augie Posted April 6, 2015 Share #400 Posted April 6, 2015 Just wanted to mention, John, that a TV channel called 'Smithsonian' ran a documentary here in the US on the cultured pearl industry in Australia going back to the late 1800's. They showed some clips from the 20's of the pearl luggars and I felt right at home after following your fine log.

Jim Lad Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share #401 Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks for that, Augie. I don't think that show have been on TV out here. The luggers from the 20's would still have been the same design as the 'Pritt'. John GLakie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share #402 Posted April 16, 2015 Time for another update. The deck planking proper has now been started and I must say it seems pretty easy after the hull planking - nice straight pieces of wood to work with for a change!

Jim Lad Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share #406 Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks again for the support, folks. Russ - I use an archival quality marker pen and run it along just one side of the planks.

Jim Lad Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share #409 Posted May 18, 2015 Another small update. I was pretty busy talking to visitors last time at the museum, however I did manage to get a bit more deck planking done. I've also started on treenailing the deck and will continue this work as the deck progresses.

Jim Lad Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share #412 Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks, Janos - pity the visitors can't see any of your work in the cupboard! Russ - I'll scrape off all the excess glue and then fine sand before a few coats of Poly over the entire hull. Tanks for looking in, Frank.
