Hello everyone,
Well I guess it's time to start my build log. I just received my monograph of the Le Rochefort from ANCRE. The order shipped on 12/5. Seven days from France to Florida. I love ANCRE's customer service. I have the book "An Introduction to Model Ship Building Dockyard Style" and I have actually been reading it. As this is a first attempt at a POF, I have also gotten several books to help along the way.
I have a few housekeeping chores to do before I do any real work. I bought a new scroll saw that I have been needing for some time. I will need to set it up and do some practicing cutting before I actually use it. I was getting my band saw ready ready for use and the drive belt broke. I will need to order a new belt. The shop needs a little straightening up. I have been working on my Occre Endurance and the shop is a little messy. While I build the Le Rochefort, I plan to continue to work on the Endurance. I find that sometimes when I get stuck or frustrated at some point of a build it helps to change focus for a little while. Most times I have more than one project going at a time. The next thing I will need to do is to decide on what wood I am going to use. So far I have been thinking of using a combination of cherry and beech, But I have also been thinking of using just beech.
Let the fun begin!
