Jay 1 Posted March 13, 2014 #31 Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Robbyn, just caught up with your log. First and most importantly am sending prayers and good wishes to your mom, you, and your family!! Words are never quite adequate for those places of the heart. Your start looks great, and it looks like things are going well! Cheers, Jay Shazmira 1 Quote Current Build: Ariel
kscadman Posted March 13, 2014 #32 Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Robbyn, saw build log under the update list and thought I'd drop by. You've got a great start, especially the extra filler blocks. In hindsight I wish I would of done that. I too send my well wishes to your mom.

Marsares Posted March 13, 2014 #34 Posted March 13, 2014 She's turning into a beauty, Robbyn. Well done! I'm a few steps behind you so I'm looking at your log often to see if I'm overlooking something. I guess getting the run of the temporary strip right is what will make or break the look of the ship in many way. I'll be spending a fair bit of time on that I guess!

Shazmira Posted March 13, 2014 Author #35 Posted March 13, 2014 Marsares, I can't stress how important it is to get the correct sweep of that temporary batten. Everything you do regarding the hull follows what you do on that step, so take your time and get it right the first time!! augie 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

Piet Posted March 15, 2014 #37 Posted March 15, 2014 Hi Robbyn, sorry I'm late to join in following your re-build, I too have been busy and kinda distracted. My prayers are also out on behalf of your mother. I know from persona; experience what's going on in her mind. I am now also undergoing treatment for my second cancer, this time bladder. But things look up and I'm not too concerned. Your build is beginning to look really spiffy and remembering the past errors seems to be helpful. Keep a stiff upper lip and stay in good health.

Shazmira Posted March 24, 2014 Author #38 Posted March 24, 2014 Finally a bit of an update, had spring break this past week and I took a break from life in a way. Got all sorts of little things done around the house I had been putting off for 9 months, managed to get all my aftermarket accessories (windshield, saddle bags etc) put on my new Harley...now just waiting for nice weather so I can start riding! In the midst of a week of relaxation, I did manage to get a bit of building done Got all the gun port framing completed Finished the stern framing I think I managed to get everything faired correctly this time And the upper planking has begun!!! This time I taped together 7 small strips of planking and ran it along the top wale (before gluing it in place) to make sure I had the proper curvature. this is where I messed up the first time, you can see below that my wale at the bow was almost 1/2 inch too low, notice how the planking was not "up" where it should have been 42rocker, JeffT, gjdale and 11 others 14 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

gjdale Posted March 24, 2014 #44 Posted March 24, 2014 Nice to see an update Robbyn. I totally understand how life can get in the way sometimes. Looks like your new hull is taking shape nicely - well done. Be careful on that bike of yours - just had a phone call from an old friend this evening. He's in hospital after crashing his bike in the Snowy Mountains on the weekend. Not the way he'd planned to experience his first ever helicopter flight!

Charley54 Posted March 27, 2014 #50 Posted March 27, 2014 Hey Robbyn, looking good. You are right back up with me. I finished the starboard side upper planking and am almost done on the port side. I have to get some pictures up on my log. I counted upwards of 60 seperate pieces on my startboard side. Lots of pieces, lots of time. I sure have learned a lot though. However, the starboard side will be the wall side on my Syren. I guess that means I have to start everything on the starboard side just to work the kinks out Charley Shazmira 1 Quote Current Build - US Brig Syren
Shazmira Posted March 29, 2014 Author #51 Posted March 29, 2014 Charley I too am going to have a wall side...seems no matter how many times I redo things I still end up with one side better than the other dgbot 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

Bedford Posted March 30, 2014 #53 Posted March 30, 2014 Standard procedure Robbyn, the trick is to get all the wall side stuff on the same side. It usually tends to work out though. augie 1 Quote Ships built :- Schooner for Port Jackson Thermoplylae Bluenose II Full size Tammie Norrie dinghy 1:8 scale Miss Caroline, model of the full size boat I built Under construction :- Royal Caroline, this one is special as it is in memory of my 13 year old daughter, Caroline who passed away in 2005 Miane three masted schooner R/C, scratch build (on hold) Charles W Morgan (on hold) Scratch designed and built R/C Mahogany and Walnut speedboat (on hold) In the que :- S.T.

Shazmira Posted April 3, 2014 Author #55 Posted April 3, 2014 So I have managed to make a little sawdust since my last update. Got the upper planking complete on both sides. Still have a bit more sanding to do, and need to touch up a bit of my paint on the interior faces of the gun ports. Much happier this time around in the result! Kieth, yes, I am teaching again this summer, but at least this year those classes are already developed so it should be less stressful on that front. On the other hand I was asked to pick up two online 16 week courses for eduKan (the Kansas college consortium) they pay really well for those courses, but now I will spend my summer getting them fully developed and up and running for the fall semester. dgbot, HIPEXEC, mtaylor and 16 others 19 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!
