Ah Hindsight!!!! Happens a lot in this hobby. Ben -
Always amazes me Paul where you find these old photographs, wish we could do that on our older wooden warships! Build looks awesome as always. Ben

Very interesting discussion about glass and mica uses for glazing, I would never of thought of using actual glass on a model but now I will. Ben
-
That's an interesting serving machine you made there Andy, can you strop blocks on it as well?? Ben
-
Looking forward to that long shot of her. Ben

Gotta say man, I have seen Jeff's holly and it's superb but next to the bloodwood/redheart it looks outstanding, awesome contrast. Every update you do makes me sooo jealous of your skills and insight, I want to gain your skills and insight brother. Ben

Hi Mark, Glad your ok there buddy. As a old woodworking teacher from many years ago told me " if it can move, it can bite you ". A good reminder of just what can happen! ben

Glad to see your inevitable success on the top masts, just think - you have a choice on your next build to not even go near that dangly stuff :-) Ben

Echo by oneslim - cross-section
Trussben replied to oneslim's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Very well done Bob, I will be back to remind myself how you did that when I get back to my build, thanks. nem -
Easy enough for me too even understand - Thanks Rusty. ben

I my opinion the Syren is a great model to build if you like her!! You will never have the impetus to finish a model you don't like, but saying that there is a learning curve to everything to take into account. There are a few Syrens to look at here, Augies especially, go for it if you take a few weeks looking at the logs and your still excited. Ben

Great photo with both of them together toni, you should submit that for the MSW calender. Ben

Nice work on the plug there, I haven't tried that approach before and will be interested to see how you get along with it. Also those blocks look really good as well. Ben

Hi mark, when you say wood supplier, do you mean Jeff? If so is his chest bad again? Intrigued by this deck sander, can't wait to see it. Ben

Thank the gods your back Chris, it's great to see your beautiful Confederacy back on MSW again, really happy the twins and wife are doing well and you may get some time back in the workshop. Will you repost all of your build pics if you get time? Again - happy your back in the saddle and I get to see your wonderful build again. Ben

Good comments in your planking experience JP, it would seem you have learnt all of the major pitfalls, experiences and techniques of planking a hull properly and well, very proud of you for sticking with it, your next model will be a totally different experience because you know what to expect and will want to exceed the quality of your first build. Congrats again man on this milestone. Ben

Rusty, you are getting seriously accomplished with cutting the rabbit with a chisel, when I get setup I'm going to make my keel and rising wood for the Echo again using the JimSaw to see the difference between it and markI hand tool version. Ben
