Perfect preparation for planking Gary. I look forward to the continuation.

Hi guys, I finally found the time to update my log. Thank you Chuck, I agree with you and I won't mix wood types. So I just cut the cherry strips for the deck... Continuation of chapter four: I glued the two halves of the false deck together and fitted them to the model like this. Before I did that, I checked to make sure they were the same width. And finally the bulwark planking can begin. I have a feeling it was more challenging than the hull planking. I'm really happy that I did it before I would have painted the friezes. I have also now modified the deck clamps for forecastle beams based on chapter eight. And I also finished the first chapter and glued the bollard timbers to place...

I was originally planning on a maple deck but now I think I'll just stick with cherry wood. What do you think? Test on the sub deck... and next beams and carlings false deck test in the fore aft placing

Thanks for the compliments, I am lucky to learn and be inspired by you guys. Planking was a difficult process and it doesn't even seem to have taken several months. I'm glad it's done. But unfortunately I can't wax the hull yet. I'm thinking of buying a WOP and trying this method of finishing. I decided to skip the third chapter for now and start chapter four first. I think it will be better that way and at least I won't damage the mouldings and friezes while doing rough work on the deck.

this is the result

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...

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.
