discussion Brian's Sovereign of the seas

[Bri62]

Finished the first deck, sanded and applied a bit of danish oil which has darkened it somewhat, it should dry a bit lighter

 

[Bri62]

Going to go the extra mile and drill and tree nail each plank (I must be mad lol )

Clearly certifiable.

No Idea how it will turn out but hoping good

 

[Bri62]

Your all going to think I mad, but I have stripped the deck and started again (unhappy with how it turned out)

 

[Steven000]

Well as long as you're having a good time all is still good I guess goodluck with the 2nd attempt

 

[Bri62]

goodluck with the 2nd attempt

Thanks mate appreciated.

....yeah, you crazy plenty, but the Victory rigging solidified that fact. Re-dos are sometimes necessary to maintain mojo.

Hi Brian

I have never tried to tree nail a deck. What I have done is just mark the nail positions with a fine black felt pen, like your first pictures. That in itself seems to me to simulate the deck nailing pretty well.
