J Snyder Posted February 24, 2025 Author #61 Posted February 24, 2025 I forgot to mark out some seam lines before I put on the reinforcements on the first side. I turned over the sail and marked them out and installed the corner reinforcements and the other side batten pockets. Just waiting for it to dry.

J Snyder Posted February 25, 2025 Author #62 Posted February 25, 2025 I laced the sail to the gaff and started on the boom and found I had forgotten to put the cleat on the boom. I had hoped to have the pram finished by now but now I need to let the cleat dry. I also found I installed the eyes on the boom on the wrong side. It will still work but the gooseneck will be on the other side then the plans show.

J Snyder Posted February 25, 2025 Author #63 Posted February 25, 2025 Pram is FINISHED! I got the outhaul lashings, halyard, and the mail sheet installed. For anyone that may use this I had scaled up the sail to 115% that was a mistake 105% to 110% would have been better. I should have ironed the sail cloth before painting on the thinned glue mixture as to of the creases didn't come out. I learned a lot, not on the construction or rigging of the boat but on working at a small scale, even though this was only 1:12. I have never used tweezers so much in my life. I kept trying to grab things with my fingers only to be frustrated and have to grab the tweezers. I'm not sure if I should post the picture here or some where else. It will be awhile before the next build as I need to work on the car I am building (Locost 7). I am also looking at converting an old belt sander into a thickness sander. I will try to post some photos of the conversion if it works. Still not sure if I will build the Lobster Smack or scratch build the Gary Thomas.

One thing that would help with the directions would be to change some of the photos from the prototype (of the model not the full size) to using photos from the kit supplies.

J Snyder Posted March 15, 2025 Author #78 Posted March 15, 2025 I finely got around to making a case for the Pram. The sides and top are 3/32" Lexan and the base is some Mulberry wood I had under one of my benches. It was checked so bad I had to cut it up and laminate to get the width I needed. It doesn't match the stand but It will have to work. First time working with Lexan definitely different way of working then I'm use to. Hope to do better next time.
