Jeff,

I think they look fine.  And by the way, it only matters if they look good to you! :)

Hmm... constructive criticism.. I see skills!!!  The lids look great and are mounted shipshape and in Bristol fashion.  Keep up the good works.

Jeff,

Those head timbers came out nice.  I found that part a bit difficult, especially the curved pieces attached to the bow.

Tom I found them to be probably the most time consuming and stressful part of this build Get them off sync and it looks like crud I do have to say they aren't as pretty as yours turned out but I am very happy and glad they are done

Ok bowsprit is finished Tried to add a little extra rope work that that the plans didn't show but picked up from other build logs Not installing it or masts till probably late January or February due to we will be moving back to Texas I figured the ship would have a hard time making the long trip so everything mast related will be done off ship

Looking good, Jeff.   That's a good idea in holding on stepping the masts.  I hope your move goes well..

Ok guys now this part of the build I have really enjoyed The mizzenmast is completed and ready for installation the hardest part I found was tapering the mast and getting them to match the pattern Of course as everyone knows the blocks that are supplied are of poor shape and quality so I did have to reshape them into oval type shape but overall making the mast was fairly straightforward

Hey guys and gals Ran out of my single hole blocks I've ordered them but waiting for them to come in So I took advice from a couple of chaps on another string and decided to change my mast woolings I gues they are called the brass rings on the masts and bowsprit to rope to make it a little more traditional looking So here is the out come
