garyshipwright Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share #790 Posted December 25, 2022 Hi Christain. We are doing ok and every body stayed home so the deep freeze isn't affecting us to much. We are all getting together Monday to celebrate Chistmas. Figure the roads will be cleared by then.

garyshipwright Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share #793 Posted April 14, 2023 Hello every one. It's been awhile since I posted any thing on Montague/Alfred but wanted to get the the planking done on the Winchelsea and after 6 month's or so of building the bulkhead's and planking her in boxwood I finally went back to work on Montague/Alfred. Been slowly working on adding more beams to the upper deck. I added a few photo's of the Winchelasea and do hope you enjoy the photo's. Sorry about the delay on getting back to her.

Treebeard Posted April 14, 2023 Share #794 Posted April 14, 2023 What beautiful work Gary. It’s not that you have not been busy with other more important things. guy mtaylor 1 Quote The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

garyshipwright Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share #796 Posted April 14, 2023 Thanks guys. Guy your right about that, have been busy that's for sure. Thanks druxey, thought that might add a little detail to her. If you look close at the top of the capstan. I installed some pin's and chain's for holding the bar's in place. Still a lot to do on her, just need to spend a lot more time on her. Once I get the beams installed I may just have some fun and install the stove that I built a couple of years ago.

Tobias Posted April 15, 2023 Share #797 Posted April 15, 2023 Good morning Gary, it is a wonderful and absolutely clean work, much to be admired. It took some time to scroll through your log. Sorry if I've just come across this and have to get back to the beginning of your project, did I understand correctly that you drew the plans by hand, i.e. old school with a pencil? That's really impressive, your bookshelf and all the plans in the roles also fascinate me. Absolutely great performance.

Yes I drafted the plans of her, the half breadth plan and then her frames from that. I also drafted the lay out of her deck lines from the shear plans. One does have to be very careful because after many years the plans have enlarge, grown and redrafting this parts, help's straighten this out. Makes her easier to build. I do thank you for your kind words.

In some ways I do believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but at the moment it's a very very small dot on the wall. Ok back to work and thanks for the kind word's.
