Without the -- for what we're gonna with -- to strip the three bath before the -- an -- private partnership yeah and what we're doing lovely and let me get back to Ireland who. Visit -- Laminated Douglas fir. And -- we're -- we'll see where this mast step from the progress report the -- and this -- all being made out of native American stock all the material used in his native Americans are basically it's why don't pliable than."

" Her feet bellawood what they're cutting over here looks like -- I don't agree that the -- 11 -- with the -- Paula white all we've got a couple going to be. -- I -- from all the material look. You can talk for a while. Yeah and the -- youthful hope wife got not an American -- model that we can look at that helped them understand the structure of the ship. Inside Bob we have an excellent all right and help a great --"

" I witnessed them. Bob let's of the white oak hull plank of the summit on the outside the ship that above forty feet long -- with them but they're made. Though that we'll go tomorrow on people went along and you bought the hull of the boat. And this -- an idea of how all of the ship is structured what. What are these red members all of read them bits angles that were part of your written specifications for the ship in the 1794. But that's been left out and we're thinking of reinstall them with trying to get Washington to look if they would prefer. Indeed I would add a lot of strength how long wanted to write workbook is the rigging also being replaced definitely leave the third floor your blog -- loft great. How much rigging does a frigate like this required. There's about 27 miles over breaking on the constitution when he seven miles of roll -- hustlers that are. And what's being done here what they're doing here is a hand splicing a symbol into one of Vila more -- fix -- Look -- the -- bracing on the standing rigging the -- to go on the fore the main. And help to support the terminology is almost as impressive as well we're looking that's on the difficulties -- and -- great. Can we actually go aboard ship we certainly can't."
