@ Sam,

 

The copper gnomes are a little busy.

But they can not work without my supervising......

Easy as it goes.....

And the law is pffffffffff?

Don't say that to a judge !

 

@ Sherry,

 

Thank you for your nice comment  ;)  ;)  ;)  pfffffffff

It's something what everyone is saying....if you don't like it, change it !

Anja is talking the same, it looks good why changing ?????

I've change it and that is enough  :D  :D  :D  :D

9 days off , how do I count .

Take the first Saturday and count till the next Sunday.

When you have more then 5 days off, you may count the other 4 days to complete a week 

Then you have nine days.

I can count like this because I'm working also the weekends.

But beware ! this is only for the working class !

Those who are retired can count what ever they want.

9 days for a week, 90 days for a month, 900 days for a year ect ect ect.

 

@ Robert,

 

I thought I can hide what I was doing at the Batavia......

Nice picture btw !

You have a nice day over there ?

 

And because it is still a build log and we are going on a side kick a picture off what I have done.

The first few copperplates are on it !

I like it much better !

This is the way I wanted it !!!

Thanks Popeye and Kevin.

 

@ Popeye,

 

I'll be doing one side totally before I go to the other side.

So I know what side has to face the wall..... ;)

Like the idea of a copper hanger  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Kevin,

 

When I have my week off I can do a little bit more between letting our lease dog out  :D  :D  :D

Yes, we have her again for 2 weeks......

Maybe she can help me ?

Good job on the coppering Sjors. I've forgotten what a massive job it was.

Coming towards end of ratlines on my Aggie now, another massive job.

Keep up good work.

 

All the best.

@ Lawrence,

 

Be patient please !

I'm a little bit further with the plates but I was talking about it with Mobbsie and yes, I have made a mistake again....

In fact...two.

So I have to remove a few plates to get it right.

And now you wanna now what of course.

I tell you.

First I had place one plate inside the gore line.

That one goes out en will follow the gore line.

Second, at the stern post and bow section, I let the plates make the same curve as the gore line.

Now I found out that the plates has to be straight on that.

So 6 more plates has to go.

I hope later this week i can make pictures.....

 

@ Draggz,

 

Thanks !!!!
