It's a while since I've dropped in, Grant, but I must say those boats look absolutely first class. Johnb -
Looking good, Popeye! John

She's really coming along beautifully, Bob. John

Thanks Johann. John

It's great to see you back, Mario! John

Mike, I really don't think there is a 'right' way to cut your sheet. It all depends on the sizes of your planks. You'll have different lengths of planks as you work around the hull, so whichever way you cut you'll have at least some waste. it's just a matter of watching your lengths and making the best use of it as you go along. John

Thanks, David. John

Thanks again, folks. John

Yes, what do de dowels do? No doubt you have a cunning plan up your sleeve! John

You just can't do one at a time can you, Michael. John

It just keeps getting better and better, Danny! John

Long handled surgical scissors
Jim Lad replied to RGL's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Greg, if you're looking for surgical tools, try a veterinarian site instead of searching 'surgical'. They're sometimes much cheaper. John -
Great railings, Danny! John
-
Greg, If you mean PVA (like Selleys Aquadhere), you should be able to loosen the joint with water. John

Again, thanks for the encouragement, fellas! John

Now that looks an interesting project, Chuck. John

Thanks for the encouragement folks - both here and via the 'Like' button. The hull will be fully planked. If I were going to leave a section open to view then I'd complete all internal details. I just like building by this method! John

Looking good, Russ. Nice to see her still progressing. John

A bit of extra time at the museum of late has allowed me to get ahead with the Pritt. The counter rim frame is now roughed in and will stay like this until after hull planking, at which time I'll finish fairing it in properly. I've also made a start on the deck beams. Once these are completed I can start to think about planking the hull. John

SS Vinal Haven by TBlack - FINISHED

First class, Tom! Great to see her in her final home. John -
She's really coming together, Popeye! John
-
Now that looks very 'swish', Michael! John

Thanks, all! Mobbsie - If you have a decent size Privet then how about turning it into lovely timber for your own next build? Mark - I haven't seen Jack's log. The only place I can find it is in the National Library, but it sounds interesting. Bob - As I mentioned, I suspect that the 'counter rim frame' is a piece of pearling lugger technology Popeye - Yep, still a knee to be fitted there when the counter frame is finally shaped. John
