I have been traveling a bit and so away from my work shop. But i am back and should finish the port strakes today.

Here we go guys

Has anyone ever come across this ropewalk? I purchased it 20 years ago and never used it and am now trying to get it up and running but have no instructions. Lots of the parts have rotted out and need to be changed.

The result of this journey was my fully documenting the process in a paper and continues to evolve as more data gets discovered. I am now on the journey of looking for the plans of her sister ship the St Patrick. I came across a model that was in the science Museum in london and is now in Prison in a warehouse. This model could not have been built without access to the original ship plans. So far i have been unable to find the plans but the journey continues. I am in touch with the curator of the science museum but she has not been able to find the plans. The journey continues.

this came up in my memories today. Its an excellent history of the research that went into the building of this scratch built model of the steam ship Naparima.

Brides are wonderful people.i used this video to make the shooting board. i should have made it 6” longer.

Gregs comment “Maybe an optical illusion but the first gunport (not the bridle port) looks a bit short.” i have checked all the gun ports. the forward gunport is 27” high and 18” wide, aft is 27” high and 24” wide and all others are 27” high and 28” wide. So unless i have my measurements off the plan they are all ok.

Hi Toni when i buy a tool i usually buy all the accessories, so i have had the fence since i purchased the original saw.

I like the contrast.Henry

I have the Preac fence. Ill be checking all the ports this week. I hope not because i checked and corrected them before i started the planking.anyway if its too small thats an easy fix, if it too large thats a pain in the butt.

Large soldering pad/board arrived along with ceramic pins for holding stuff that will not provide a heat sink. The silver soldering station is now complete.

I am just putting mine in through the outer planking and it was a bit of a struggle.

How Realistic Can One Make Sails?

Not sure if this is what Maury had in mind. I use to have various jigs for the Preac sander and most of the time had to remove the cover to keep the piece from flying off. Also the paper roll would turn the piece when i pushed it through. I would love to see what you guys do. Now that i am using this it would have been great if the aluminum base extended back another 6 inches, to make sure i push the sled in flat. It has a tendency to lift at the front.

All hooked up to the vacuum system. I don't know why i can find this adaptor to fit my system.
