Simon posted a pic on the old site, here's a couple of update photos if I have followed Simon's instructions correctly. The boat is a 20ftx 4ft 6inch Herreshoff style from a plan in MIT Museum , and will be called "Corra Linn" after a waterfall on the River Clyde near my home. Work has stopped for the winter with the oak coaming part laminated, as it's too cold for the epoxy glue - and also for the builder. The clothes pegs have been returned to the washing line bag.

You have done a super job with the boat. The fore deck looks magnificent and the seams appear to be very consistent. That was a job I found very difficult.
I look forward to seeing further progress.

Re: John's New Boat Progress
Thanks Pete. I spaced the deck joints with scraps of 4mm ply with parcel tape protection against the glue, held vertically. They are not all that consistent close up - you are right, it is a tricky job to do well.
Thanks also Den and well spotted. The teak veneer for the deck came in strips about a foot wide, and comprised consecutive slices from the log. When I offered up two pieces to think about making the covering boards, the bookmatching potential was too obvious to ignore! Isn't boatbuilding great fun. John
