It all looks great Jacques, you’re way out of my league to offer any suggestions. But the frame reminds me of John Smith’s shallop. It had jigs to build the frames and a jig to set the frames. And I wondered through out that part of the build if I would ever get passed it:-) I can’t imagine doing it by scratch.

Once you get your back taken care of, I think you need to give up the yard work and just model:-)

I’ve been shaping the yards and boom. Also making the sails. This teabag paper is working good for me. It doesn’t require a new skill:-) First I trace the sails on the paper then paint one side to give it a little stiffness. After a few days of drying, so it’s not tacky. I cut them out. next I cut strips for the seams, hems and corner supports. After all that’s done I paint over both sides. Then glue a rope around the sides. I still have four more sails to glue this rope on.

First off, I’d like to retract “the stapling the work to the bench”. It was a desperate attempt with ugly results. I had some other kind of wood. I can’t remember the name, I had never heard of it:-) Anyway it was 1 x 2 mm, instead of 1 x 1 mm. I bent them first then using pins glued them together. I sanded them down to about 1.2mm. It was difficult to keep the 1 x 1 flat after being bend, to glue them together. So I’d do that again if needs be. Here’s some shots of the top rail. I work on the strips on the side. Maybe one day I can try and learn the names of the parts I’m building:-) Just to change I looked in to the hinges for the rudder. They are .1mm brass. One finger spasm would turn them into a brass nugget. I decided then I will glue them together. Then glue them on the rudder. Then glue the wood on rudder to the hull. Maybe it will stay on at least till it makes it to Auburn Alabama. The doors and windows were a nice challenge. I did them only a few minutes at a time over several weeks. Here’s where I’m at now. Thinking I’ll finish the rudder and see if I can get the cast metal stern piece to stick to the wood.

The Mossy Shipyard by Bryan Woods - 1:1
Bryan Woods replied to Bryan Woods's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Work on the flagstone walk has slowly made progress. I set my inexpensive mixer up and modified a broken wheelbarrow, so it would set under the mixer and not require my wife to hold the handles up on it while I dumped it. Then I just drug it over a few feet to the molds. They turned out pretty good. I’ve gotten better at not getting it too wet or too dry. In the sunlight they still look like concrete. Nature will stain them like it does everything else around the yard. But the moonlight really shows the texture. I’ve been at it for 14 days of mixing an eighty pound bag per day. That fills all six stones and a bit left over. I use it just to patch pour a round stone that I’m sure I can find a place that could use one:-) At first the stones were challenging to fit together. They just came in a box with zero paper work or diagram. So here’s where I started. To push them up closer to the deck I used a straight edge to see where that middle stone needed removed. On my next pour I pushed wood strips in the cement where I needed it cut. I think I may have 12 more days to mix. What I’m dreading is, having to remove them all, to semi level the ground. I didn’t do it to start with because I really had no idea where it was going to lead. After about 5 days worth I could visualize the pattern. I may need to move it north or south a little bit to work around those trees where it will stop. -
For the last few weeks,( except for 4 days and nights that I stayed with my brother to help him build a tree house for his grandson) I worked on the veneer topside. The top rail is made up of three 1 x 1 strips bent and glued together. They didn’t retain their shape after glueing them together, so I tried bending them glued. This worked on one side but the other seemed to fight me. So I just stapled it down to my work bench overnight. Next up, I need to make all the little things that glue to the deck, doors, windows.

I finished the second planking. I pretty much just decided which plank to do next and what shape it needed to be. Thinking to whole time there’s a better way of doing it:-) But it all turned out. I’ve also removed the bulk head ends above the deck. I’ll be ready to start the deck planking as soon as I decide what wood to use on what area.

Welcome to the forum!

Everything started so good:-) Then the reality of my lack of knowledge set in. I think I’ve worked myself into a tight squeeze:-) Right now my only plan is to go thin at the bow. That’s probably going to end up as a weird shape in the middle. And I hope the edges aren’t up so far they can’t be sanded down. But until a better plan, or any plan comes to mind, I’m going to keep cutting and gluing.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
