    Hi Again TLS .. Welcome back and I hope the Wee Hollier went well.. Great start as Edward (above) says.. If you are worried about getting the right amount of beveling/sanding on the Bulkheads, lay a test strip of planking along them and you should see where it meets the individual bulkheads (probably only hits them at the corners near the bow) you can then judge how much to bevel to let the test plank sit flush/or more naturally from Bulkhead to Bulkhead, re-test as you go along (moving the test plank down the bulkheads towards the keel) You are probably already doing this, so forgive me for mentioning it 🙃 All The Best Mate Eamonn

    Coming along nicely ... Loving the deck colour btw.. (Don't forget the Rudder ☺️ wee bit of maneuvering to install it and u may need to turn the boat upside down, so watch those deck fittings etc) All The Best Eamonn PS I should be returning to my own build soon enough, work on my attic conversion is going nicely !

    Hi Neil .. I have only just spotted this Build Log .. Nice start BTW .. Just worry about getting a good 'First Layer' of planking done, give it a good sanding (with fillers in any gaps if needed) then you can really get to grips with the Outer Layer, and if you are fully painting the entire hull (unlike mine where 'Bare' timber is showing topside) you need not be too pedantic on how it looks, as long as it is smooth and even that is All the Best Eamonn

    Another Newsflash Folks .. I may be back up and running in the coming Months (Still no workroom yet BUT.. but looks like it may be happening soon enough) My attic conversion (This will be my workroom space/office) is hopefully shortly to commence, we had a few things to get sorted out first .. Getting Married being one of them 😀☺️ .. We can't start on the garden till it's done (those following along in this Slooooo-breath-oow Ballahoo saga may remember that I have pretty much completely modernized the House, but still had a few bits-n-bobs to do..

    Hi J .. Little late to the game here but I've often felt we as builders do tend to slightly 'over scale' items .. but in this case the larger does indeed look like a better fit .. Boat looks superb too Mate ... Eamonn

    News Flash ...... Oooh the excitement I hear you say .. 😃 I recently did some research re anchor scale for vessels of the Ballahoo size with respect to the kit provided one (I always felt there was something off about it) .. the Shank and Arms are pretty near perfect but the Stock (Provided) is indeed over scale and will need to be sanded back fairly heavily or re-fashioned..

    All Righty Then .. Photo Time ... This is Ballahoo as she currently stands... Everything in the photo is secured in its final position, masts are removed as they were only dry fitted .

    Hey There D .. How did I miss this one ! .. Love following your small craft builds, and this one is lining up to be another beauty .. Oh and am digging all the 'Charts n' Graphs' All The Very Best Eamonn BTW Can't wait to see what you do with the Emma C. that you have on your shelf ..

    Hi All .. Sorry about the delay in getting back to 'The Ballier' ..Alas she is still in storage as I don't have anywhere to set up as yet , I plan to take her out of storage shortly and see if I cant find some solution that won't get tooo much in the way (I really don't want to have to totally clear the work area up every time I finish, then set it all back up again shortly after, would much rather set up and be able to leave it 'as is' till next time if you follow) Have to say though .. I have the 'Buzz' back and can't wait to kick off again .. All The Very Best Folks Eamonn @ Unfeasibly Slow Ship Yards Inc. Edited later for Grammar lol
