Made a spar gauge for work today. Came out to within a couple tenths mm of accuracy. That felt kinda awesome

Can't show you the project, can show you the fleet. Making spars for a square rigger is: lots of hand planing

We have a rig now! Most of one, anway. Currently working on the jib boom. Only other thing missing is the fore staysail boom.

No, they're not the same thing. Both the jib and the fore stays'l are set from the jib boom, but only the fores'l is boomed. Look, nautical jargon is hard to explain and I didnt come up with it, ok? Gimme a break

Friends! Romans! Woodworkers! Don't lend out your planes! They end up on the wrong whetstones.

I've been thinking about the continuum of DIY hopepunk culture. (example: Mastodon users are a collection of people who share tips on bicycle repair and have cells with broken screens) Are you aware of good essays on DIY culture?

For me this includes things like #boatbuilding #growyourown #hopepunk fiction #bikeTooter #qrp #morsecode #baking #sewing making your own #musicvideo #chiptune ...

There are others. I want to write an essay.

First chips on #Samanthe have been made!

That blank will become the two masts, some gorgeous tight grained oregon pine. With offcuts like this flying around, can one ask for more? #woodworking #boatbuilding #modelmaking #bootsbau #Modellbau

She's in frame! Just a whole boatload of notches and tabs left to do so it can be precisely assembled with confidence without too much fettling.
