TW28 Stoere meid

[vla]

The first real step has been made, the beginning of the build of the Stoere meid (= Tough girl)

It took some time, but just 5 minutes ago I orderd the plywood-kit for the TW28.
And now the great waiting has started, but also questions as:
-Will everything go well?
-When will the plywood arrive?

I will keep you informed

Hi Allard

Congratulations on being another TW28 builder! Looking forward to seeing your project come together. Please post photos of your progress if you can.

Hallo Allard,

Good luck with the build.
I like the name, the TW28 is a 'Stoere Meid'. It is interesting that one needs a name first, before building a ship. We thought 'Luka' would be a temporay name, but it appears that it will be it.

Enjoy it.

Thank you guy's for the congratulations.

Joel Shine just sent me a mail that he will keep me informed about the progress. Well that's nice but he should not write emails, he should start cutting!
I have a good building place just at the other side of the street. Yesterday I was at the epoxy-shop and we have figured out what to use, the Amercan materials do not correspond with what is available in the Netherlands. For those who are not afraid of Dutch, this is the web-site: www.polyservice.nl So everything is prepared.

Yes Peter, it is funny that one gives the boat a name in such an early stage. I think at has something to do with emotions. It isn't a thing like a car. Yes there are people who give their car a name (Herby (in the movie) for instance). Just the TW28 is to abstract, there are more TW28's, but this one is going to be mine, so I want to indicate it more precise, its going to be a member of my club.

Oh, my hands itch (is that an English/American expression?)

"Itchy fingers" means you are ready to do it. Ready to start or more specifically, ready to "pull the trigger".

Welcome aboard..

Try enjoy building her as it is a big and lots of boat to built..

I have printed out all the pictures of Macca, Peter, Yavuz and Cumhur's before I started my built.. It is always good to have them beside as sometimes you wonder around the plans and can't find a solution but a pic is worth a thousand words.
try to read some well documented threads. even though they may be small boats but the logic is the same and you can get some neat ideas.. I did that first hand...

Other than that, if you have questions, people here are helpful and someone will dive to help...

Good luck

Ilker
