Trussben replied to jml1083's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Jim, your a lucky man being able to attend the workshop, it's high on my bucket list but just can't get away from work at the moment. Enjoy it, take lots of pics and give us unlucky ones a treat by telling us all about it on your log. Ben -
Hey Chuck, Glad to see you are back and going to rebuild your log. My longboat is not here but in the normal kit build logs if you want to see another one. I will follow along on yours and Toni's. Ben EDIT 3-11-2013, Just found my log has been moved to this area now!

Hey Chuck, Don't forget from MSW1.0 that I was among the first to express interest in building the Winnie along with Rusty, but I'd really like an autographed copy. Ben
-
Hey Toni, I just wanted to add a big thanks for you rebuilding your log in such a detailed and complete way, it's a joy to read it all again. Ben
-
All I can say Ed is that your build is one of the most unbelievable works of art that I have ever seen, I shall order vol2 of the book as soon as I can. Ben

Moro. Nice to see you back Pasi, I've enjoyed your build so far so it's great to see the log continuing. Ben

Hi JP, It looks very good, maybe your Garboards come a little too far forward but if you have measured everything and you are happy with how the stem planks will taper then carry on at full speed. ben

Hi Larry and thanks for the comments. I reprinted the Friezes on standard weight copier paper and then added a fixative ( Wife's hairspray laquer ) to try and prevent it from aging to badly, mine came out nicely I think, just remember you may have to resize them to fit your hull better ( 88% for me ). ben

I knew it, you and Jeff must be best friends! I just wish he would sell to modelers in Ohio like me! Very nice work on that mortise mate! Ben
-
Sweet work Mario, very nice frames and chocks. Ben

Hey Greg, I know that David was your Mentor, would you like an apprentice?? I would take the position with no pay tomorrow. Lol. Ben

That looks awfully like a dewalt dw788 scroll saw?
-
Very nice boxwood, I'm sure it's hobbymill so I won't even ask! So you are putting the notches in the beams, excellent, can I see some closeups of them please, pretty please? Ben

The Monster build is back, I love what you did with the dentists chair but i dont see that picture where it looks like youre going to launch the ship into space. ben
-
Yehh Gary and the Alfred are back! So Glad you decided to repost your most excellent work, I will look forward to reading it all again. ben
-
Nice to see the full build log going back in Toni - really beautiful work there. ben
-
Wow Greg, Even more pics than the last time, very impressive work, I wish I could afford all those lovely tools you have but over time you never know. I am setting this log to e-mail me whenever its updated because I dont want to miss anything ben
-
Got to agree, very nice work, keeping the shrouds distances even can be a pain, now I want to see some ratlines. ben
-
SWEET Augie, That rigging looks awesome, glad you having fun with it. For some strange reason the rigging is one of my favorites parts of a build, not including ratlines of course ben
-
Hi remcoe, Great to see it back on the site, I laughed again when I saw the miniature basket weaving and the old rat. You are a simply amazing model builder. Ben
-

Yea Rusty. Thanks so much for rebuilding your Confed log, it's such a great help for me to see your work, just hope Chuck and Chris repost theirs as well. 1 question on the stern framing, I see when you had the template on there for marking the sill positions you lined up the dotted line at the bottom of the template with the top of the upper counter, did this line up correctly with everything else afterwards? I think mine maybe slightly too high and I will have to re do them. Ben
