  1. I really like the balsa idea, I’m going to borrow that from you on my next project. Getting those frames sanded evenly from that angle was a pain!
  2. Your Sphinx is looking really nice Mark! It’s fun watching all these wonderful Sphinx builds come together.
  3. Thanks Ben, great minds think alike! I couldn’t resist, it was such a good deal.
  4. So I built my rigging jig today, I’m going to assemble all the tackle and metal parts in this jig first and then when everything is dry and stable I’ll carefully transfer one gun and tackle at a time over to Winnie. I think the process won’t be too bad once I get rolling.
  5. 😬 I’m getting nervous just looking at that. If my little guy gets anywhere near my Winnie, she’s toast!
  6. She will be here for a few more months then back to sea again... for real. I think my Winnie has more sea miles under her keel than the real one did lol! Thanks Matt, it’s reassuring to know others will be participating in the party. I’m Getting started today... I’m going to make a gun rigging jig maybe I’ll have one complete within a week🤞
  7. Can’t say She gave me any good looks when this thing rolled up in the house. Oh well. Here we go, chapter 6!
  8. Hang in there Mark, take care of those eyes and get back to building when you can.
  9. Thanks guys. haha yes Matt! I need someone to come by and help me establish a workbench that I can then be chained to. I do have a mitre saw handy currently, I may just build one quickly.
  10. Alright guys, today I plucked my Winnie away from the little resort vacation storage she’s been on and brought her home. Next task is setting up a work space. I see work starting soon! Keep me honest!
  11. This is such a great project! It’s been so rewarding every step of the way, it just gets better as you go.
