good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes day 21 1st planking port side complete i needed to fair the parts 29 on the stern post, so i then continued with a rough grit sanding pad and gave the hull a once over, i was real happy with how it turned out, no where ready for the top coat though i am about an hours work from completing the stbd side, will try and finish that tomorrow, but the boi is in for an operation at the vets, so i might be to stressy for that

good evening everyone day 20 1st planking the bow is 1st planked, - absolutely nothing special, but will serve as a good foundation for the 2nd layer, i look forward to many hours of sanding before that happens the stern will be completed in the next day or so
-
good evening everyone Day 18 1st planking as soon as i left the make up of the hull, i have had to start thinking about things, and this has resulted in some redo's, lol no matter how much fairing you do, there is always more anyway the hull is is about 50% done and although bit messy in places, i have a sound basis to work on and yes i am still missing one part number 29 stern post filler, and the one fitted need working on
-
thank you. we look forward to seeing your build soon

everyone is welcome to follow my trials and tribulations of wooden ship building

i use nails all the time and then remove them after the glue has set, the only char removed so far has been for fairing of the hull

good evening everyonr thank you for comments and likes day 16 1st planking port and stbd side templates fitted stern tuck, caused me some aggro fot a couple of hours, so the fixed planks were cut back and the stern was re faired allowing the 3rd plank to twist and turn

Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 14 port side Gun port templates fitted well i never expected to be at this stage after 2 weeks, but here i am, and loving it, and i have not had any issues to criticize the build, or instructions, after the hull fairing i test fitted the gun port templets, no other sanding was required the bottom of fwd template forms where the first run of planking under it goes, so a pencil line is drawn, the rest of the plank aligns along the top of the port sill , at this point the template can be removed first plank 2nd plank the after template fits on the top of the 1st plank and lined up with the top right corner of the last gunport, instructions need to be read to be aware of where the glue is applied, as a section of the framework has to be removed at a later date a templete fits between and the area over the ports is covered, using limewood rough opening of the gun ports when the glue has dried

ooops on the door way, im sure a couple others things are still needing attention, and when i got back in i found that i had forgotten to put the bracing beams inn thats how strong this build is
-
