Honey I'm home !!!!!!

 

First of all I want to thank you all for the birthday wishes !

Also from those who send me a PM on that.....

Pleasant surprise  :D  :D  :D

When the pictures are sorted out I will open a post again in Shore leave but that can takes a while.

Tomorrow I wil go back to the workshop and go further with the standing rigging and yards for the Fonz.

Update time at the Aggy but also for the Fonz  :D  :D  :D  :D

Second planking and sanding of that on the Aggy is done !

It only takes me a couple of months to do it .

Now I need some filler at some places and sanding it again.

It has to be a smooth surface for the copperplates.

But...after the filling and sanding it's painting time !

Then I can start with the coppering.

Looks great.  Yes, takes a lot of time to plank a big one like her ---- but well worth it!  CONGRATS on the milestone.

Congrats on reaching this milestone Sjors - looks good. Bet you can't wait for the coppering! ;)

I think the real question is --- can he afford the copper plates?  Maybe he should have her insured by Lloyd's when she's done!

Thanks Augie, Grant and Jan,

 

@ Grant,

 

I want to do the coppering but there is a lot more to do before I can do that.

Filling, Sanding, Painting, draw a waterline....Paint again  :D  :D

 

@ Augie,

 

I broke Anja her piggybank for the copper  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Don't tell her that please.... ;)
