Excellent Cabrapente! I like the different tools you make yourself. I copied you the one to make the rabet and certainly I´ll keep the pic about how to chisel the wood to make the blocks. Good hands and eyes...

 

Best wishes.

 

Daniel.

I swear, that if there were miniature shipyard workers aboard, we would be seeing the real thing.  Wonderful, just wonderful.

I put some squads

Hello cabrapente!

 

I've been admiring your work immensely (and the photography!).

 

"Squads"..... I couldn't find this in nautical terminology. "Squads" can be related to the term square. Might it mean bracket or support?
