captainbob Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share #92 Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Lawrence, I haven’t done much but I’ll show you where I am now. On boat number one I added the window plastic and mounted the clearstory windows. I added the prop and rudder, and the steering chain. All that’s left on number one is the steering station and a few chocks and cleats. On number two I painted the hull white and added the flooring. On the bench in the foreground you can see the side windows for number two and the yellow card stock is the template for the front of the cabin. That’s it for now.

captainbob Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share #101 Posted February 5, 2017 Michael, some are only 25' (7.6m) about the size of your Maria sloop. But knowing you I don't have to tempt you, you can do that well enough on your own. And you do have a nice lake to put her on. I'm sorry. don't tempt,... don't tempt. Welcome aboard, Ron, hope you enjoy the rest of the show. Lawrence, yes the scroll set the first one off now I need to figure what to do with number two.

captainbob Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share #113 Posted February 12, 2017 Thank you all for your kind words and likes. I’m kind of taken aback. Usually I build a specific boat from plans and pictures. These two are quite different in that I do not have a specific boat in mind. The hulls are pretty much standard, a little longer, a little narrower. But hulls are hulls. It’s the cabin where the creativity comes in. In every picture I saw the cabin was different. So I had to decide, ‘how many windows do I put in’, ‘are the doors centered or to the side’, ‘do I plank the inside or leave the ribs showing’. And then it’s on to the building. Each piece of wood is held in place and marked. Do I want it this long or should I make it shorter? As someone said in another thread, “The eye knows what is right”. And according to you all, my eye must be fine. I have to admit I am enjoying these builds. And I want to thank you again for the encouraging words that keep this old man going.
