  1. I found a little time to finish the inside. I got the decks and thwarts glued down. I put a tie rail, that’s what I call it:-) below the cap rail. The oarlocks are on for now, I’m probably going to break them off before I get it done. I’m steady sanding the mast down daily. Trying not to get carpal tunnel:-) still got the yard to make and paint them both before the rigging starts.
  2. Well we got the rain… still coming down. We have a county wide power outage. So probably no gravel today. This creek is normally dry, it only fills with rain water from all the ridges. This morning I walked down hoping it hasn’t started uncovering the counties main water line. I can deal with no power for a while but no water is a completely different story:-)
  3. I haven’t got to spend much time this week on the Kinneret. I tried some oil under the stern deck and it was going to shine way too much. Seeing shiny and flat beside each other made me lean to a not as shiny coat. I think it will give the boat more of an authentic look. When time is available I’ll give it a coat of dullcote top coat.
  4. The framers showed up again today. It’s starting to take shape. Lucky Me! It’s supposed to rain for the next 5 days. That means the guys bringing the gravel can’t dig on their other jobs and can squeeze me in. I might be wheelbarrowing in the rain for a few days. Thanks for all the likes!
  5. Yesterday we had a productive day. With my wife’s help we got the ditch dug conduit run , cable installed and the ditch filled. Then I spent the day cleaning up the dirt piles left behind from all the post holes that were dug. It’s supposed to rain for the next 5 or 6 days. The soil is mostly clay, when it’s stepped on it packs down hard. After the rain it would be impossible to work. So I packed the dirt in the cracks at the bottom to prevent the gravel from rolling out. Today I’ll just need to get the cable run in the trusses of the garage and over to the electrical panel. After that we’ll be waiting for the gravel to get delivered.
  6. Three young men’s progress today. Tomorrow I’ll start running the electric service cable to it.
  7. They did have trouble getting the trailer close enough. He had to go back down the drive and back up:-/
  8. They are so use to us, it wouldn’t be a challenge:-)
  9. Framing materials for the shipyard showed up today! We’ll have to see how much gets done today.
  10. Here’s the coat of gray. Then burnt umber. it kinda looks old. After it’s all done I’ll probably coat it with oil, I think it needs a little shine if it’s going to be decor. I’ll wait till tomorrow and see how it looks before I paint the inside.
  11. No fancy technique used here. To start I started on the bottom side of the stern deck. I only used gray and burnt umber. I deluded them down about 10-15 drops of water to 1 drop of ink. I think I ended up doubling that on the gray. I was mixing white and black together and lost count:-). Another thing is the obechi definitely does different than the basswood. The top deck is the old basswood that I painted a few weeks ago. I didn’t go as gray on the new one, plus I didn’t sand it at all so that’s probably making a difference. Here I tried the bottom of the hull. The Top I put the burnt umber on first and the gray last. The bottom half was just the opposite. I don’t think it made a lot of difference. I probably put the gray on first, just so I don’t accidentally load it down, right off the bat 🙂
  12. Well Keith, It looks like I’m just going to start my curve or probably my squiggle.
  13. After I made the center thwart I was thinking 🤔 should make new decks so they matched the obechi wood I used from left over Le Martegaou. Here’s all of them just laid in the hull. The deck supports are just laid in also. I haven’t glued any of them on because I’m wondering, when I do the ink wash I don’t want it concentrating in all of the perpendicular cracks? Any opinions about this is very much welcome:-)
  14. So I got off on a tangent while cutting and gluing the ribs on. I thought I might could shine a little light on this build 🙂 I started a prototype for a headlight or would it be a bowlight? I will need to build a basket or something around the shelf to hold the oil lamp. I have started the lamp. This one is wood, I’ll have to see if it’s going to work.
  15. They found my basswood strips and notified me. While I was waiting I started making some deadeyes for the shrouds, by layering thin plywood from previous builds. I also made some belay pens and the oarlocks. Installing these ribs lets me see how nonsymmetrical I constructed the hull. I haven’t decided if I’m going to install floor boards. I’ll wait and see how the inside of the hull looks after the finish. Here’s where I’m at.
