Jim Rogers reacted to mtaylor in What do you use to mount your plans for viewing while building?
I hang them on the wall. As needed, I'll copy or scan relevant areas and then put them back on the wall. The copies/scans are used at the workbench.

I am looking for either a Drafting Table or an easel to mount my plans. I want something large enough but also portable or even able to be broken down and stored. Any suggestions.

Welcome Alain. I have learned so much from this site and I love that it is made up from people all over the world AND we all get along. Maybe if the entire world got into modeling it would be a more peaceful place. Beautiful town you live in and great photos.

I use Ebony wood stain and it is beautiful. Stays under steam where I have had paint removed when steaming.

Here in the States, one can go to the Dollar Store and pick up a nice size bag of them for a dollar. I find a variety of uses for them.
My problem with going to Starbucks is, I hate their coffee.

Jim Rogers got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in English Pinnace by MikeB4 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:24
Mike that is one fine looking result. I learn something every time I build and I have learned so much in the few months I have been on this site. I constantly had issues bending wood for planking. I dry bent, soaked in water, soaked in ammonia (NEVER AGAIN) and was getting pretty frustrated. Then I read this log that mentioned steam. So I went on Amazon, bought a steam cleaner with a nozzle attachment and it makes things so much easier. You can bend and twist with ease. If you build the Mayflower it has a blunt bow and I wish I would have known about steam at the time. That boat must have been a rough ride plowing into the seas.

Jim Rogers reacted to KenW in Rattlesnake by KenW - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64 - American Privateer
Well, I made the main lower yard and crossed it to the main mast. At this point, I think doing the lower yards now was a good idea. Those buntlines and leech lines were easily rigged and I don’t foresee any problems. So I’ll do the lower fore yard next.
As for the details – the first step was to construct the main lower yard. All the blocks have been added as well as the horse and stirrups. Notice that the jeer block is double stropped, as per antscherl.
I want to show the model with sails furled. So, the next step was to make the sail along with its lines, etc. Then the sail was bent to the yard. Notice that I included the head cringles and earings before lashing the sail.
Next the yard was crossed to the mast and the truss and jeers were rigged. These lines were tied off permanently. The various lines (bunt and leech and clue) were belayed to their pins. These lines are not permanent. I did redo the port side leech line so that it passed between the catharpins after the photo was taken.
Belaying pins were added to the main breast rail above the buckets since I am short of tying off points.
Notice I still need to add rope coils where the jeer ties tie off to their cleat.
I’m thinking that before adding the top masts, I should also do the crowsfeet, and the spritsail yard first as well.
