riverboat Posted February 4, 2015 Author #241 Posted February 4, 2015 HI Tony....... the reason you couldn't see the mistake was because I forgot to upload the picture .... what it was is that I cut the planks in back of the big grating too long so when I laid the remaining planks the treenail holes were not spot on in alignment, I just wasn't paying attention. You'd probably wouldn't have noticed it unless I pointed it out. Oh yeah, there's plenty of that stuff to go around out here, So grab the next flight and have yourself a real good time!!! :P Hi Dennis........ Glad you like the deck, like I told Tony, you can see why you couldn't find the mistake........Well most of the major building is done I'll be working the transom and the head pieces next. . Thanks for stopping by... Frank mobbsie and popeye the sailor 2 Quote completed build: Delta River Co. Riverboat HMAT SUPPLY USRC "ALERT" in progress: Red Dragon (Chinese junk)

DenPink Posted February 4, 2015 #243 Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Frank If you stain or use weathering agents with wood apart from painting it all you are doing is putting pigments into or on the wood. When you apply the clear varnish it is free of pigments apart from a stain/varnish mix. If you get a strip of wood and put the end in some water you will see how dark it will go, clear varnish will do the same thing may be not so much if you have stain or weathering agents on the wood but it will darken it.

Achieving realistic weathering results like you've done is incredibly hard. I'm speechless.

Up Date Time!, It's been a while, I was laid up there for about 5 weeks with a bug I had a hard time shaking off, but everything is back to normal, so hopefully I can be a little more aggressive with the up dates I"m pretty well finished with the deck work outside of installing some cleats I have on order from Chuck..... and some minor touch up work., following are some pictures of whats been done so far. Thanks for looking in. Frank These next three pictures show the deck bitts being made The next two are of the cap pc for the stern and a facia for the bottom . The following are of the oars and rudder, tiller& stove pipe...... and the last few pictures show everything installed on deck. Well, that's it for today, Thanks again to all of you looking in!!
