Kranck Posted September 29, 2020 Share #151 Posted September 29, 2020 Hi Emmet, I'm planking my own Victory out there in the South of France. Following your steps and trying to learn at the same time. Tumbling and falling into the same traps I guess... First planking is half done, I'm curious to hear about 2nd layer planking with walnut wood. How is going for you?

Emmet Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share #152 Posted October 29, 2020 I do not know why the Santa Maria is appearing below but I want to add some recent work I did on Victory. I added some walnut planks. This will be my last post on this site until Spring of 2021. I am now in New Jersey and am working on Santa Maria. I like being warm and will miss building the Victory.

Kranck Posted November 5, 2020 Share #153 Posted November 5, 2020 Nicely done with the first walnot planks. I hope to put the first one on my build in a month or two. Just a question: What do you intend to do with the edges on the keel? Set some walnut there too?

Emmet Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share #154 Posted November 6, 2020 Not sure about the edges. But I am going to copper plate the bottom of the hull so I assume I will put copper on the edges as well as on the rudder below the water line.
