Charter33 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share #33 Posted February 13, 2018 Thank you for your generous comments, Christian. I apologize for not being in a position to reply sooner which brings me to the main reason for this particular up date. There has been little progress recently, initially due to work pressures (the end of a school term is a busy time!) and then at the start of the new year I finally was given a date for a follow up medical procedure that had been on the cards since August last year. I have subsequently been off work, returning home after a month in the very capable hand of the NHS yesterday. Access to this site was limited to very variable connectivity with my phone, but being able to follow the work of others here certainly helped the time to pass. I have, therefore, had to put this build on temporary hold . I will get back to it, I promise. It's a real challenge, and a steep learning curve, but so much fun. When I am up to it I intend to drop into work and while there I'm planning to pick up the cherry pieces that I've prepared and print off some frame drawings so that I can at least make some progress back home with my more limited equipment. In the mean time I will be focusing on my HMS Victory build and, for a bit of a technical challenge, continue working on my design for a rope walk. The secret is to stay positive and as busy as possible. Onwards and upwards ...... Cheers, Graham. paulsutcliffe, mtaylor and harvey1847 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charter33 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share #35 Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks for that Guy, but still a long way to go! I'm hoping to get back to work next month and when time permits I'll be tackling those hawse timbers. I have, however, made progress with cutting out the components for the many frames since my last post. I've devoted a bit of time designing and fabricating parts for a rope walk which is close to completion, as much for the mental stimulation as any other reason, while I recover strength and fitness. I'll post details on an appropriate topic thread once I've finished and trialed it, assuming it works!

Charter33 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share #37 Posted June 26, 2018 Hi, Finally managed to get the all clear to get back to the workshop after five months of convalescence. My Triton build is now in the process of being resurrected - just breaking myself in with some more of the more straight forward frames from mid-ship while I try to get my head around the convolutions and challenges of the hawse and bollard components ..........
