  1. before fitting the door hinges and locks, I applied a coat of shellac to the doors and walls so that the subsequent burnishing of the hinges would not stain the wood underneath.
  2. Some time ago, Druxley pointed out to me that there is an error on his mylar plan: the positions of the scupper outlets are one strake of plank too low! They should come through the black strake, not the upper wale strake. In Volume II the illustration on pages 14-15 is correct. Maybe there is still time to correct....
  3. I saw your first glue smear! So you're human too! Your work is simply fantastic! Great!
  4. Thanks Kevin! I follow your work very closely and try to get inspiration! It's a new type of construction for me, which I had never approached and I try to do the best I can. The hinges are indeed a bit out of scale but functional; the alternative was to make them fake.
  5. I bent two thin sheets of copper on itself around a 0.4mm brass wire; then I ground off the excess to form the joint. Finally, I strung the 0.4 mm wire to form the hinge.
