I couldn't wait 10 pages if I tried. I have to see it as soon as I notice it.

Some details about how to lay out the transom for the laps would be nice to see. I am doing a Catspaw and would like to do her lapstrake. Have yet to get to the point where I need to have that...

Just awesome work.

Beautiful. Now, how about a few British tea clippers? I have a favourite in mind.....

That looks really cool.

Cindy Lou Who? Who was no more than to. ;)

Must feel terrible running into all that boatbuilding wood by accident. You should send some this way. We hardly have any left.

More about that drill press? Looks like it could do a whole lot more than any drill press I've ever used.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it so clearly Luke. Much appreciated by everyone I'm sure.

Just looking at the shadowing and shading I see a beautiful hull shape. Get a half hull or full model of her built quick so we can see her "fleshed out" as it were. :)

Oh, nearly forgot; welcome to the forum Bill.

Pics of her? :)

Bill,
Stop by my house one day, have a look through my bookshelf. You're welcome to whatever is there that you think may help you out. I'm sure there are at least a dozen books that will help you...

What a feeling.

John Gardner's book Building classic small craft has all you need. Table of offsets, some construction drawings and descriptions. My brother and I have been talking about that lately and I just...

I received a PM suggesting we start a thread. Perhaps Scott could put a sticky on this one and we could use it to remember those who have crossed the bar. Scott?

I know it's been a while since I have posted any progress. That's because very little progress has happened. I did however finish up my lofting table and lay down the grid to loft the boat. I'm about...

Maybe a "dearly departed" thread is needed? Something where notices can be posted and dear forum members remembered by those of us awaiting our turn.

How about an article about the upkeep of historic ships such as HMS Victory and the Charles W. Morgan? There's a thread going on right now about the Morgan that is absolutely enthralling.
Lots of...

How about Hercules Linton? I'd love to read up on him. He designed what is arguably the most famous merchant sailing ship in history, Cutty Sark. Talk of her build, the yard, the bankruptcy etc would...

Got any details on that shop you're working in? Looks like it may be just what I'm looking for. Length, height, width, materials etc.?

I couldn't help but throw pics of my black lab Sambuca into a few of my canoe build photos as well. She's a great kindling maker. Leave a piece of wood lying around and in no time you have kindling.

Sounds like you've messed it up royally. Nothing for it but to send the boat to me for disposal and start anew. Don't want a cracked rib in her now do ya?

Cool shelter Thad. Got one to build a 57 foot schooner? :D

Baby bootlegger is to my eye by far the most beautiful power boat ever designed.

Time to reconstruct the thread I guess. Too bad, it was a great little thread.

Love the shot of both hulls hauled out at once.

To be continued? You can't just stop there.......... :(

Kinda big to be mugs, I'd call them jugs. :D

Baby Bootlegger is my all time favorite power boat. All curves and sexy as all get out. If I were to have a power boat, that would be the design I'd build from.

Google plywood scarphing jig. There are a ton of ideas out there from the simple block plane to belt sanders to routers and circular saw jigs. Most simply involve stacking the sheets in step form at...

Rod,
Any updates for us?

Video game controllers are hardly adequate training for swinging a big hammer! :D

Carriers and SSNs are FAST. How fast? VERY fast. Blow your mind, it's nearly impossible to comprehend fast. I'll leave it at that.

How come nobody has mentioned conception bay or come by chance? Then, there's always Dildo.

Mine has no particular specialty though I find I feel like working on different projects more often and for longer periods when I have the hat on.

The fact that "La Vie en Rose" is actually one of the competitors of a certain "Victoria's Secret" chain didn't have anything to do with it? :D :D :D :D

Geographical breakdown, identifying features of the tree as it stands, the wood once it's milled, what it looks like rift and 1/4 sawn, leaves, fruit etc. Could be a big book if it covers...

Not quite. We need a report on her after the reballasting and a few more sailing shots next year. As well as a report on how she handles, what' she's like...... You ain't done this thread yet! :)

My first thought was also "why run the strip so far up the stem". I think you may be making it more difficult for yourself needlessly as you mentioned. Haven't built a boat like that but from...

Heartwrenching.

She was featured in our host magazine a number of years ago. Article detailed her build etc. Very much a community group effort to help out in her construction. She is a beautiful boat. I think...

Tenner,
Any plans to take Turtle Bay down the mighty St. Lawrence? My family has a cottage just by Riviere du Loup and if you needed to drop anchor for a night ln the way past Brandy Pot Island,...

TRES TRES cool!

Pics always help. :) We can better see what you're talking about that way.

So the mystery remains........ The report will be an interesting read when it finally does come out. I worry though, it's been a tough few years for sailing ships with Mrs. Gainey being washed over...

Needs a new thread for the new contest though. I agree the iBoat is most like an appartment so far.

Loading them must have been one heckuva job. I suspect sink the carrier, load one, sink again, load the next, each time flooding the barges as well..... Not sure how that would be done. Anybody know...

Alex,
SHOWOFF!
Nice spar gauge though. :)

Good thing I'm a member then. Happy Birthday Peter. I hope one day to be able to make it to TB when she's afloat. :)
