MrBlueJacket Posted March 31, 2015 Share #1921 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Nic, welcome aboard. I'm assuming from your message that you are Bluejacket? I will PM you in the next few days to discuss something for my website on the Morgan. I'm short time today, so don't have much time to discuss anything. Have you been to my websites? Yes, I am BlueJacket Shipcrafters. I have not been to your website, but will do so. Nic GLakie, texxn5 and popeye the sailor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texxn5 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share #1925 Posted April 1, 2015 Another couple of hours in the yard - threatening rain today, so todays progress is I hung the first Spar - the Mizzen Crossjack, with the lifts and braces.

texxn5 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share #1927 Posted April 8, 2015 Off and on this week I've been working on the Mizzen Mast, Crossjack, and Main lower yard and rigging. Details are on my website, and the following photos show a little progress. Had to use my Proxxon DB 250 Lathe and the 4-jaw chuck to turn the yard, then added all the goodies to the yard prior to paintting and mounting the yard. popeye2sea, Piet, popeye the sailor and 5 others 8 Quote John Current Current Builds: US Brig Niagara on my website FINISHED BUILD LOGS: New Bedford Whaleboat - page on my Morgan Website: http://www.charleswmorganmodel.com/whaleboat-build-log-by-john-fleming.html C.W.

texxn5 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share #1934 Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks George, Piet and Mike for the likes and comments - much appreciated. Yeah, I'm pleased at the way she's shaping up now. The pace has slowed down now since I'm doing things other that ship building, but I like what I've got done in between. I'll keep trying to update as things change. I'm going to try to get some work done on the Main Lower Topsail yard today and over the next few days. Yeah, Mike, I was hoping you'd be starting your Morgan next so I would have someone to bounce things off of, but later I guess.

texxn5 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share #1935 Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Lester, I'm glad you've been keeping up. I was hoping to meet up to your standards on the yards - the pictures sure help. Hardest thing is following the lines on the plans to figure out the 3 dimensional aspect of how and where the lines run. Also, there are inconsistencies with the nomenclature on the plans....but I guess I'm doing ok with it so far. Thanks again and I'm happy that you are pleased with the appearance.

texxn5 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share #1938 Posted April 21, 2015 Just a little bit here and there. Had a windstorm break a bunch of limbs so had to do some yard work, unfortunately not ship "yard", shaped up the Main Lower Topsail yard, and turned the remaining yards. I will keep working them until we leave in mid May for our RV trip. The yard is not finished and only dry fitted here. Then I'll keep working the "pre-hanging" yards as we're traveling so they will be ready to hang when we return in October. I'm also going to be working on the whaleboats then also that way they can be hung on the ship when we get back. So as I have time until we leave, I'll be posting small updates as I progress. Who knows, I might get the yards hung and finished before we leave in the middle of May...here's hoping.. popeye the sailor, Piet, GLakie and 1 other 4 Quote John Current Current Builds: US Brig Niagara on my website FINISHED BUILD LOGS: New Bedford Whaleboat - page on my Morgan Website: http://www.charleswmorganmodel.com/whaleboat-build-log-by-john-fleming.html C.W.

Yeah Tony, I guess that's what retirement is supposed to be so we're taking advantage of it while we're still young enough to be able to do it. Looks like we'll be going into the middle of the country on our way out west, the Ozarks in Arkansas the Rockies in Colorado, the monuments of Utah, the Grand Canyon, Oregon and northern California again the wedding in September in San Fransisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and then venture back home in October I guess.
