Lawrence, this will be great to see a POB from scratch. Is that 1/4" ply?
Keep up the great descriptions.

Hello Donnie
I thank you for your visit to my build log. For your very kind words and nice comments. Yes, I will remove some or most of the paper later on when it is not needed any longer. However it must be a nice day as I would paint it with varsol and then peel it off, sure do not want to smell up the house, my Admiral would not like that and then I do have a slight allergy to varsol, ENJOY.

Hello Doug
I do thank you very much for your visit to my build log on the Golden Hinde. For your very kind words and nice comments. The plywood is 3/16 or 5 mm birch aircraft plywood that is rather a very nice quality to it but just a bit pricey.
I am off to a rather slow start, due to the small size of this ship and trying to figure out my build plans that I do find very challenging. I have never built such a small ship like this before, I would much like the HMS Bounty or the HMS Victory size as they are much easier to get a grip on, maybe I am just a bit spoiled. But then again the Old Ship Yard is slowly taking over our home, ENJOY.

Hello Ship Mates
I again thank you all for your many visits to my build log on the little Gallon the Golden Hinde. For your kind words and very nice comments.
Back in the Old Ship Yard the little fellows and I have spent the last couple of days adjusting and replacing a few of the frames and preparing for the Main and the Second Deck by adding the deck standoffs. Now we must mark out and notch out some of out frames to make room for the cannons that will be installed below the Main DECK. This all seems like a lot of work for such a little ship as the Golden Hinde on a scale of 1:60, ENJOY.

It might be a lot of hard work and you enjoy it. Perfection does not come easy.
Keep up the hard work
Cheers

Hello Geoff
Thanks very much for your visit to my build log, and for your very nice words and comments. No, this ship building really is not work but an enjoyment and it sure eats up a lot of idle hours in the Old Ship Yard. Things should start moving along a bit faster after I get the cannon frames cut out as then I can install the main deck and then the deck planking, ENJOY
Regards Lawrence
Hello Lawrence,good progress,just wondering why you don't build the Golden Hinde in a bigger scale??!!

Hello Zoltan
I thank you very much for your visit to my build log on the little Gallon the Golden Hinde. For your very kind words and nice comments. The size is one of the big factors of why I chose to build in the 1:60 scale. However, I did not realize just how small she would be, she sure is a challenge to build at this scale. But it sure keeps things very interesting, and I wanted to see if I could build a little ship. Not because I like to but our home is being slowly taken over by the Old Ship Yard, and a little ship like the Golden Hinde at 1:60 will fit in almost anywhere, ENJOY.

Back in the Old Ship Yard the little fellows and I are very slowly moving ahead with our little ship. We have finished adjusting the keel and frames and glued them in place. We have notched out a few of the frames to make room for our cannons and installed the mounting timbers for the cannons. We have built the Ploop deck extension or the upper Gallery. We have drilled the frames for the masts but not the one on the Bow, as it is so close to the end of the keel that we are afraid that it will break off and therefore must wait until we install the Cur Water to strengthen up this area. We have also notched out the Main Deck for the Grating and the Companionway to make room for the stairs and we also want to add a few Led's in this area. ENJOY.

Hello Geoff
I thank you very much for your visit to my build log, for your very kind words and overly nice comments. I am slowly moving ahead, but keep finding little things that I do not like and change them again and again, this is one of the joys of ship building that I love, no fixed set of rules. Have been thinking over a plan for the Led Lighting so I can put in an order. Most of this stuff must be installed inside of the hull. So now is the time to get those lights installed. I do believe that I do have it figured out, but will leave it for another day or so, ENJOY.

Back in the Old Ship Yard the little fellows and I cut out the two plywood decks, one for the companionway ladder and the larger for below the main deck Grating. This AM we fired up the Byrnes table saw and cut the deck planking our of cherry wood. For these decks, we used 2 x 5 mm or .078 x 019", this little saw is truly amazing at just how easy it can cut these very thin strips. Later on, we glued them to our plywood and stained them with a coat of Tung Oil and installed the two lower decks to our little ship, well it's a start,
ENJOY

Hi Lawrence,
Your ship is looking good. It looks like you used a thick plywood for your bulkheads and keel. Good idea. :greetings-clapyellow: :handgestures-thumbup:

Hello Mike
I thank you very much for your visit to my build log, For your very kind words nice comments. Yes, the plywood is a little heavy for such a little ship as the Golden Hine. I am using a 3/16" or 4.75 mm for the keel and also the frames. This thickness was recommended to me by Popeye many years ago and it seems to work quite well for me, ENJOY.

Hello Ship Mates
Another little update, the little fellows and I have drilled the keel and added the two nuts that will be used a bit later on for the mounting of our ship to her Cradle and the mounting board. Afterward, we have also installed the four nut retainer strips to keep them in place in the keel until they are used to mount our ship, ENJOY.

Learn something in every post..
I was going to use wood screws for mounting since I have not decided how I might want to do a mounting. Given the narrowness and softness of the central keel an embedded nut is more secure. I guess I need to sketch out a layout before I enclose the hull.
Thanks for the good work.

You are adding a keel later?

Thanks for the visit to my build log. For your very kind words and comments. I have found that embedding a nut in the hull to work very good for me, just be careful not to go to large with your pilot hole as you could break out, but then you could always add reinforcement if needed. Yes, I will be adding a false keel. On the bow mast, it is so close to the forward edge it has me nervous and I will not drill it until after the keel is installed making it much stronger, ENJOY.

Hi Lawrence,
That is a clever idea. I would never have thought of that. :handgestures-thumbup:

Hello Ship Mates
I thank you all for the many visits you have made to my build log. For your very kind words and nice comments. Well, summer is upon us up here in Cold Country Canada, this afternoon the temperature rose to 90 F or 30 C. Trying to get some of the outside yard work caught up but it is just too hot out there to do much work so have returned to the much cooler Old Ship Yard.
Back in the Old Ship Yard the little fellows and I have been busy planking the Counter and cutting out the port for the Rudder Post and the two below deck cannons and we have also added these two cannons just to see how they would look. We still have to line these gun ports but that will come much later. We have also plankes the upper stern gallery and now we must mark out and cut out the Gallery door and the two side windows. Kind of makes me wish that I had added 1/16" or 1.60 mm instead od the 3/16 or 5.18 mm that makes cutting out these details just a bit harder, ENJOY.
