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

-
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
-
thank you, that's a real compliment
-
brilliant, whats this snowplough project?
-
lovely work
-
good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes day 204-7 apologies for not interacting with the forum much recently, lots going on in the background, nothing at all bad, just busy before you all laugh at me about my way of rigging this build, i vowed i would start at the front and work aft, most lines are still just temp and still to be fixed into position, today the foemast mast yard will be mad up, then hopefully get the ratlines done it might all just bite me on the bum the line between the fore and main is a temp backstay as non are fitted
