  1. Hi all

    I have just received a new knife handle and am so impressed with it that I thought you would like to know about it

    it is by Veritas they class it as a carving knife but I find that it is useful as my general knife handle for most operations

    It will take most blades x acto or scalpel blades . Because it has an oval handle it will not roll off the bench which is a good safety feature . It is not cheap but I feel that it is worth the money

  2. Thanks Antony and Clare for your advise the only thought I had was that the deck would look odd if where the planks were nibbed intp the margin plank they would be out of sync port/starboard

    but i think that would be less noticable when covered by the guns etc than the centre furniture not looking correct

     

    Sorry Antony I havn't done a build log I have some photo's so maybe I should

     

    Thanks

  3. just a thought

    I am sort of building the same kit that I bought from E bay a problem I had was that there was no fittings with it (they were sold seperatly on early Billings kits)

    Billings do not supply them as seperate items anymore and they are a MAJOR part of the finished model if you don't have them then I would strongly suggest that you either buy a new complete kit and pretend it is your grandads but as been said before the Wasa isn'y realy a good first model and I think you will get very disheartened and maybe put off the wonderful hobby we all (mostly) enjoy

  4. Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but things have been a bit busy at work and with family and as I have said before I tend to be a bit of a lurker often on the site but not very often posting . I guess we are all our own worst critics but I never feel that my work stands up to criticism compared to the excellent work shown on the site.

    But here goes with a few pictures of my work so far
