  1. good evening everyone, day 344-48 sorry about the pants photos, but now the freezer has moved out of the mancave, and its waining, so no wheelie bin, plus the mancave has had a bit of a sort out so i have to find somewhere to take the shots for tonight spent some time tidying up the front end, but even tonight i see the spirit yard is not sitting right i will label up a lot of the lines in the next day or so but today was sorting out the fore mast truss, i have to cut the lines to the jeers to do that, serves me right for not doing it in order (again) horses still to be sorted, but in the right place and lots of loose ends still
  2. im sure no prod was required, you just want to blame me for something

  7. good evening everyone sorry for not doing my pointless daily updates, quite a lot going on in my life at present, one of them being the new pup anyway Indy day 252-16 completed redo of main lower ratline yep i completely ignored @chris watton instructions, to use natural hemp provided thread, and stain black, yet again i did it my way, ordered black in various sizes, which arrived and i used the wrong ones, however they look ok ish, i might replace one or two of the saggy ones, but in the right lighting you cannot see them
  8. getting them in the same room is quite an achievement, boating gets done in his sleep period
  9. and for those asking here is a puppy update 8th October 20th October taken today
  10. good evening everyone build log 240-14 main mast shrouds and ratlines very little progress being made, but today the starboard main lower rats were completed,
  11. no boating today, we have a new English Show Cocker Spaniel puppy his name is Apollo (kennel name Albertean Apollo) and was 8 weeks old today, i wont fill my log up with Doggie Photos but wish i could the Older Boi you may know as Dobbie aged 8, i think they will be very good friends, but he is avoiding the little boi like the plague when awake
  12. good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 215-8 18ft cutter taking a break from rigging i have a fear of ships boats to overcome, i have never successfully built one, so i started with the smallest of the Indys boat set the 18ft cutter
  13. good evening everyone thank you for all comments and likes day 213 -8 forestay snaking - possible subject to a redo having completed both sides of the lower forestay shrouds and rats i moved forward to put the forestay and preventer snaking in, having now done them twice now they still dont look right, i have adequate tightness on the stays and the snaking thread is not pulling them in, but at a distance they look like they are being pulled together
  14. good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 209- Port side fore mast lower ratlines im finally happy with something
