A very nice job on the dory, Shepherd! Well done.

Arr, mate; she be carrying silver bullion! That is a fun item to include, Alan.

Be aware of the limited life of liver of sulphur. To be effective, it must be fresh.

Sweet! Looks almost better than the full sized original! Well done, JD.

The holes through the gudgeons should be aligned with the aft edge of the stern post as well. As mentioned, there should be a minimum gap between rudder and post. 

To illustrate Allan's point:

That's the way to do it without torturing either the plank or yourself.

Bulkhead 4 needs to meet at the centerline. Hopefully it worked out!

Why not Jupiter on both the stem and the stern? Generally, only one is in view at any one time.

Also, not everyone was literate!

Very, very impressive work! Congratulations on completing her.

Ah! So, 'triste' in context means 'serious', not 'sad'! Thank you.

The photos are from the prototype, which was later modified. All should be OK! (I think that you are the first person to notice this.)

My own method for dealing with ratlines so that shrouds do not 'hourglass' is to tie every fifth ratline first, then every third one and finally all the remaining ones. By not progressively working every one up in sequence, this has always worked well for me.

I wonder why Jupiter's figure was described as having un visage triste (a sad face)? Jupiter was god of thunder and lightning - very appropriate for a warship. Also, the mythical salamander was reputed to breathe fire (think dragon). All very martial!

Now, that's attention to detail!

Lovely sense of atmosphere; I can almost smell it!

Well, that was a good save!

Oh, yes, indeed. Things can sure come back to bite one later if one is not very careful!

Apart from the slight splintering, that fixed block looks pretty good, Alan. What wood are you using for these?

Lovely looking! Nice progress on fitting all those finicky joints.

Welcome aboard, James!

Beams located less than 0.5mm too high? I'm disappointed in you, Mark! Seriously, that is pretty impressive.

Ouch! Quite the object lesson.

Those scuppers turned out really nicely! Well done.

Again, congratulations for putting the more unusual in front of your public, Chris. It's amazing the variety of smaller vessels that plans are available for from that period.
