Superb rigging Bob, as always.
Now I'm not going to ask what your planning on building next mate, I wouldn't do that now would I.

Hi Rusty
Shame about the damage mate but nicely fixed.
You weren't kidding when you said you went with the subtle colour for the treenails, they do however look great.

Well it’s time to start chapter 6 which covers inboard work. The first step
requires making a lot of dust again. The bulwarks need to be thinned down
to 1/16”. I placed a piece of strip wood to show 1/16” and how much needs
to be removed.
To accomplish this I used a dremel tool with a course bit and then a fine
sanding drum to get close and finished with sandpaper. Here you can see
the tools I used as well as the down draft table to collect the majority
of the dust.
Here you can see a section roughed in. Once all has been sanded like this I’ll
go back and clean it up and finish it off.
After finishing the sanding it will be time to install the false deck and plank
the bulwarks.

Well I’ve been able to get some time to work on the Cheerful and all the
treenails have been added. I went with the simulated ones as Chuck
described. I decided to go very subtle with the color of the treenails.
While doing the treenails the clumsy hands came to visit and a couple of
planks suffered some damage. So a minor tear out and repair was in order.
It’s fun to do stuff twice.
The molding have been place, wales have been painted black and a coat
of wipe on poly applied.

Hi All,
Well I've completed the hull planking and the square tuck. Taking ones time,
using the planking fan, planning out the belts and run of the planks actual
makes for a very enjoyable experience. No more forcing planks and getting
an uneven planking job. Follow Chucks description and methods and you won't
be disappointed.
Also you'll notice that a work area cleaning was recently completed!
I'll be out of touch for a couple of days so I'll apologize now for any late response.

Hi All,
After placing the first two strakes it was time to line off the hull. The hull
was divided into two bands of 9. Each band was laid out using tick strips
and a planking fan as Chuck described in his log. I also added the second
layer to the wales now. I will wait to paint them until the hull is fully planked.
Here is the first belt fully planked.

I'm a little behind in my posting, because I've had some computer issues that have kept me from accessing or using my photos. Hopefully, all is resolved now.
The topsail yard has now been fitted out, mounted and rigged. As with the lower yard, the fitting out included adding the foot ropes, blocks, the yard portion of the halliard, the lifts, the clews and the braces. With all of that completed , I mounted the yard to a pin on the topmast and completed the rigging. This involved running the halliard through the masthead sheave and then adding it's tackle, running the lifts through blocks seized to the masthead, completing the clews and adding the sheets which were then run down through the sheaves in the lower yard and running the braces through a block hooked to an eye at the bowsprit tip.
From here, it is on to the gaff and boom.
