BobSki Posted October 29, 2015 #1 Posted October 29, 2015 Oh my word, what have I done! There was a knock at the door at 7pm this evening and a young lady gave me a large box. In it were several other boxes, the main one being my first ever wood ship kit by Caldercraft, called "Convulsion". Unfortunately Cornwall Model Boats were out of stock of the needle files I'd ordered so these were not present so I'll have to get some elsewhere. However, it would appear I now have to get cracking with making a work board and jig etc. I've got one or two things to do before I start on this but I should be taking my first steps in wooden ship building in the next week or so. Landrotten Highlander, mtaylor, Ryland Craze and 7 others 10

AON Posted October 30, 2015 #4 Posted October 30, 2015 .... well there is always "blind luck" I've experienced that many times and "luck of the Irish" ... but I've been blessed with that from birth so GOOD LUCK to you!

BobSki Posted October 30, 2015 Author #5 Posted October 30, 2015 Well, I'm my wife is of Irish decent, does that count? I've cut a pressed board (B&Q shelf) 50cm x 25cm which I intend to use as my build board/ keel jig. I'll open up a build log in the appropriate place. Canute and mtaylor 2
AON Posted October 30, 2015 #6 Posted October 30, 2015 Luck of the Irish has been known to rub off onto those that frequent our personal space, so... I'd say yes, it definitely counts.
