The Medway is my first build, and an enjoyable one at that. Are you going to install the simulated bolts on the port side as well?
-
We have finished our move to what we hope is our final home. I have set up my work space in the spare bedroom an have got back into the build. The capstan and mast thwarts are not glued in yet. I am going to make the mast first, and can use the thwart as a reference for the diameter.

Very impressive. I hope my skill levels will get to this level some day.

I like the look of your keel clamp. Is it home made, if so could you message me a photo and dimensions. Thanks in advance. Bob

On my wish list.

Good point
-
Thanks everyone for your input. I like Bob Cleeks idea of installing a disc on the Table saw and turning it into a disc sander,two tools in one.
-
Good evening folks. What would you find most beneficial in your workshop and why. A Byrens Disc Sander or Byrens Table saw. My limited budget will only allow one at this time. I do not think I will ever scratch build.

Welcome to the site Joe. I am a novice builder working on my fist ever build. The support and guidance I have received on this site excellent. I would have struggled without this site.

Welcome to the site from a fellow Canadian. Enjoy and use this site

Thanks Mike for the confidence builder. I am going to finish the Syren Medway in the near future, and then I will attempt one of Chris Wattons Vanguard kits. After that I may have the nerve to tackle a project like this. I do know that Chuck provides excellent kits and instructions.

Way above my skill level but enjoyable to watch and learn.
-
Good evening James. What skill level will be given to this kit once it becomes available? When my Syren Medway long boat is finished in the near future I have decided I will do a Vanguard build next. I was leaning towards Lady Eleanor or Zulu, how will this kit compare in difficulty? Thanks. Bob

Now I am confused. In the header for the Medway group project it says 1/48.

the scale of my Medway is 1/48. The kit was purchased from Syren Ship models, designed and manufactured by Chuck Pessaro. A challenging but rewarding plank on frame build.

Welcome to MSW from the north, (Oh Canada). Enjoy the site, there is nothing but help and support here.

Welcome aboard Stephan. Nice to see some fellow Ontarians here.
-
Just started to follow your build. My Medway is nearing completion and I want to do a Vanguard build next, probably the Lady Eleanor. If that works out, HMS Alert will be next in line. Just contemplating purchasing the Serving machine so that I can start the rigging of the Medway. Have a good day. Bob

Thanks Chuck. I am really enjoying this build and learning a lot. It has been a challenge, but a rewarding one.

The rear cockpit is complete and glued in place. The thwarts are all glued in except the one fore the mast. The grapples and sheave for the stem are complete. I started on the knees and realized the front thwart was not installed correctly. It was removed and reinstalled. I am apprehensive on starting the capstain, do not want to mess it up. I ordered some v blocks to hold it when I start to shape it.

I am following your build with great interest. I am building the Medway longboat by Syren, my first ever build. When complete I would like to attempt one of Chris Wattons kits, Lady Eleanor and after that the Fife. I just love the looks of this vessel. Like you, if I build the Fife I would like it to look like a well worked boat.

Thanks for the advise. I purchased a small bottle of lock de-icer (isopropyl) and it worked fine. I have removed the piece and have a new one installed. The very small bottle of lock de-icer worked well due its very small nozzle. It was easy to control. Thanks again

Hello folks. I made a mistake and did not get the block on the transom low enough. What is the best solvent to unstick Titebond? Thanks in advance.
