Thistle17 got a reaction from Saburo in HMS Winchelsea by jfhealey - fully rigged version
You are a brave and determined heart! I too gave up on my first build of Winchelsea after too many compromises. I started with my own frames, strongback etc and although relatively sucessful error started to creep in and things went slowly downhill from there. I am poised to start again but your restart is impressive. I will surely follow your journey! Joe

Glenn on Cheerful I ganged 4 canonn wheels of like diameter on a screw of prpoer diameter. Placed a nut on screw end to secure them. I placed the wheels so that the "fatter" diameter of two wheels faced each other. Then I carefully but ever so lightly turned/sanded them on my lathe. The key is to keep the pairings together once removed. Worked fairly well.

You set the bar quite high Glenn. And I must compliment your photography once again. It compliments your model work so well.

Indeed Gleen virtually impossible to get all the char off given the thickness of the stock and the "dwell" time of the laser. I too had to call it a day before i went too far.

Your deliberate and informative sharing has become an invaluable reference for all of us. And I might add your willingness to share set backs as well as successes is apppreciated. I can't tell you the number of "do overs" I have experienced that have slowed progress and dampened enthusiansim. So when I observe your end result I am encouraged to press on.
I get the same encouragement from Bob Emser (The Art of Boat Building) by oserving his methods of work. Don't know how to pay you any better a compliment!

Thistle17 got a reaction from Joseph A Robles in Speedwell 1752 by druxey - a work in progress
Masterful work by both of you. I hold your works as the quintessential reference of human accomplishment. Hopefully next year in New London it will be there to see up close.

Matt we seem to cast the most critical eye on our works. In our minds eye we hold unforgiving perfection but the execution, to us anyway, never seems to measure up. This pursuit demands so much of us especially with the incredible peers that post here. I'd say you are closing that distance quite well.

Thistle17 got a reaction from Obormotov in A guide to using MSW
Hmmm! Tried this 2X and it did not work. Any other suggestions. Could it be it still recognizes my laptop id?
