David Rice Posted August 14, 2017 Author #181 Posted August 14, 2017 My putty "Cheater Paste" was old and did not work well. I have since bought some new. I was going to paint the gun port area. I am not happy with any of the colors I have been looking at. Looking at the traditional Golden Oak Stain again. Laid a few planks, but haven't spent too much time at it.

David Rice Posted August 14, 2017 Author #182 Posted August 14, 2017 I finally have one side planked and enclosed. Not the best job, but good enough for paint and copper sheathing.

BenD Posted August 14, 2017 #183 Posted August 14, 2017 It looks good to me. Not worth going all out just to cover it up later with copper plates/tape.

David Rice Posted August 16, 2017 Author #184 Posted August 16, 2017 The hull has been planked, now it's time to sand. I wonder if I could "subcontract" this part out? Yes, I hurt my finger. I always seem to end up giving blood for the cause.......

David Rice Posted October 30, 2017 Author #185 Posted October 30, 2017 Now that winter is approaching I have more time for building. I finished the Top Rails, and did some painting. I will soon start the deck work. I haven't made any Tree Nails yet. I am still unsure which way I will go.
