Well done Jay!

I missed a lot it seems over the last few weeks. Some interesting jigs you shared. I'll have to try some of them should I ever get to start a second build.

Did I miss your announcement on your next build?

Thanks Sam, na you haven't missed it, I'm hemming and haaing over what to do...currently leaning towards a scratch build from some plans.  The current project that's consuming my time is cleaning and reorganizing the shop, thought it might be time when I could only get 3 foot in the door!!😋

 

No fear once I decide I'll start a log for sure

I do owe you a thank you..........your glue bottles intrigued me.   for all this time,  I've worked from the Elmer's glue bottles.  by the time I get to the end of the big bottle,  the nozzle won't adjust anymore because of wear and tear.   a browse through Amazon,  and I found an eight pack of those small bottles!  not a bad price either.   this afternoon,  we were out and happened into the local Staples,  where I found a gallon of white glue for $13.00.  I'm not sure what office uses that much glue........but it suits my purpose just dandy!   

 

I almost sure I read you mentioning about the bottles.......if not,  then my dementia has hit a new high.  either that,  or I read too many logs     

[jct]

Most welcome...

I am currently building this exact model (my 1st attempt at a model, save for a childhood failure with the Revel Constitution).  You have done a wonderful job! I decided, after adding my standing rigging to the foremast, that the supplied thread is to thick for the model scale. I have since moved to much thinner thread.

Enjoy the process and thx for the kind comments 😀
