Nirvana Posted January 4, 2014 #122 Posted January 4, 2014 Floyd my friend. That second planking of yours looks really nice,I am still debating for single or double. The single (1.5mm walnut) is tough as the single strip wants to another way than the profile of the hull. Looking good! fnkershner 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

fnkershner Posted January 4, 2014 Author #123 Posted January 4, 2014 Per - Its neck and neck. Who will finish first? I am close. I hope to finish the planking on both sides tomorrow.

Nirvana Posted January 4, 2014 #124 Posted January 4, 2014 Floyd, you are way ahead of me, besides if I am to do a second layer I am way behind. I found America easier to plank with walnut due to her lines. Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

fnkershner Posted January 4, 2014 Author #125 Posted January 4, 2014 I thought you were only going to do 1 layer. And so you only had 6 planks to go on each side. And since you don't have cut your planks from a sheet you should finish before me. I am about 2/3 of the way thru cutting my Starboard Planks. We are going out tonight so I will have to install tomorrow. PS After seeing the results on my Port side. I will always replace any wood that is not painted and visible with wood from Jeff. It is just that good! I wish I had done the whole hull with his wood. It is going to take one heck of a sanding job to get the other wood close to how nice his wood looks. As they say you get what you pay for. It might cost a bit more but is very much worth it.

bobkeimach Posted March 19, 2015 #126 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Hi, I purchased my Harvey in 1985 and after installing the false deck I compared it to the enclosed plans. I had to stop the build because my ship was about two inches shorter on deck than the plans showed. If you have the plans for the shorter model I would like to buy, beg or borrow them. I can be reached at (address deleted by moderator) Bob Edited October 23, 2015 by ccoyle Don't openly post your email addy - it's a sure invitation for spammers. Quote
rafterrat_2005 Posted October 23, 2015 #127 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm in need of the plans of the Harvey 1847 A.I., The only print I have is #3. I don't know where to look for the others. I purchased the kit on line a few years back and put the build on the back burner until recently. I know I don't have all the parts nor all the woods, but they can be made mostly from scratch. Can I have help on locating the prints please. Quote
