Regards Greetings, Lawrence, and thanks for stopping by! Currently I am packing up the shipyard again getting ready for another move. Close on the house the end on the month (great Halloween treat!). This time, just moving down the street into a house with plenty of room for us, the grand kids, and a shipyard.

Hmmm...I think that would be a net loss, Sal - it is an old, unfinished, low ceiling dirt floor basement (brick foundation circa 1900). All kinds of suggestions but in the garage you can get away from it all, just hope the garage is heated. Bob The garage is, indeed, heated - and with about half of it available for the shop, should be plenty of room! Just means I still need to clean snow off the pickup this winter.

mobbsie Posted November 14, 2015 #227 Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Wayne, Good luck with the move mate, I wish you plenty of patience and a strong back. As far as man caves are concerned especially with young boys involved, I'm afraid to say the basement sounds about right, a blank page for them to do up as they please, give them a good project to get up to during the long winter months. Unless your happy to use the garage of course, I mean the loft is quite high and must have a lot of steps to get there.

trippwj Posted February 29, 2016 Author #230 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Well, now, I guess it's time for some updating! The workshop is now re-floored and operating. The ECB is on the table and have added the garboard strake and the next strake above. Moving along very slowly, but progress is occurring! Since the weather was so nice, I took her down to the shore for some pictures in her "natural habitat". Starboard side - this is the side that will be partly planked (the port side will be fully planked). Bow view Stern view View from above.

texxn5 Posted February 29, 2016 #231 Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Wayne, she's taking shape, nicely done. Good to see you back in the yards. I was in your area in July but forgot you lived up there. We stayed in Lubec for 2 weeks and came to Eastport a few times during our stay. Bought Lobster's off the boats and I ate them until I turned red...lol. Sorry to have missed you, we spent over a month in north eastern Maine and loved it.

trippwj Posted July 17, 2016 Author #237 Posted July 17, 2016 Gracious - has it really been nearly 5 months since my last update??? Hull planking continues, albeit slowly. I have never planked a hull before, and am taking great care to ensure I don't make too big a mess of this! I have no pictures at present, for which i apologize. I hope to share the progress (perhaps by next weekend) if I can get one side completed. Will keep you posted!

Cheers OK, Carl - just for you! Please ignore the rough finish and obvious gaps...plenty of sanding and (gulp) filling to be done! The workshop has come together nicely - adding several outlets and LED ligthing has made a huge difference! Overall view of Emma Starboard side - this one will remain partially planked. Port side - this one will be fully planked. My challenge right now (for both sides) is to achieve a balanced planking while addressing the difference in space at the extremities from the mid-ship section. Learning to work with proportional dividers and taper planks. riverboat, hexnut, egkb and 7 others 10 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
vintage modeler Posted July 18, 2016 #240 Posted July 18, 2016 Glad to see your back also Wayne. Your planking looks fine from what I see, just follow the kit directions and the drawings and you will do fine. The ECB was where I learned to plank and dividers can become your best friend. Envy your model room also, so neat! trippwj 1 Quote
