Harley,
Chuck S is always correct he is in wonderful San Diego I am in the ugly Desert! Lol.
in my old lost builds the topic of to blacken or not to blacken connons always ended with the words "bright and shiny natural brass connons only exist on models only
and not real ships" and in order to be historically correct that gave me the will powered to blacken.
however I have found that (depending on the build) to me there is nothing more fancy then a bright and shiny properly riged connon.
your the Captain and your in control.

Doug,
Thank you for answering my request with those perfectly taken pictures as well as the information of the tool.
upon close examination I couldn't help my imagination from running wild with it's multipurpose It's a must have.
now looking at my old sorry looking 3rd hand which I tossed out the window (should have opened the window first! LOL)
the Admiral decided for the sake of safety to simply order for me a new 3rd hand just like yours, (amazing what a none needed fake bandaid can do after cleaning up broken glass Lol)
looking forward to this very nice build

Doug,
very nice work your doing I am truly enjoying this build, thank you for sharing.
quick question in the above picture there is a type of third hand holder tool that looks different from the others I always see
Perhaps you might find the time for a extra picture(s) of that tool ? It would be appreciated

Danny,
Thank you for that Awsome Tip on turning the plank over, I have always been to proud to admit
I almost always slip and destroy my plank!. Especially when someone is watching me plank,
now all I have to do is flip my plank and magic! It's gone. However I well not admit I slipped (lol)

Sal,
looking good, However I have a question? Regarding The fairing of the #2 fillers
should the bulkheads and your bolsa fillers be tapered to the same taper of the #2 fillers
(in the above pictures the bottom of the bulkheads look long perhaps it's the camera or should the bottom of the bulkheads be to the same taper of the #2 parts?)

Tools I can't live without
1 digital calipers,
2 long arm adjustable magnifying lamp,
3 stand for holding plans
the calipers I use are not expensive ones as used for fine machining so I don't have to worry about dropping them and losing there fine calibration so I just use a simple Harbor Fright brand
the magnifying lamp I use has a long adjustable spring loaded arm (4 feet long) with a bright neon circular light that has a 6 x magnifying glass in the center (5") simply clamps to work bench.
the stand I use for holding the planes and notes is a aluminum I . V stand (as the ones used in hospitals) with the 3 rolling wheels, modified with simple wood dowels that adjust to size with simple small spring loaded clamps.
