good evening everyone sorry for not doing my pointless daily updates, quite a lot going on in my life at present, one of them being the new pup anyway Indy day 252-16 completed redo of main lower ratline yep i completely ignored @chris watton instructions, to use natural hemp provided thread, and stain black, yet again i did it my way, ordered black in various sizes, which arrived and i used the wrong ones, however they look ok ish, i might replace one or two of the saggy ones, but in the right lighting you cannot see them

good morning everyone unfortunately Richard has passed away, he was a lovely man, and we had a great time when i had the opportunity to meet him and his wife
-

good morning everyone boat builds has come to a bit of a stop, here is the reason why Apollo aged 8 weeks 3 days 00220.MTS or from a hosting site https://i.imgur.com/RcrqXjw.mp4

no boating today, we have a new English Show Cocker Spaniel puppy his name is Apollo (kennel name Albertean Apollo) and was 8 weeks old today, i wont fill my log up with Doggie Photos but wish i could the Older Boi you may know as Dobbie aged 8, i think they will be very good friends, but he is avoiding the little boi like the plague when awake
-
thank you as for the boat, i hope to do better on the next one,
-
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 215-8 18ft cutter taking a break from rigging i have a fear of ships boats to overcome, i have never successfully built one, so i started with the smallest of the Indys boat set the 18ft cutter
-
my fav bit, i hate building the ships boats up, and painting, guess what, im painting the ships boats at present, well one of the then 18ft cutter
-
good evening everyone thank you for all comments and likes day 213 -8 forestay snaking - possible subject to a redo having completed both sides of the lower forestay shrouds and rats i moved forward to put the forestay and preventer snaking in, having now done them twice now they still dont look right, i have adequate tightness on the stays and the snaking thread is not pulling them in, but at a distance they look like they are being pulled together
-
very clean and tidy, but then i have never seen any of your work that wasn't
-
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 209- Port side fore mast lower ratlines im finally happy with something
-
that looks a brilliant base for ist planking
-
it will go in the garage with all the other builds, no one will ever see it when complete
-
yes it is, as i have no back stays in place
-
good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes days 207-7 fore mast yard i am aware i am doing this all the wrong way around, and that certain things need to be done first, however i wanted to know to myself that i was still able to do certain tasks, having now proved those tasks i can go to the conventional way of rigging my build, i will still continue to work forward to aft, but concentrate on getting the Ratlines done before the yards fore yard made made slings being fitted Jeers
-
now that is very nice indeed
