As we all know, those fine details take an inordinate amount of time. Good luck!dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-59153172772580472482014-12-01T20:03:57.047-08:002014-12-01T20:03:57.047-08:00Thank you Michael.

Still finishing up all of those little ( and some not so little) details. I still have most of the rigging to work out, adding a bumkin for proper sheeting angle on the mizzen, a drain, finishing the hatch covers, leathering the jaws, make a few knees, finishing up the tabernacle, and some bits for mounting and hanging the standing rigging from the mainmast among other things. You know, just little stuff like that.<br />I did finish the rudder the other day and Im very happy with that.<br />Sails are done but Ive yet to make time to go and check them out. Soon.<br />Many thanks again to Kees for all of his help. He is an absolutely great teacher and I will always be grateful to him.Bill Bronaughnoreply@blogger.com
