Teutonic knight c. 1200 by wefalck
Jack12477 replied to wefalck's topic in Completed non-ship models
Very nice figure & diorama, Wefalck. -
If it was me, I would try to salvage the side pieces, first soak in water until wet, careful not too long or the ply might delaminate, then using a hair dryer try to flatten out the curvature, one piece at a time, go SLOW. Once flat clamp between 2 pieces of 1/2 inch or thicker hardwood, cherry, oak, maple. Let sit overnight. Unclamp and see how it looks. If necessary, reclamp and let sit for another 24 hours. It doesn't have to be perfectly flat since it will conform to hull curvature anyway.

Sorry to hear that news Michael, but better to get it corrected now before it gets any worse. Best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Minimum plank length
Jack12477 replied to Don Case's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
If the minimum plank length is 25 ft and the ship is 110 ft, then two 40 ft long planks plus a 30 ft plank would meet the minimum length specified in the contract (40+40+30=110 or 30+30+25+25=110). Minimum does not preclude using longer length boards, but it does preclude using shorter lengths, as in your example, 10 ft, 15 ft or 20 ft. -
Ryland, it is under Account Settings in your profile

It also makes using the J-stroke to keep the canoe on track easier to execute, especially if solo.

Hmmmm ! I always knelt in the bottom a canoe with my tush resting against a thwart. Never sat in the bottom of a canoe. Wonder what paddling from that position is like. Anyway, beautiful looking canoe, Chris. Great job building her.

Just to let you all know, the boat building is on hold while I do some outdoor work on my 25 year old wood fence which is slowly disintegrating with age. Have to replace several 8 ft long panels, cannibalize usable pickets to replace rotted/broken pickets, and deal with short supplies at the lumberyards. Lumber prices have soared at least 200%, quality is down, what used to be a 48 inch (4 foot) height is now 42 inch (3.5 foot) height. Grrrr! So before the heat and humidity get prohibitive it's time to make repairs.

Looking good from here. Sorry about the MIA part.

I guess that's why they call them "trestle table", you could drive a train over them or a team of oxen pulling a hay wagon.

My Admiral would kill for a table like that ! 😃🤪 Beautiful table
-
Your farm table closely resemble what we here in The Colonies call a "picnic table", which are in just about every public park/beach/playground area here. And in some private backyards.

The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) School of Photography started a project in 1987 called Big Shot which created photographs on a grand scale painted with flashlights, flash bulbs and strobs. See the link for their examples.

Yes I tried color in the home darkroom and after much frustration and failed attempts concluded it was way cheaper to send my 35 mm color negatives or slides/transparencies directly to Kodak and have them make an 8x10 color, or larger, print for me than doing it myself. So the home darkroom was strictly B&W.

Back in the days of film, ISO/ASA 50 film had a much finer grain than ISO 200. Most Pros and serious Amateurs used Kodachrome 25 because of grain issues.
