Tiller time. I wanted to make the tiller out of walnut. I had a piece of black walnut bowl stock I had turned down in the workshop that was no longer needed so I cut a piece off: The piece was cut down to size and shaped using the kit supplied plywood piece as a template: I then took it to my drill and drilled out the slanted hole for the rudder head: The remaining wood was removed with the Exacto knife and the tiller shaped to fit:

Your attention to detail is mind blowing, Phil. Even though this isn't the type of model I would build particularly (because I have ZERO knowledge of them), I am interested in how you tackle certain aspects of the build. It's fun to follow along for sure.

Nice and precise, Steve. I like the work on those footropes, the knots are all well tied and neatly spaced. She is coming along very nicely!
-
You should be proud of this, Gary. She is a fine looking vessel!
-
I agree, those CAD drawings are very good, Phil. In case I missed it, are these models going to be 3D or resin printed?

A small update. Because I have been hopping in and out of the shipyard in between my other activities this summer, I have made little progress and didn't really take the time to catalog that with a bunch of images. I was really only working on the hull and paintwork so there wasn't a lot to tell. I have given the build a lick of paint which still needs refining, added the cap and fender rails (as previously stated) and put a primer of yellow ochre on the interior bulwarks. I am still deciding if I like that color. This is how she looks at this point in time:

Absolutely impressive work, John. A joy to behold for sure, and who gives a hoot about the background (shouldn't be looking at it anyway with this beauty in front of you!)
-
My thoughts exactly. Don't beat yourself up about it, Steve. For the record, I thing your gammoning looks just fine!
-
Really?!? I admire your consistency here, Phil. They look great.

Just a suggestion, Gary. I though that if you added another board under the current base (stained to the same color of course to match), and put your "discreet" shims between it and the current base at the relevant points, wouldn't that level it up enough? Once it was stained and the shims sanded down to the boards profile you would not even see them. Like I said, just a suggestion.

I can only second the above comments. That is some fine (and very inspirational) work, Maurice.

That is some fine woodwork, Mark. Very nicely done! You must have had a great sense of accomplishment having competed this as well as you did.
-
Reading your posts just makes me so aware of how much I don't know about all this It is fun to learn though, especially with fine builds like this.

You have come along very nicely, Ronald. She is looking fantastic. Your patience with this build is certainly paying off.

Guys, I have had a few messages asking if I am OK. The answer is yes, I am still out here With summer upon us, I am busy in what is now my flourishing garden. It is a lot warmer here than it was in the Shenandoah Valley where we moved from last year and my newly formed garden is already producing. On top of that I am having to learn the peculiarities of fishing on the Potomac river. It is all new to me, so the learning curve there regarding rig setups and where to fish depending on what I want to catch is still quite steep. I have made some progress on the Lynx, I just have not posted anything yet, my bad. The cap rails are on and the fender rails have also been fitted. We are expecting rain this weekend, so we will see if I can't get some work done in the shipyard. When the weather is as nice as it has been (apart from a few days of extreme heat), I cannot sit inside while the fish are jumping out in the bay outside my window

Tom, you did a fantastic job with those davits! They look great, truly. When the time comes, I am so going to steal your idea!! Nice work indeed.
