glbarlow Posted March 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2020 Here is my Cutter Cheerful for my first scratch build, it’s not quite done yet. Thanks @Chuck for amazing material. The task ahead is daunting but I have great wood, plans, guidance, and mini-kits to get there. The Alaskan Yellow Cedar is like butter. Build log to follow once I begin.

glbarlow Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) In case you were wondering about guidance for building Cheerful I printed Chuck’s chapters from his website, 120 pages including color photos of step by step instruction. Just sayin’ Edited March 9, 2020 by glbarlow Chuck, MEDDO, EricWilliamMarshall and 4 others 7 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle17 Posted March 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 9, 2020 I too am in the process of building Cheerful in the original boxwood material as offered early on. I haven't posted a build because I have gotten so far behind it is almost anti-climatic to report on it. I will say that after some false starts with planking and the like I am now at the deck level adding detail. So to give you some encouragement it is finally starting to get exciting to work on her as fleeting as that may be. Don't lose heart and as Chuck all too often emphasizes take your time.

glbarlow Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted March 10, 2020 I am quite the opposite, I’m excited about it. Great materials, good instruction, plenty of support. Sorry you got the wrong message from my posts. paulsutcliffe and mtaylor 2 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
