Scott Mitchell Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) First row boat made. Very hard to sand down. Found from reading post's to not glue bottom and cut boat in half. So will be removing bottom and cutting the rest in half. And redo harpoon's and lance's to how they should be.

Scott Mitchell Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted October 18, 2021 Made work table look like it's been used. Copper cooling box Replaced lead on anchor with wood and brass bands. Purchase anchor chain from Walmart, liked it more then chains in kit. Made all the doors to open/close Made rat board from flat tooth picks.

Scott Mitchell Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted October 25, 2021 Seen so many tool's that would be handy to have in this build. This is what I'm working with. Tom E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Mitchell Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted October 25, 2021 Working on Yard's, Gaff and Boom. Learning so much from other builds and comments. Been using aluminum from house trim, used on vinyl siding. For medal banding etc., but will start using paper more after reading and looking at how good it look's.

datadiscovery Posted October 27, 2021 Share #10 Posted October 27, 2021 Your Morgan looks great! I appreciate the well-worn look you have given it I am about to begin working on the masts, yards and the rigging but have a question I hope you can answer. On my plan sheets there is one sheet which depicts the foremast and the mainmast face-on. They show the masts, yards and outlines of the sails. But I find NO depiction of the mizzenmast. Do your plans show this and if so, on which sheet. Thank you for your help. Pete Scott Mitchell 1 Quote Pete Current Build: Charles W.

On my plan sheet looking face-on (looking aft) at foremast and mainmast, to the right under 'Belaying Plan' is 'Mizzen Crossjack' looking aft. If you don't have it can take a photo off it for you. I see your in Beaverton. My kit came from a storage shed on the OR. Coast. Raines Resort in Woods OR. just outside of Pacific City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiscovery Posted November 9, 2021 Share #13 Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks for the reply, Scott. Yes, I missed the Mizzen Crossjack until you pointed it out. Thanks for the reply and the info. And, yes, I know Pacific City but haven't been over to the coast since Covid started. Your Morgan is outstanding. Pete Scott Mitchell 1 Quote Pete Current Build: Charles W.
