Hey guys, I haven't made a post in a while, but I've been working very hard and I finally have news because I finished planking. Just need to glue the stern post and then I'll take hopefully better pics. And the second chapter will be finished. A few more photos that preceded it. garboard strake...
-
You handled the planking nicely Glenn, I like it a lot.
-
I admire your engineering Chuck ! Perfectly thought out and constructed. A pleasure to watch.

Nice work Dave !
-
Thanks Chuck ! So after a dusty week I report that the inboard fairing is finished for now. I can go back to planking.
-
Thank you for the kind words and likes guys. I finished the second belt and before I continue I've finally started fairing inboard as well. And I also was bending the top cap. I blackened the inside edge so I know as far as I can sand. It's slow going, I'll continue tomorrow...
-
Nice work Glenn ! and I think I also need to test the WOP coating
-
Thank you Chuck, Glenn and also for the likes! I'm making slower progress now, here's a little preview. Still two more strakes to finish the second belt...
-
One more photo from today's sunny day, before I start the second belt

Linning off the Hull ... the second part to check out

Hey guys, I haven't made a post in a long time because all my energy has been directed towards planking... reply to the wax, in that one photo it's freshly applied and it gives the look of gloss. I also prefer a matte or satin look. But this point is still too far, I can't wax continuously otherwise I wouldn't be able to glue on the waxed surface anymore and that's a bit of a disadvantage compared to wipe on poly. So I finished the first belt, this is what it looks like
-
Nice progress Glenn! Clean work, smooth lines, a joy to watch.
-
wow the cannons are perfect, great job !
-
Maybe I was too hurried because after finishing the planking there will still be a lot of sanding to be done, and then I'll apply one more final coat and then add the Black strake at last. And on top of that will be applied liquid wax. (that is the plan for now) Test:

Thanks for the likes guys, some photos for Easter... I added the anchor lining and after the final sanding of the second layer of wales I used a Fiebings Leather Dye stain. I like it because it is beautiful to see the texture of the wood. But the processing was difficult.
-
Beautiful and clean work, perfect photos, it's just awesome.

Thank you Chuck for both the compliments and the warning. I hope I can prevent the mistake you mention.
-
So I'm slowly getting closer to finishing the second layer of wales, one test...
-
Linning off the Hull ... only a few pictures, Thanks to Chuck's tick strips, I only needed to make slight adjustments. But surely a constant check during the planking will be necessary. Before I started the second layer of wales I glued one strake as I planned.
-
it looks nice Ben, the deck is also boxwood?
-
Thank you for the nice comments and for the likes guys, it always encourages! On the starboard side I glued the first two strakes below the wales. Maybe I'll add 1-2 more strakes to make it sanding smoother . But before that - Lining of the Hull. And then I'll add a second layer of wales, what I'm looking forward to it.
-
Very nice Glenn, I look forward to the continuing
-
planking above the wales after a month of work, final result ...
