小女人续集

前面给大家介绍了我认识的小女人 - 好朋友 Jean， 今天有想继续上次的内容加点续集。。。

好朋友Jean又在一个月内完成了一艘美丽的木船的制作，昨天有幸被邀请参加了此船的下水仪式。也荣幸认识了她的不少小手工业的爱好者，他们把业余爱好提升到了最佳境界。用先进的科技给自己的设计和制作添鹰加翅，他们用的不少木匠机器比一辆豪车都贵，可他们平时的日子都过的很节俭，真是做到了叫花子耍大刀，该出手时就出手。是我欣赏的洒脱生活风格。那个小船是大船缩小四倍的模型。Jean的模型船制作是在美国很有名气的行家，给自己造船玩纯属玩到了疯狂的风口浪尖上。牛！就因为喜欢造船，把家都按在了湖边，家里大大小小有八艘船了，还在继续造船中。也好，我们去她家划船时还可以舰队比赛。是不是真的很牛！

This beautiful boat build by Jean Preckel, She started building it in April and finished in September, 2019. The wood she used is paulownia which came from a friend who lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The boat is dark 
green on the bottom, light green on the cap rail and the inside is varnished. there are 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of varnish. The name of the boat is Tinkerbell. 

There were more than 30 people at the launching party at 9/14/2019.

The steps to build a boat are:
 1) set up the frames, stem and transom (build it upside-down)
 2) put the bottom on
 3) attach the planking 
 4) turn it over
 5) put on the gunwale, cap rail and seats
 6) paint and varnish

She also made the model of this boat with four times smaller than this real boat, they both are beautiful and very valuable.   Well done Jean!
