    Sorry to hear about your broken fingers, hope you are on the mend. You are on the right track using an electric drill/screwdriver to help shape the yards. Just take your time avoiding putting too much pressure on the yard arm nearest the screwdriver chuck. Once you get the taper close to where you want it, just proceed by hand using sandpaper.

    Andrew, Sorry to hear about your health, hope you are on the mend. Please take care of yourself. I am sure the warmer weather is just around the corner, and you will be back in your shipyard soon. 😁

    Really taking shape now, Robin. We have all been there with snapped drill bits. It’s fun digging them out 😡 The fine bits cannot take a lot of lateral pressure. Apparently HSS bits are stronger than the tungsten carbide ones, although the former are more expensive. You should be able to source suitably sized walnut dowel to replace the stock you used on the pumps.In the UK Cornwall Model Boat stocks various sizes. I am sure you will find somewhere closer to home.

    Glenn, Ouch!! Paul’s tubing idea made me think that you could “fish” the mast and call it a battle damage repair!
  28. Craigie65
    That is a serious piece of kit!

    Excellent job on the second planking, nice symmetry to your work.
  30. Craigie65
    Gorgeous!
  31. Craigie65
    Ah historical accuracy, it’s a bit of a martinet!

    Andrew, Learning a lot from your build. Those really are mighty tight curves, hope you have enough spare planks to complete. Would be a shame to hide the excellent job you have done with the planking under a coat of paint.
  33. Craigie65
    Thanks Andrew, Anything that makes planking easier is an asset! I am a bit of a sucker for tools, sometime I forget it is the model that is more important. If you are anything like me you will have a drawer (or 2) of little/unused tools.

    Looking good Andrew. Interested in your use of the proportional dividers. How well do the proportional dividers handle the curve of the hull? Or can you only use them on relatively flat areas?
  35. Craigie65
    Hi Robin, Sorry I have not looked in for a while, life eh? You are making great progress, you should find the rest of the build straight forward. I am sure you will have learned a lot from persevering with this build. Looking forward to the next update?
  36. Craigie65
    Andrew, What a good job you have done on the first planking, as Ronald has pointed out those are pretty tight curves! Will you use CA for the second planking?
