MikkiC Posted January 21 Author #61 Posted January 21 @Seventynet thanks for the compliment. I went with 1 x 5 for 2nd layer. Up til this model, I've used veneers. I like the 1 x 5 better for a lot of reasons, but what I didn't count on was it shrinking. I have some hairline gaps that weren't there when originally planked. I can fix it, but I was still kinda dumbfounded by it. Oh wood is such a fickle entity. Seventynet 1 Mikki "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

MikkiC Posted January 30 Author #62 Posted January 30 Sanding is donne, so the fun has begun! Wales will border this line of decoration above and below. I'm not sure if the wales will be black or natural. eatcrow2, Baker and Seventynet 3 Mikki "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

MikkiC Posted February 5 Author #63 Posted February 5 May need another coat and a few touch ups. The other side needs another coat for certain then on to the wales. I at least got the transom attached. Pfälzer, Louie da fly, SaltyDog and 5 others 8 Mikki "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

MikkiC Posted February 15 Author #65 Posted February 15 Making some progress albeit slow. I opted to keep the wales natural, so I picked the darkest walnut pieces I had. I have one more to install. Pic was taken before I installed a few more. The piece under the holes for the windows is just a temporary level you know like when you install upper kitchen cabinets. 😁 I started on the floor of the stern galley, but I must have removed it before the pic. Oh well. It will show up eventually. Pfälzer, Louie da fly, Knocklouder and 4 others 7 Mikki "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

MikkiC Posted 18 hours ago Author #66 Posted 18 hours ago So I think these are called "standards," but I could be wrong. Please correct me if I am. I need to rename them "the bane of my day." I struggled with these. I also didn't glue them where the paint is in case I have to tear them out (which I really can't see me doing.) In the past, I've cut out the wale and placed them that way. Why I decided to try this method I do not know. Does anyone know why some are higher than the wales and others are flush? Just curious. I've seen it that way on many models.

Does anyone know why some are higher than the wales and others are flush? As far as I know. These standards serve as a reinforcement of the hull. Especially also on rear and fore castles if you do them flush with the wales (in pieces) then they have no strength anymore, and consequently little use. And, very nice work.

MikkiC Posted 5 hours ago Author #68 Posted 5 hours ago Thank you...all. I can always change the ones that are flush. I've seen the flush ones in many logs and plans. Wasn't quite sure what to do.
