rwiederrich Posted October 7 Author #541 Posted October 7 Started working on the metal sheet blocks. I’m following the same method I used for Glory of the Seas. I used metal record tabs. Bent them in half to form the block body. Marked and cut them. But first I drilled all the mounting holes on the mill. Here are some pics of the process. Short but sweet. Next, I’ll mount them on the yards when I get to that point and paint the entire thing then. Each block is 1/8” wide.

ClipperFan Posted October 8 #543 Posted October 8 @rwiederrich, My 2nd Reconstructing Glory of the Seas article for the Nautical Research Journal draft was submitted on-time to meet their Winter 2025 issue. No guarantee it will appear in that one yet. By now you should have received both my final and then finished drafts. It was too late for @druxey to give it an editorial review. However, I learned how to use the internal Microsoft Word editor which gave me a 96%. Mike was nice enough to review my final draft and I made a handful of source corrections. One fascinating correction was the date of the San Francisco wharf scene is actually 1880 not 1877. Other than an honorable mention, @Vladimir_Wairoa had to be left out for a third promised installment. I have until December 31st this year to submit it and I fully intend to meet it. Vladimir's build is a fascinating journey of construction, tear-down and reconstruction. In the end he, as a relative novice to rigging a clipper ship, managed to create the most beautiful 1869 Glory of the Seas replica. Meanwhile, I included in the second article that Mike has declared your 1877 miniature to be the most accurate Glory of the Seas replica ever produced. druxey, Tony Hunt and Vladimir_Wairoa 3 Quote

Any book yet? Rob @Vladimir_Wairoa Thank God you're recovered from the damn Covid. That is great news!! For the record, I only sent my 3rd draft to you, in hopes of collaborating about your timeline for building, tearing down and rebuilding efforts. The delay in getting the 2nd article submitted earlier was in large part my journey of discovery of your amazing build. Once I realized how complex alone your construction process was, it became clear there has to be a 3rd article devoted exclusively to your replica. The 2nd article is a very long one but it just felt right to cover Rob's fascinating rigging process in depth. By the way Vlad, even though I have no immediate plans to build one, I still want to acquire a set of the Stag Hound bulkheads just like I did for Glory of the Seas. I don't want to miss out on having a set for Stag Hound. Just let me know the costs and I can pay you via Paypal or even mail you a check. @rwiederrich with the tight timeline of a handful of days I didn't have enough time to go through and select more of your finished images.

Still, when Mike read it the only changes he recommended were a few reference corrections. I have a very solid 3rd installment devoted exclusively to Vladimir's build and I'm determined to submit that before the Jan 1st 2025 deadline. Next there's our Stag Hound project which I want to get a jump on. Next year is the 175th Anniversary of her December 7th 1850 launch. Donald McKay's incredible contribution to Boston's amazing fleet of California Clippers deserves to be recognized. BANYAN and druxey 2 Quote

Meanwhile, even if you're not planning an immediate build, Vlad did you make a 1:72nd scale set for yourself? Rob, I hope the 2nd set is for me. I'm ready to contribute my fair share to get a copy. Just let me know who I owe what. Knowing that next year (just a few months away now) is the 175th Anniversary of the launch of Stag Hound, I can't think of a better tribute than to see her realized by Rob. Even if he just gets her hull completed. I just love the way Donald's son Cornelius McKay phrased it "The Pioneer craft of the California Clipper Fleet." Her successful career, although sadly way too brief, did indeed lead to a fleet of some of the most spectacular, record breaking clippers the world has ever seen.
