Yup, she's on the mend. One boat unit ($1K) later. Haven't heard from Peter. I know he's got some stuff on his plate but he'll be there if he can.Good to hear the pus is getting better.I can't wait for that video.I hope Peter can come over and lend a thumb er 10.
I'm scratching my head right along with you.
Ya got fleas there Ben? :lol:
This morning I finished Friggin' with my Riggin'! I bought a 1' section of 5/16" chain to hang the pulley block from. Worked perfectly. Replaced the hook with two 5/16" Quick Links and it now has freedom of movement needed.
Also finished up the last beam on the turning frames.
So that's it. Turning frame & rigging is DONE! Next step is the dissembly of the strongback & forms so I can lower the hull & turning frames to the floor.
More pics etc. on the web log. http://she-kon.blogspot.ca/2014/08/done ... iggin.html
It's still not right. I'll post an update later today.I am right with ya on that post,er gin pole.That's a little trickier set up than one would think.

So I got friends out there on the Interwebs. Friends who know stuff I don't. Thank the Heavenly Boat Maker!
Last iteration (I hope).
What I failed to recognize is that the cable end hook and the pulley block will rotate upwards and outwards away from the pole as the hull rotates. The cable hook will go almost (if not over) 90 degs outwards and the pulley block will move outwards about 45 degs.
Oh the thought did cross my mind! More than once!You should have went ahead and roller her over.
Isn't there some sort of ceremony before the roll to the boat builders god............
May they be with you!
