Here is my Cutter Cheerful for my first scratch build, it’s not quite done yet.

Build log to follow once I begin.

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’

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.

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.

Glenn
