FriedClams Posted May 19 Share #32 Posted May 19 Great progress on the sharpie, Paul. Nice deck crowning process! You never know when a stirring stick will come in handy.

Paul Le Wol Posted May 19 Author Share #33 Posted May 19 Gary,thank you very much. I was at the hobby store the other day to pick up some basswood sheets and it has been on backorder for quite some time. Don’t know if that is the case in other areas but I’ve started looking at stir sticks in a different light. Some of them I’ve gotten lately have been very nice quality. They could be good framing material in the future.😀 Canute, JacquesCousteau, robert952 and 1 other 4 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Paul Le Wol Posted June 1 Author Share #34 Posted June 1 Hi Everyone, thank you for the Comments, Likes, and for dropping by. The deck beams have been completed and then the king plank was removed where it crosses the cockpit. The cockpit was framed using material from a carrier sheet that had the correct radius for the aft two corners. For a change of pace I made the cockpit floor and then gave it a dry fit. Support was added for the deck furnishings and the holes for the masts were opened up The inner stem was cut flush with the deck beams. This week the hull planking will be worked on. Hope to see you next time. FriedClams, robert952, Harvey Golden and 13 others 13 3 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

FriedClams Posted June 7 Share #35 Posted June 7 Looking good, Paul - excellent work! Are you sure this is your first scratch build? I like the scale of the grain on the cockpit floor.

Paul Le Wol Posted June 7 Author Share #36 Posted June 7 Hi Gary, thank you for your comment, I appreciate them very much. I have been looking at pictures of decking and came across this one of the oyster sloop Nellie. There is a picture of a North Carolina sharpie in the book “Migrations of an American Boat Type “ that has a deck that is planked in the same manner. So I think there may be some changes in the color and width of the decking on the way. 😀 Keith Black, Glen McGuire, FriedClams and 5 others 8 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Paul Le Wol Posted June 9 Author Share #37 Posted June 9 Hi Everyone, thank you very much for your Likes and Comments. The hull planking is finished. While the glue was drying I laid out the main hatch. Actually had a chance to use the repeater attachment on the sander. It worked very nicely. The perimeter pieces are made from 5/16” x 5/16” basswood that was left over from a Model Shipways kit. The sides of the center board slot are made from 2 pieces of 1/16” x 1/4” AYC glued together and mounted so that they will sit 1/16” off the deck to allow for the crown. All of those pieces were assembled. Going to wait for the sub deck to be laid before tweaking it. Lots of angles and curves going on. I gave the hull planking a good scrub with 150 grit sandpaper. Probably go over it again with 220 grit paper. This is her waiting for the sub deck which will be cut from 1/32” basswood sheets, and the main hatch getting a test fit. Hope to see you next time.

Paul Le Wol Posted June 16 Author Share #38 Posted June 16 Hi Everyone, thank you very much for dropping by and Liking. Quite a while ago I cut and shaped the part of the false wale that wraps around the stern. I posted this picture previously but figured I’d post it again as a reminder. Attached it about an inch at a time using pins, PVA and CA. It Is made out of 1/16” basswood sheet but will be sanded down to 1/32” to match the false wales that continue up the hull to the stem. A template for the sub deck was made using a file folder and used to mark a sheet of 1/32” basswood sheet. Once the sub deck was attached the sheer was sanded down to it. A 7/32 x 1/32” strip of AYC was used for the rest of the false wale and sanded back down to the sub deck leaving it about 3/16” wide. During the times the glue was drying I made a mould to shape the curved cockpit walls. Shaped one piece of 1/32” basswood sheet that was soaked in water for a few minutes. The grain is running vertically so it wasn’t difficult to shape. Let that dry for a couple of days and then glued another piece on top of the first piece. Gave it a test fit to see how high it needed to be. Made some more parts for the main hatch. The center board crane was built up out of 5/16” x 1/16” AYC. Then more test fitting. That’s about it for now. Hope to see you soon. Daniel KF, Roger Pellett, Knocklouder and 10 others 12 1 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.
