thanks Lawrence......it just the beginnings of the mast....I have more to add. I have been disheveled of late.......the mind has been too cluttered to spend time at the table. I do feel better, now that the tree boat looks more in line to what it should look like. I wanted to spend some time here with the trawler, but the process to get me where I wanted to be was a bit longer than anticipated. I have one more day of work....... thanks for the good word...I appreciate it -
thanks Patrick and to all who hit the like button. Friday didn't turn out as I would have liked.......I wanted to add more framework and the pads for the lights. now I am in my work week....two more days to go. the catalyst for this flurry of activity, is upside down on my main table, awaiting the hull sides and bottom panels {they call it planking, but I think they have rocks in their heads}. if anyone remembers the Maine Lobster boat........I really stunk at doing this type of assembly.....and ended up actually planking the hull. more will come soon

....I knew they were push pins! brilliantly done! of course.......if a plan was used, there would be no freedom. wonderful work and very resourceful. looking forward in seeing your next build

hull's look'in great Jerry.........super job on the cap rails! great that your following a practicum.......but what good is it if you can't cheat a little? just kidding......they are a wealth of information. but there are time when you have something that may work better...or even a technique that would make the task easier. your doing a fantastic job...........in good 'ole Jerry fashion!

sorry to hear you've not felt up to snuff..........what you've done so far under the circumstances, is amazing. to what others have suggested to leave be, you've gone the extra mile to make them right....your awesome! I hope there is improvement in your future our youngest just left the nest..........funny, I was always the one who relied on 'tough love'. I'll admit..........I miss the little scrapper while it does leave one with an empty feeling, we all know that they need to pave their own roads keep that upper lip stiff my friend!

what! why the party's just begun! ..........and your finished how did you make the paddle wheel? the stacks? ........I dunno........doesn't seem like a complete build log to me. of course I'm fool'in around, but if you could elaborate on these points......I think folks here would love to read it it's an amazing model keith....no doubt about it. from the push pin railings {is that what those are?}, to the futuristic design......you've definitely built a winner beautiful job my friend!

hello all.........I finally found some time at the table. actually, it was a bit of a shake - up.........I wanted to bring the trawler back to the table, to work on the mast........but the tree boat was just going on.......and on.......and on. other projects on the home front began to creep in, and soon, I found myself in limbo a couple 'o weeks 'o that though, an' it was all I kin stand!........so, I pulled out my savior.....the Midwest 'Chesapeake Bay Flattie' kit I've had stashed in my closet! I'd bring it out and tinker with it from time to time.........never putting cement to it, but piecing things together and figuring out how to best save the parts panels, so I can reuse them {you know how I roll }. so.......while I'm toying with it, I've done some work to the mast I was not convinced I wanted to do a top for the first step, but I changed my mind........it will have one. I used the arms for the boom rigging, as support braces. with the mast in place on the Syborn, I no longer have to wonder which side of the mast, is the front. a front piece was cemented on to cap it off. there is more that will be added, but it's a good start. in my messing around with her again........I'm thinking the gallows are out of scale. I may make some new ones

.......just catching up my friend. I can't come up with a word to describe.........you have gone over the top with her......she is just so awesomely fantabulous! ....stupid spell check...........there is no word like that......I just created it so many multi layers of detail........it hard to fine the central focal point! great job Patrick! oh BTW........cool article {short but sweet}........funny thing....I'm into the study of Lepidoptera. in my younger days, I've run a couple of species through their life cycle.......very interesting to watch
