  1. Amazing how a bunch of "sticks" can become such a wonderful work of art! Looking good and thanks for sharing!
  2. Awesome work!! That's going to be superb. When you put a finish on it, those joints you labored over will just POP!! Thanks for sharing!
  3. Looks like a "SOLID", well laid out and very accurate bed from which the skeleton will rise!! Look forward to seeing this happen. Thanks for sharing for the rest of us to learn from!!
  4. Chris, I'm very excited to discover your build log! I immediately clicked to "follow"!! You are a few steps ahead of me on my current build and I am learning a lot from your pictures and posts. Thanks for sharing your wonderful and very accurate work. It is inspiring and will help me immensely!!! Keep on posting the great photos and discussion!
  5. Look forward to seeing the results of the steps you outlined above. I'm sure you will nail it...slow and steady! The joints in your previous post look nice and tight. Can't wait to see them with your finishing treatment. That should really make the wood grain pop and accentuate that great joinery!
  6. Those frames look great! The chocks are perfect and will add much to each frame!!! Thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated on your progress and the techniques you use to get these wonderful results!!
  7. Excellent progress. We look forward to watching these joints come together, step by careful step. IMO, they can make or break a model. You are several months ahead of my latest project. The mobile shipyard is still working on frames. We did have a friend deliver a package of pearwood stock to our current campground, for the keel and rising wood. So, workers here are already planning the steps and process for laying the keel and stem/stern pieces. I will continue to follow closely to glean what I can from your techniques and experience! Thanks for the great pictures and process descriptions!
  8. She's going to be over a yard long! Looking great. Can't wait to see it after you get it all glued up! Thanks for sharing!!
  9. I just discovered your excellent build log! I'm excited because you are a few weeks ahead of my build of the bomb ketch Salamandre. This means I can see how you complete the steps I am about to start!! Your frames look superb (I'm 75% through frame construction). I wait with anticipation to watch you mill and construct the keel. Thanks for posting such detailed pictures and descriptions!
  10. Well done!! Your work is so crisp and precise. An inspiration to us all. Regarding the last photo...I'm sure it was nice to not have to go to the "head" of the ship! Especially in heavy seas. Rank had its Privileges!!
  11. Beautiful work!! The lines and grains were so crisp and beautifully executed I initially thought I was looking at an AI image😄! Love it! Don't forget the seats of ease for the Captain, in those wonderful quater-galleries!!
  12. First read the post and thought it said 1.5 years but rereading only 1.5 months! Amazed how the color mellowed and love it as a choice for the pillars! It really adds character and texture to any model when one uses different woods to highlight specific items!
  13. Wow! Hours spent browsing this incredible log and I wish I could get more. Breasthooks and Hause Holes look great. I speak for all, when I say, I'm glad you are back with your tools and workshop, so we can gain insights and knowledge from your great skills and clear documentation of techniques.
  14. Look forward to seeing how this ages! I'm totally into "painting" a model with different woods. I hope this one loses some of the pink/purple hue...it seems too "colorful" right now. Glad you have some months to let the color mature.
