  1. Your cutter is starting to grow, Chuck. Thanks for the photos of the Roger's Collection model - beautiful. perhaps the aftermost shroud is served because the mainsail could rub against it when she was running before a wind? John
  2. This will be the last update for a while as we're off on holiday next week. I'm continuing to fit deck beams in the Pritt. I had hoped to get more done yesterday, but as it's school holidays here the museum was pretty crowded with lots of people stopping to see what I was doing and to ask questions. It's a little hard to see what's been happening in the photos as all the wood is the same colour, but I think these two show best what the current state of play is. John
  3. As I said, Mario - up to your usual standard! What's next? John
  4. Very nice indeed, Mario - up to your usual standard. John
  5. It's a while since I've dropped in, Grant, but I must say those boats look absolutely first class. Johnb
  6. 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.

  7. Yes, what do de dowels do? No doubt you have a cunning plan up your sleeve! John
  8. Greg, if you're looking for surgical tools, try a veterinarian site instead of searching 'surgical'. They're sometimes much cheaper. John
  9. Greg, If you mean PVA (like Selleys Aquadhere), you should be able to loosen the joint with water. John
