Thanks, everyone - appreciate the kind words!
I really don't have any progress I can offer up, picture wise, so please forgive.

Hello Popeye,
So you finally started the rigging. I'm glad the blackened thread works like a charm.
Don't want to rush you, but do you have a picture of the standing rigging?
Now I'm sounding like Sjors. But you understand, you like eye candy as well
Take care,
Anja

You got it! Sweet dreams - to Sjors as well - remember, cotton balls work not only for the cannon but also to plug the ears to block out snoring...

Hello friends,
Here it is, a little update on my Half Moon. Finally!
The second planking on the starboard side is underway.
I re planked the poopdeck because it was damaged.
The frames of the main deck and the forecastle weren't all aligned and straight.
I reduced the size of the frames on the main deck to make them more straight.
And I totally removed the frames on the forecastle.
Then I made inner bulwarks to be placed against the hull. Thank you for this idea Mobbsie.
But before placing them permanently, I will have to see if the railing will still fit.
Unfortunately the wood that is used for the inner bulwarks is of a different colour than the deck planking.
I tried to stain the inside of the hull, but that was not a success. It doesn't cover the wood very well. So, I think I'm also going to use planks for the inside of the hull.
Then everything will have the same color.

That's nice to hear Wayne. I'm glad you had a wonderful weekend.
And I think you just gave a hint of some sort .....
Take care,

Hello Wayne,
Yes, the repair went well and it's good to be back.
We haven't been to the garden center, so we didn't plant anything in the garden yet.
The only plants wich have survived this winter are one hydrangea and three privets (ligustrum).
It will have to wait a week or two. Still have to decide what to plant. They must at least be hardy.
A garden can sometimes be a lot of hard work.
I think I will trade ours for a balcony.
And how was your birthday? Did you have a good day?
Thanks for looking in and take care,
Anja

Hello Augie,
Thanks, it's good to be back.
Good luck with the snow shoveling. If you're fed up with it, just come to us, the weather here is slightly improving.
No snow and no rain today. Only sunshine. And the weather forecast for the coming week is not to bad.
And lots of places to go fishing

Things are a bit out of order but still represent much of the build process. These pics show the addition of railing after the decks have all been placed and set, including the pilot house.

Since I got a breather from dealing with contractors, etc., I thought I thought I post some shots of my stack brace device....made out of nails and a sanding block. I first tried to make the braces with the supplied wire but it kinked so easily it was impossible to have it look like it was under tension...just looked like kinked wire. Instead I substitued the same bead stringing cable that was used for al the other bracing.
