Greetings...

Is the jack staff welded to place? How did you make the top part of the mast? If only we could see a closer pic of that.

The life rafts are pretty impressive. Should n't there be some oars near by? Attached maybe?

Well Guys, I will be stopping the build for awhile, I am going to post 11 photo,s 1 each day, they were taken in the garden in some nice light.

As for the mast ,it was soldiered , the jack staff was fitted though a hole that I drilled into the mast and then soldiered, the button on the mast was a brass port hole soldiered on top, as for the OARS, :jest: :jest:

Duane is looking great also. Can't wait to see her finished. :wave_1: :wave_1:

I'm loving it, too! And knowing all of the craftmanship that lies beneath the top layers makes it even more impressive, to me.
