  1. WOW!!!!!!!! That is some very nice detail for the captain's cabin. The open chest with the items inside is a very nice touch. Great Job!!
  2. Ron This is something that I had completely forgotten about considering. Really glad you have brought up the subject. Thanks for starting the post. As you have said it is up to the builder to decide what pattern they will use since there is "no set pattern" but trying to stay withing what was the norm for the period would be nice.
  3. Bob....those are some very nice joint... joints so tight it looks like one solid piece and you just milled some slots in it....
  4. Thanks for posting...good information.. Myself...I have always used the floor pasted wax (johnston brand)....has seemed to be working well for me... I was told...don't remember who...long time ago to be carefull of what type wax you use...can transfer from your tools (saws...) to the wood and interfier with a finish you might use...
  5. Glad to hear everyone is feeling better........... NIce looking square...will be real handy on your build...
  6. Checked out the steam generator at woodcraft...very nice.... You are going to have a very nice set up when done Looking forward to you posting your results...
  7. Looks like it will be a nice set up. What will be your source for steam?
  8. Been quietly following along on your thread. The restart seems to be well worth it. Looking good.
  9. As you said, this is your first build...considering that....I think it looks pretty good.......a few gaps here and there but it all looks fairly straight and in line from the photos. Hope that I can do as good when the time comes. Next deck will be better from your experience with this one... One more thing........Don't know if I would have went with the green for the entire bottom half...... Great Job

  11. Looking good on the deadwood..... First attempt was not a failure.....it was a learning experience.....
