Kind regards,

Dan.

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.

    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.

Thank you!
I do not like to look for easy ways but it makes it easier to plank the hull.

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

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.

It's just black putty - the color of Ebony!
I've been showing this in detail since 8 minutes ...

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

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!

I bet a lot of us do that :)

 

I don't speak Spanish but I've had a few on with a Spanish narrator in the background - I forget his name but he has a good voice.  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.
