Thanks for sharing your build of Temptress model with us and for revealing the little snags and solutions along the way. Let no one be in any doubt as to the skill required to see a project like this through to a successfull conclusion. It not only requires the skills but also dedication and resources. Having gone through a few builds of small boats I find that a time comes to dust my garage, enjoy a cup of tea & take a break. (Otherwise the job in hand goes wrong and takes longer to complete). There is a host of hand skills needed - here is a simple tip told to me by Alex Stone (Salcombe Boat Builder) : Sandpaper with the heel of the hand rather than the fingers - I find its not always appropriate but generally it works well. ✋🤚

makes me realize that those amazingly beautiful wooden boats are - beautiful "inside and out" Historical"
Looking great!
Enjoying hearing your thought process.
Glad to hear it! I'm never sure if it's completely boring or not hearing me "think out loud".
the longitudinal bracing reminds me of building wooden airplane fuselages when I was a kid !!
Great milestone!
Good progress!
Very good structure, but very shaky video. You need to be more aware of the "viewers" perspective when shooting these videos.
