Very nice work indeed Michael.
I know how tricky curved planking can be. That is already a great improvement, she is going to be a real beauty when she is completed. Martin. ▲

I agree Stevedownunder๐
I too appreciate a 'curvy aft section' never mind the joggling๐๐ BTW It wasn't just your end, the pics are slightly fuzzy, bar one. ๐ ▲

Hi there CDN the clamps are just scrap pieces of oak with a hole drilled through where I use a push pin (notice board type) to push directly into the deck.
The shaft of the pin holds the plank tight against the last plank whist the oak piece holds the new plank down, the hole made by the pin is subsequently covered by the next plank ▲

Great Job with the planking, Mike๐๐
When planking the Seguin and Lobster Boat I used thin CA. I held the plank in place and hit the edge with CA. Still, it was a slow process. I needed frequent breaks. ๐ด Trev ▲

Hi Mike,
Great looking work, I like the joggling of the king plank along with the curvy aft section, quite a bit of work has gone into that, beautiful. Not sure if it is a problem at my end, but the photos are out of focus. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

I have a couple of projects with planked decks to be worked on in the future, and I really like your work. Iโm interested in the clamps you used with what I will call a โthumb buttonโ on one end. I read your description, and saw some general wording, but no specific description.
What are the โthumb buttons made of? Are they glued over the end of the clip after a pin has been driven through each end? I would find a rough sketch helpful. Looks like a great approach for curved planking. ▲

First job back in the 50's was electro plating only Anodes were in in the solution objects were suspended from external rods which completed the circuit either by wire or a jig you had to make instant connection as you attached least movement you could double plate. Everything from taps to Bumpers all were flash copper plated then either Bright Nickel which was then chromed or dull nickelled (Bumpers) which then went back to the polishing shop before chroming

I'm sure this will be up to your usual fine standard Mike,- looking forward to the finished result. Just a suggestion for the rigging,- .020 stainless fishing trace is ideal for stays, - doesn't get tangled like multi strand wire never frays and lasts forever. Most of the racing guys here use it. Just go down through a short length of copper tube, around your chain-plate/turnbuckle, back up through the tube and turn the end over. Crimp copper tube and you'll never pull it out. I ran some solder through the tubes to seal them as well.

Roy thank you so much for pointing me to this mine of information, it will be invaluable in my restoration it shows so many things that aren't on the kit version.

Hi good luck with the restoration. I restored my one maybe 15 years ago, it was a gift, and it took a while. I made sure the stanchions had a firm base to sit in with reinforcing the wood under the deck. I could not work out how to get inside the hull without taking the rear mast out, so left it as designed.
I have since by shear good fortune obtained an unused set of sails and these were installed 3 years ago. Sails as you say with very little help from the bank. Lovely boat the full size boat was up for sale maybe 2 years ago and the photos of the original are still there to see. ▲
