Looking very nice indeed

The bow is looking quite tricky and fiddley trying to dry fit it all before gluing anything in place but proving difficult, but enjoying the challenge 
Amazing work!!

Got a bit of a problem you guys might be able to help with , I have to taper the masts the only problem is my mini lathe wont take the length needed.
Any help from people who have done masts before would be gratefully accepted

Panic over the other half has bought me a belt/disk sander for valentines day
Did a bit this afternoon
The bow sprite is proving tricky to say the least there is a lot of angles to consider and precise cuts lets hope I don't cock it up
The end cap for the other mast are all pre cut, why this one wasn't I don't know

The reason I'm doing the bow sprite now is the gammoning saddles and gammoning lashings are going to be very awkward to do when all the bow is built up so going to get that out the way
Yet another rigging word I had to Google!

Am I to take it they were tied on with bacon lol.
While waiting for my sander I thought I would do a bit of rigging some cannons
my new sander should make tapering the masts a whole lot easier.
my new knife (loving it)

Looks a nice sander Brian. I've not seen an ultrasonic knife before; I hope you'll write a review when you've used it.
