Light Craft underway as well, but it is paused for the moment until the weather comes back to a temperature friendly for curing epoxy.
  5. I picked up this model at the shop in Searsport, Maine this summer for a winter project. I've started a photo album here: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0W53qWtHVUJ0a
