I have made a great many mistakes so far correctable one of my main problems is gluing and placing items I no good patterns go cut outs on wood when i go to place it I can not get good grip on initial placement I am using Titebond II and a drop of CA, it worked in past but not on this a lot of stuff to scrape off. I always start with Garboard strake on other models by using tape and cutting out pattern on this one I tried 3 times to get Garboard correct it made benda as much as 1in.from Stem to Stern no way to place it correctly I then reviewed your build and saw yoy started fro the Sheer Strake I tried tha so far it is working hope it continues that way, Why could I not get Garbord to work out. Thanks Don Farr | ||

Well I decided to finish sealing the boat with sanding sealer. i also decided to build my display board and mount the Batteau before I go on with the spares and such. If you remember my little board I rigged to help me put the bow in to the flat bottom of the boat which I missed early in the build. Well I decided it made for a nice little display board. A little black felt,,,,,1/8th square basswood for trim, and a couple of left-over barrels from my Bounty Launch and there you go... I also decided to display the oars and hook pole on the board rather then clutter the inside of the Batteau.... So now it's time to turn thinks and continue on.... here are a few pictures from different angles... BFNMF..........     | ||

I started at the sheer because figure when it came to the garboard at the bottom i would end up with a little materail left to sand off flush with the boat floor. It worled out like I wanted it to. Plus the other reason was there were going to be onlt 4 strakes. Should not be a problem.... i am glad it is working out. I use a glue bottle with a needel tip. Mixed at 2 to 1 with water. Just enough so it will flow thru the needle tip. then I have a cotton swab with a wooden handle. Which I sanded the tip to the shape of a scraper. I use it as soon as i have my piece secure. I start scraping before it dries....hope this helps you out.... mario | ||

Since I did have experience working with Ebony Gabon I knew the warning of the type of wood. You might say you can treat it like a Bee Sting. Some people get stung and get a hard pinch feeling. Few with be rushed to the hospital because the glands swell up and they can't breath. So with Gabon you should wear a respirator or the very least a paper face mask. Plus eye protection. The danger comes from the dust of the Ebony Gabon. Ebony can cause eye irritation, respiratory problems, or even a skin irritation. So me I was going to live with the skin irritation if the ebony bothered me. Because from my high school we were taught to never wear long selves when working with a lathe. So no long selves for me in this case.... but with all these negatives with ebony it is a very wonderful wood that was born to be turned... easy to work with. But you must use HSS turning tools because if it's hardness... SO EVERYONE HERE ARE MY RESULTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS LITTLE CANNON.... A WHOLE LOT OF PITURES...COMING UP(28) B y F or N ow M y F riends           | ||
