Elia Posted June 13, 2017 Share #125 Posted June 13, 2017 Russ, I'm joining the audience a little late! You've got an attractive and unique topic here, and you've got a very well planned and executed build under way. The hull (bulkhead) framing looked true and aligned; the stanchions (both plan and execution) look smart, and the hull planking is coming along very well. I'll be sure to keep up. Elia PS I'm also glad to see your injury has apparently passed and you're back in the model shop! popeye the sailor, Jack12477, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Elia Rose Valley, PA Arethusa: 1907 Gloucester Knockabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share #126 Posted June 13, 2017 Elia: Thanks for dropping in. I appreciate your kind words very much. As always, I am learning new things each time I build. Several lessons picked up so far on this build will be forwarded to the next build. The thumb injury has healed and the thumb is functional. There will always be some pain I reckon, but it seems to be less as time goes along.

russ Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share #131 Posted June 14, 2017 This is tonight's work. I began the lower belt on the starboard side. The garboard strake is complete and I have worked in the forward planks of the next strakes above. There is a good deal of twist in these forward planks in the lower belt. Like the rest of the planking, they are spiled and tapered and then soaked in hot water. I clamp them in place wet and when they dry, I can glue them in place with very little clamping needed.

russ Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share #144 Posted June 21, 2017 A rainy day and some progress. The lower belt is complete on both sides. No sanding yet on the port side.
