Vtwoods1027 Posted May 12, 2015 #1 Posted May 12, 2015 Just started my first square rigger kit. Very excited about the information on this site. Thanks ahead for all the advice. Here is the frame. Painted white for light and added a stained lower deck. More to post tomorrow after I get working on the captains quarters, Bobstrake and mrangus 2
Vtwoods1027 Posted May 28, 2015 Author #2 Posted May 28, 2015 Been a little delayed, but very excited that I have gotten my little work shop mostly completed. Great things to come... but not in a very fast manner! Thanks all! More tomorrow. Bobstrake and Ryland Craze 2
Bobstrake Posted May 28, 2015 #3 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice looking space, well lit and with a good surface area. I see some Skipjack action, as well. Looking forward to next post.

Vtwoods1027 Posted June 14, 2015 Author #4 Posted June 14, 2015 I took the deck and made a false deck mold.... added on top 3/32" by 1/16" planks... doing a four offset butt setting. It's getting there... I will mix up flat white paint and thinner to simulate a newly holystoned deck. Sorry about the delay in updates. My wife and I are expecting our first child (together) in a few weeks and she has a large "honey do" list. mrangus 1
Bobstrake Posted June 15, 2015 #5 Posted June 15, 2015 It's great to see your progress. Congratulations on your your first child. I imagine your wife is needing lots of tender loving care these days. You will get to see how well you can do on just a few hours sleep when your little miracle arrives. Take it from me, the baby years go by much too quickly. Savor them, and take way too many pictures.
