Danstream Posted March 15, 2021 #31 Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks for posting your videos! It happens that I am exactly at the same stage with my build of the Mayflower (I am gluing the first wales) so your last video is extremely useful to me. Let me also prise your skills and great workmanship which make your post a pleasure to follow. Kind regards, Dan.

Guest Posted April 2, 2021 #35 Posted April 2, 2021 Planking the stern castle and nailing the poop deck. I decided to make the deck from Hickory wood - it gives a lighter colour and goes well with walnut. Quote

Chuck Seiler Posted April 28, 2021 #39 Posted April 28, 2021 Another outstanding episode! I love your plank bender. A bit large, but you can use it to heat the shop in the winter. 😁 It is interesting that you install the garboard strake last. Isn't that unusual? I can't argue with your results. Keep up the great work.

Foremast Posted May 9, 2021 #44 Posted May 9, 2021 Very interesting model and great planking. I gave a look to this carrack time ago and I found strange and fascinating how much tall the forecastle was. I’ll follow your work with interest cheers Alex Keith Black 1 Quote If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again! (Stan Laurel)
Chuck Seiler Posted May 29, 2021 #49 Posted May 29, 2021 What did you use to darken the treenails? I thought I caught a glimpse of Minwax wood putty at the end, but was unable to get details.

Oh my!!! How did I miss that? You held up the container for a good 12 or 13 seconds. Pretty clear. Many thanks.

Guest Posted June 11, 2021 #54 Posted June 11, 2021 My figurehead looked like my horse. Apparently I miss him very much - I haven't seen my golden-chestnut partner for almost two years! .. Quote
Tim Holt Posted June 19, 2021 #58 Posted June 19, 2021 I quite enjoyed the rudder video today. I often have one of your videos or some by other builders playing in the background when I’m working on my model. A question. Did you put any glue on the pins into the hull for the pintles and gudgeons? Or on the pintles and gudgeons themselves?

I also often watch YouTube when I work in the workshop))) Yes, it was CA glue. Although the nails sit very tightly without it! Quote

And there is something about the OcCre ENDURANCE video music that is just so calming... Your videos have this great mix of upbeat music with the sound of sanding and tools that's also good. It's like you're in a workshop where others are also working on their models, and you get to hear the sounds and look over now and then to see what they are doing.
