Tigersteve Posted February 19, 2017 Share #301 Posted February 19, 2017 Those chainplates and deadeyes were tricky right?! I'm going to also try to rig the mast before the install. So close!!

Nirvana Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share #302 Posted February 19, 2017 Well, before next "masted" build, I am going to work on the skill of making chainplates and eyes. And rigging in general. I have material for those exercises. Practice makes one better, someone said long time ago. mtaylor, Jack12477, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

mikiek Posted February 20, 2017 Share #303 Posted February 20, 2017 Looks like there was a little celebration? Besides the nail at the bottom, is there any other fastener? That's a good pic of the trim at the wale. You did a good job of fixing that paper trim to the boat. Nirvana, mtaylor and Jack12477 3 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

Nirvana Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share #304 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Mike, I used a "tap" of CA between the plate and the rubbing strake to fix the item. That way it won't be flimmsy when it comes to the rigging. As for the fixing the paper, I followed Chuck's recommendation. Finally, yes that's an amber colored liquid in the background, that you enjoy in small sips. Edit: Thank you for the compliment.

Nirvana Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share #305 Posted February 22, 2017 Progress! I never thought I were to enjoy rigging and I am glad this longboat doesn't have the complexity of lot of lines. But I am now at the stage where I am as god as at the end. The pictures in the beginning shows the rat-nest that is to be the major part of the rigging.

Erik W Posted February 22, 2017 Share #306 Posted February 22, 2017 I like how you do some of this off of the boat. Once of the challenges for me on the longboat, being new to rigging, was getting everything tied while the mast was installed.

Nirvana Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share #307 Posted February 22, 2017 Erik, Thank you for your comment. I thought the more of the pre-rigging I can do outside the boat the better.

Nirvana Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share #313 Posted February 26, 2017 In order to get the shrouds equally I used the deadeye claw while tying the opposite side. Think it worked out fairly nice. I am intending to work the shroud tying just like when doing tighten up nuts/bolts on the wheels of the car, crosswise. This way they will be equally taught.

Nirvana Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share #324 Posted March 3, 2017 I am done! The special feature I have included is a signal cannon. I did som research and found that some longboats carried a signal cannon. So I added it to the port side at the stem. This longboat has been a great build, even though it took its time to get there. Moving and other things came in-between. And I have a lot of extra material saved from the kit and the boxwood upgrade. I like to thank you all that followed me through this build, with likes and comments. Special to Chuck for support! Chuck, gjdale, Canute and 7 others 10 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
