  1. Like to see this schooner, looks great. The view of the "Rigging" only gets me wanting to learn more.

    The new model was for free: but the extra costs of additional tools, and materials to complete it makes it anything but free lol.

    Learning a lot from reading on this site.  Hope the new project looks half as good as the average model I have been viewing on this site.

    I will take pictures as I go. 

     

    With my retirement coming up soon more time will be available.

    Will continue to work part time, camp, hunt local orchids in the bush, and enjoy our grandchildren.

    As a carpenter, artist and photographer have some old tools that will help along the way. 

     

     

  2. Understand your pain; we have a problem here, as most available screws hear are Philips but the bits are often the other type so they strip the driver due to fit. My personal solution is to just purchase Robertson screws if at all possible.

    As to your jar idea I use the large wide pill bottles as they do not break, have a lock lid and they are free. LOL used ones another seniors benefit. They are see through, so only put size #4, #5, #6, #7 and length, I only purchase stainless screws so do not need to note this. #4 and #5 is always yellow driver, #6 and #7 are green, #8, #9, are red, #10, #11, and 12 are black bits and screw drivers.

    Double black and triple black I do not use; but have some torx screws and drivers as well in the pill bottles.
