I only "discovered" Gesso fairly recently and am absolutely sold on it! It's really easy to use, and clean up (bonus!), and gives great results. What more could you ask for?- 1,051 replies

Mark, I think you're little sojourn into Classical architecture and geometric construction was a fascinating trip for all of us. Thank you for sharing this.

You're going to love that Byrnes machine Kevin. In six months you won't remember the price, but you'll still be in love with the machine!

Kevin, On the pattern gluing question, one trick I picked up reading a scroll saw forum was to apply blue Painters tape to the wood first, then stick the pattern on top of that. The painters tape is low tack, so removal after cutting is easy and virtually no residue to clean up. You can buy the Painters tape in a variety of widths in you local hardware store. The glue you use for the pattern then doesn't matter. I prefer to print on sticky label paper, but some prefer a spray adhesive. Hope this helps.

Congratulations Mobbise - what a wonderful achievement. She looks absolutely fantastic and those shots alongside Badger are amazing! I can't believe it only took you 19 months to build - that's 12 times as fast as my Victory! I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to our "group" build, though you'll have put get used to a much more sedate and stately pace! I'll see you on the dark side this weekend.

Fabulous detail, as always, Gil

Thank you very much Lawrence, Daniel, Ben, John and Gil. Gil - a special thanks is due to you. Your log in itself has been an inspiration for many other Victory builders here and there were many times I found myself thinking, "now how did Gil handle that?". Thank you also for the many exchanges of personal correspondence as we compared notes on various issues. I look forward to seeing the final stages of completion of your own masterpiece.

Those draught marks are a lovely touch Remco, and so exquisitely precise!
-
Great to see you back in the shipyard Alan. And yep, like Wacko says, re-dos are just par for the course. The important thing is that YOU are satisfied with the results.

Mark, It's clear that the Macro Gods are smiling on you today. Some very fiddly work, very neatly done.
-
Cool! .... or should that be Hot!

Thank you Marc for your very kind words.

Having watched the demo videos (of the Microjig Grr-Ripper), my opinion is that this will get a lot of use in my workshop. True, for widths smaller than 1/8" a different method will be needed, but there's still an awful lot of cutting to do at wider widths. The fact that it can be used equally on the Byrnes saw or a full sized table saw (not to mention band saw, router table, etc) is a huge bonus. I think this will be money well-invested, and being a safety item, there was no problem in gaining funds approval from the Admiral

Thanks for showing us this Mike. I've just ordered one!

Nicely done Nigel and kudos for your perseverance!
-
Looking good Derek - nice to see you back at it. Not far to go now!
-
Congratulations on reaching a significant milestone there Nick - looking very nice indeed.
-
Nice work on the davits Gil.

Okay Augie, your week is up, and then some! Let's see some progress!!!

Nicely done Daryl. I hope you get the urge to fit a boiler at some stage - even if it is a static display only.
-
Thank you so much B.E. for your kind words and also for your advice and assistance along the way.
-
Thank you so much Bob - that is very kind of you. I'm looking forward to starting the cross section in a couple of weeks time. In the meantime, I've been having a "boatload" of fun with my Stephenson's Rocket, just for something completely different.
-
Thank you so much Lawrence, Sherry and Rick. Lawrence - not sure that 19 years counts as "speedy completion", but thank you for kind words anyway. Nice to see you back and posting again Sherry - thought you'd gone AWOL for a while there. I'll look forward to some updates on your lovely San Felipe. And Rick - welcome home my friend. It's been far too long. I look forward to seeing the resumption of play in your shipyard.
