Yesterday I installed the Transom and started fairing. Today, I finished fairing the Frames to get it ready for planking, I then soaked 1/4" X 1/16" X 24" strips in alcohol . After the fairing was complete, I then was able to get 4 rows of planking installed . Here are the results

Today I started by squaring up the frames in the Cockpit section. I then decided to cut in 2 Cockpit Floor Stringers, ( 3/ 32 " square stock )I figured I would square and plumb this section of the boat first. ( this would be from stations 6'- 0" to 13' - 6" ) after that section was glued , I then installed the rest of the frames working from the cockpit to the Bow. By working this way has kept the Boat square and plumb ( I am very pleased ) Next will be to install the rib bands the Transom and fair the frames. Here are the results

Well it happened, I found the box containing the Buzzards Bay , I was begining to think that I would never see the box again . I unpacked all the frames and the keel and dry fit all the frames, There are 3 frames that I will replace with new ones and square everything up and start building. Here are the results

This afternoon I finished cutting all the frames , I re lofted the Transom and changed it out so that it will line up better with the Cockpit Coaming. To this Point nothing has been glued, and the new Transom is being held on with masking tape, I still have to true up all the frames and finish sanding the new frames. Here are the results

Last Night I was able to squeeze in a few hours , So I finished cutting the frames that I had laid out, ( I cut out the frames that will give me a basic shape first) I only have to make 5 more frames . Nothing has been glued together and I used a piece of masking tape to hold the Transom on (its crude but hey it works ) To this point everything has gone smoothly. Here are the results

I Started by Taking 1/8" X 4" Basswood and lofting the lines (profile ) drawing on it. And I am using 3/32" X 4" for the frames and started lofting them out as well , I did get a few frames cut ( I see myself going thru alot of #11 Blades) Here are the results

This morning I woke up and Deciced that I would start the Buzzards Bay 14 ftr . I was originaly planning on building Capt Nates 12 1/2 , However I cannot find the plans for it (the last time I saw them was when I was planning on a full size build) anyway, I do have the plans for the Buzzards Bay 14 ftr. wich was designed by Francis Herreshoff (son of Nathanael Herreshoff) a slightly larger version of the 12 1/2. (12 1/2 is the water line length) The Buzzards Bay has a 14 foot Waterline. I still plan on building the 12 1/2 in the future. Here is what I have so far

Today I started by Building a cradle , while I pre soaked the material to finish the planking. Once the cradle was built I finished up the planking, athen I finished rough Fairing the hull. next it will need to be sanded with 600 grit, to get it ready for epoxy . I am very pleased with this build as it has been a challenge. Here are the results

Today, I finished the Cockpit floor , first I cut out Birch ply for the bench supports and stained them cherry . Next was to cut out the Deck hatches on the fish well deck . then I cut out more birch strips for the deck . I installed the bench supports and installed the birch strips on the fish well deck .I sanded the Cabin top to get it ready for a second coat . I like how this has turned out Here are the results

On Keel # 4 Today, I started by shaping the Mast and fitting it. I decided to add a square piece of Birch Ply as a Mast step. I then stained the Birch on the Cockpit face , Cabin entry and the companion way rails a Cherry . On the Cockpit floor I made a new Hatch cover ( I didnt like the first one ) Laid out the Deck for the cut outs ( I will do the Fish well deck the same as the Cockpit floor ) Then Painted the Cabin top a gloss white. Here are the results

Thanks Pete, The steam box has been a big help. I have a fair amount of experience with it now and I am working on a redesign. The steam generator works great but the box could use a better condensation drain, vent and door. My barbecue gloves are perfect for avoiding burned hands. Thanks for looking in.
