Prostheta Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Seriously though, that's super cool for a kid's imagination. You're the father you always wanted your kids to have if you do that, man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtisa Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I say, old beans! Sounds like we're in for a spot of high tea on the high seas. I'll bring the jam and scones, you bring the kettle. What what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu. Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I love the kind of thread derailing that happens on PG! It's always so cultured and polite. The mandolin is looking seriously sharp too! Those skills never disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks, I'm starting to get kind of excited about what started out as just sticking my toe into some new waters, to see how they swirl so to speak. That tiny little neck is really kind of fun to work on and just hold. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 At this rate Scott, we should be moving this over to General Chat and renaming it as a "Misc Things...." thread. Feel free to start another build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 So...dragging the thread kicking and screaming back onto the rails....how come I've missed this thread in its entirety up until now? OK - the abduction by the aliens took my mind off things for a while but, heck, this is a bit worrying. It looks fantastic, Scott ...and did someone mention tea?

Middle of the Pacific and it would be, "Oh Andy - be a pal and just row out in the dinghy a few yards. We need to check how the schooner's sitting against the Plimsoll Line." A sudden deployment of the mainsail and GOTM is yours back in contention... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
