What a confidence in me......

 

Thanks Sherry,

 

I'll do my best !!!!!!!!!

 

[patrickmil]

Sjors, your planking is moving right along. It's all looking good and I'm sure it'll shape up great at the stern. All those cannons are frightening  . Like Frank was saying, some might think you were getting ready for some hostile actions.

Sjor's up to his old tricks again?  ya know boys.......we were looking for a good place to offload Justin Bieber...........I think we just found it :D :D

[patrickmil]

This is a family friendly forum, please refrain from using the "B" word!     

[augie]

Yes...... a model idiot.

[popeye the sailor]

[DORIS]

Very nice progress with planking and the guns look perfect as well. Great craftsmanship, dear Sjors.

 

Keep up this beautiful work.

Best regards,

Doris

[Sjors]

Thanks Doris....

 

From a lady master of you it make me 

And then I mean that you are saying.......craftmanship !

I'm just playing with wood but what you re doing with paper and clay THAT'S crafmanship !( or is it craft ladyship ?)

 

[DORIS]

Thank you, dear Sjors. I admire people, who can make ship models of wood. I have a considerable respect before this artistry.

The word "craftmanship" or "craftsmanship"  - well I am not good at English and my PC translator always correct it and add a letter "s".  I am not sure, whether it is correct.

But it is important we understand each other.

 

Kind regards

Doris

[Sjors]

It doesn't metter Doris.

 

I have the same problem with mine translations....

But the people on this forum knows that we are doing our best with the translation.

If there is a word not correct, so be it.

But we all speak the same langue about modelling

Or dit you hit the road again.......

 

[Sjors]

Update time.....

 

I have now make 2 planks with the strange bend......

I think that this is the meaning.

If not, please tell me !

I have also go from the keel upwards....

Still a few more planks to go !

That looks great to my eyes Sjors! Ratline King and now planking King? What the world coming to ?? 

Sam

[patrickmil]

Hey Sjors, the planks look great. Very smooth and tight!

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam and Patrick,

 

@ Sam,

 

Can I please be a modeller and not a king ?

We just have a new one in the Netherlands     

 

[riverboat]

I think we should give you a new name Sjors.... "King Plank" ..... nice bend on those strakes!!

Frank

[mobbsie]

Hi Sjors,

 

This bend is positively the hardest part of both planking's and I must say your doing a very good job.   :)  

 

Now's the time to start trimming the remainder of the planks to fit the stern counter mate, believe me you will soon get into trouble if you don't.  

 

Speak to you later

 

Be Good

 

mobbsie

[Sjors]

Thanks Frank,

You can give me any name you want !

 

I will do it Mobbsie,

 

I have to listen to the mentor ......

 

 

[Trussben]

Hi Sjors,

 

It may be the camera angle but in that last shot it looks like the right hand planks are further towards the keel compared to the other side, in other words not symmetrical. Are you painting/coppering the bottom? If so it shouldn't cause a problem.

 

Ben

[Sjors]

Wow Ben,

 

Are you looking with a magnifier ????

You are right.

It's not symmetrical.

But it's gonna have another layer of planking and then It's gonna be coppered.

So you don't see a thing anymore after that.

But thanks for looking so carefully !      

 

[gjdale]

Those stern bends sure look tricky Sjors. Looks like you've got it covered though. Progressing nicely.

[augie]

So you finally incurred the wrath of BEN !  Consider yourself lucky......it's his log I'm following for my Confed build so I know he's out there.  Makes me do everything about 12 times before I update  .  But seriously, always good to have another set of eyes on board.

[Sjors]

Thanks Grant,

 

I'm happy as it goes at the moment.

But I'll be more happy when the hull is closed    

Then I can clean the workshop again after all the sanding....

 

I know Augie and I like it when someone looks close to the build and give there comment.

That's only helpful !

So please Ben, give your comment !!!!!!

 

[popeye the sailor]

oh great!  now we can stand outside of Sjor's house,  and all we'll hear is  pfffff.....pffffff......pffffff! 

[Sjors]

Only English Popeye !!!!!!

How many time have to say that !!!!!!!

 

You don't have to stay outside, you are more then welcome to come inside     

 

[popeye the sailor]

[Sjors]
