S.os, I agree with you about the clock, but at present . . . Mark, thanks for the kind words. Lawrence, I know about one boat at a time. That’s the way I build also. I’m sure the Annie will wait for you. Thanks, Popeye the black paint help to mask the bad places. David B, I agree. It was the lines that grabbed my attention. Now that I’ve said all that, I need to mess things up. I just realized that I forgot the hawseholes. There is extra wood above them and the drawings say they are bronze hawseholes. Now let’s see, first I'll have to . . . Bob

Your comment about a kit becoming the builders kit and not the manufactures’ was right on. Oh ya, besides that, you done good. Bob

Beautiful wook, and you're right, can't have much of a fire in that stove. Bob

But right now it's the fun of making plywood. Bob

Russ, Mauro, Michael, Someday I will have to take painting classes to come up to what people see. Thanks all. Yes the deck is next. Bob

Finally it’s painted. Filler, sand, filler, sand and sand and sand, then paint, mask and more paint . . . finally. Well here it is. Oh, yes. I still need to add that gold stripe. Bob

Thanks Nils, The Lettie was the last of the Fredonia model schooners out of Gloucester. Thanks to you showing us how to build fine models, I hope to dress her well. Bob

Nice. I would probably have drawn the ovals closer together and missed out on such a find and all the fun. Bob
-
Beautiful! I can almost see her in a full dress of sails. Nice job. Bob
-
Nice work on those chain plates. Bob
-
What a nice boat. I hope the skipper can keep her off the rocks. Bob

You're thinking way outside the box now. All I can do is sit back and watch your ideas come together. Bob

The small boats are nice. If you get much smaller you can put them in a bottle. The double cloths pin clamp is great, thanks. Bob

Glad you didn't freeze without the oil heat. Must have been hard building the boat with gloves on. She's looking good. Bob

Great work. Will the captains boat have a build log of it's own? Bob

A clamp for holding rope for splicing
captainbob replied to michael mott's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Nice eye splice with just the right number of tucks. And it stretched nicely over the thimble. Well done. I've done this type of work on full sized rope and know what it takes, you make it look so easy. Bob -
I agree. Most of the boats I build need to be wood. But there are times for brass, and metal ships need brass. My HOGA would have been much better in brass. Bob

Looks good. I'm sure going to use the Dremel collet idea. Thanks. Bob -
What a lovely boat. Looks like a fine sailer. Bob

As always your work is beautiful. One day I hope to build in brass like that. Bob
