mattsayers148 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share #342 Posted April 2, 2015 For all who thought my squirrels and I had left our Launch behind, we're still here. My last trip to the Coast was for work, but I was still able to steal a few hrs away to go to the beach. I found several sand dollars.... Several crab backs... And some driftwood. I figured I could use these some how for the base of my launch. So this is the configuration that I came up with. The metal fasteners need to be covered, and a finish needs to be applied, but these will be done after I decide placement and attachment of said Launch. Stay tuned through the weekend as I hope to have this done by weekends end. Canute, IgorSky, Salty Sea Dog and 4 others 7 Quote Matt - aka The Squirrel Whisperer Current builds - Benjamin W.

mattsayers148 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share #345 Posted April 4, 2015 The final finish has been applied to the Launch pad. I used small sections of brass tubing to cover the threaded rod and treated them with Casey's brass black. While the Launch pad was drying, various pieces of brass pieces were chosen for the mounting brackets. Holes were drilled through the keel to accept brass rod and mounting screws. Then mounting brackets were removed and treated with Casey's brass black as well. Today's list of to-dos is to bore out holes in launch pad for brackets to go into and mount the Launch. I decided to remove all the rigging so that thorough scrubbing could be done. Once the launch is mounted, the mast, sails and rigging will be done. Stay tuned...

thomaslambo Posted April 4, 2015 Share #346 Posted April 4, 2015 Hi Matt, Simply wonderful build. Thanks for documenting all the details....invaluable to new builders like myself. The tools, barrels, netting....all great stuff, I've been searching for creative ways to fill the lower decks of my Bounty build FYI - we have several generations of squirrels living in our backyard.....and I just found out they love cucumber (wiped out part of my garden).

Wow guys you're makin me top heavy with this bulbous head that's growing! I think I've figured out where all my extra squirrels are coming from.

GLakie Posted April 4, 2015 Share #354 Posted April 4, 2015 I know what you mean Matt! I think this breeding mutant ninja squirrels has turned into a nation-wide conspiracy, because I spotted this one in my back yard this morning.

mattsayers148 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share #355 Posted April 5, 2015 Given the incentive of a long overdue day off, the squirrels busted out the rigging in record time! "Double rations of rum my brethren, for two days," Harry shouted, "Oorah!" Although they completely rebuilt the Launch and placed some items aboard, I've been assured that it's still not complete. The cargo netting seemed to be a solution to overcrowding. However, once all items were put on board, there still is a significant lack of space. So I began making mental notes to give to the squirrels. Hopefully after a day or two, they'll get some idea for a solution.

mattsayers148 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share #359 Posted April 5, 2015 Hey George, the windlass takes up very little space. The stern(anchor) crane and stabilizer arms could be unshipped and displayed on the stand. All the extra barrels are already taken care of. Even with the know items on board, for the life of me, I can't imagine what a miserable mess it was on board! It's surprising they didn't kill half the crew just for some leg room! Hey Mark, thank you for the info for the folks here in Portland. One of my Grandmas favorite things to do was to go on day trips on a sternwheeler. I must have gone with her at least a half a dozen times with her on the Willamette R, Columbia R, and Yaquina Bay. Fun times. I'll have to get in touch with these locals and see what they're up to. Hey CaptainSteve, I'm considering lashing all of the oars together to make a raft-in-tow. The squirrels got a good one to figure out now.
