Have you tried Jeff Hayes @ Hobbymill?? He ships all over the world and can normally supply anything, the shipping price may be expensive though. You can get to his site from a link on the main forum page. ben -
Awesome job on those joints there Rusty, Good practice for the ECHO and BOMB. Do you use chisels and files for the mortices only?? ben

Hi Grant - Yeh, I'm not sure which it is either but then ignorance can sometimes be bliss. Sjors - First purchase will be the Jim Byrnes table saw with a few add-ons, we will see how much if any money is left after that. ben

Well this is a happy day! I was just informed by my boss that we will be receiving a bonus cheque this year!! :-)) I asked the admiral of the house and she said I can spend it how I wish!! I told her that Byrnes model machines was gonna take the lot to upgrade my workshop with some fine tools to help start my darkside career, she smiled sideways and said " whatever you need ". Ahhh! Love works in soooo many ways! Ben

Augie, I feel that we deserve some sort of update to keep us away from these diversions that plague your build log! I don't care what it is, even a pic of you snow shoveling will do :-) Ben

Wow Bob - very nice setup you have there!! Some nice machines which will help a lot. I'm still in the process of getting everything I want for scratch building, money is my issue!! Have fun. Ben -
Awesome work with that ebony ring Danny, i know it's so hard but very brittle as well, looks great finished. Ben
-
Well done and some great progress there Sjors, you will be in the rigging soon!!! Ben

Good to see you pounding along again, won't be long until you finish covering her bones. Ben

Wow mobbsie, back to flank speed I see, can't wait to see the second planking finished tomorrow. :-) Ben

Very nice work there, another beautiful Syren, Chuck must be so proud. Ben

Now Now Rusty, Dont set him off!! Remember Im doing 3 builds the same as you! Sjors - I think Rusty would have more experience than I on tying ratlines anyway - send the Mirage to him for a few weeks, he can try 4 builds at once. ben

I just used a curved xacto blade to scrape and scrape and scrape the glue residue away, it took a while but it can be done. Ben

Nice work on the painting Toni, it's one of those steps that I struggle with still. Ben

Well done Rusty reaching the milestone, frames look great from here. What are you going to use for treenails? Ben -
Sorry Sjors, too busy on the Confederacy. Ben

Beautiful Rusty - your work in the rigging must be giving Augie something to aspire to. ben -
Well I just picked up a nice piece of model grade ply - 12 x 12 x 1/2" for my building board, now I need to make the square for raising the frames and get the keel drilled, tapped and mounted to the board - maybe in a few weeks I will be able to show some progress. ben

Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
Trussben replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Got to agree with the others Maury, treenails look great the way you have done them. What would you say the difference is in the matt finish you used and the Minwax satin WOP? I use the Minwax on my Confed and I think its a nice finish - not shiny etc.... ben -
Awesome looking frame there. Ben
-
That's an impressive and highly detailed knee there Rusty, how many hours to make that single one??? Ben
-
Impressive planking there Bob, enjoying the ride. Ben
-
Good grief Remco! Amazing work, are you a brain surgeon or something because your hands must be as steady as a rock to achieve that. Ben
-
Wow Danny, I am always amazed when I check you log. Yeh, that looks like a fun place and position to use a pin vise. Ben
