  1. Bend it ... Did(/could) the old masters bend such a piece? Maybe better to find a nice piece of wood with a stunning flowing grain, like a 'trained' tree ...?
  2. You could use brass tubing like http://hobby.uk.com/materials/metal/round-brass-tube.htmlYou should taper the tube however.
  3. Stunning Michael. You mentioned 'press fit' ... how much pressure do you use to push them in?
  4. I'd rather have 'Van Nelle' coffee if you've got any ... I presume you're preparing for the 'jump off' for version 2.0
  5. You could use masking liquid at the border and tape for the wider part ... I know with water colour painting masking liquid (very sirupy, almost a paste) is used a lot ..
  6. Well thouhgt through Mark. Good to see you took the drawing. Sometimes a picture can say more than a thousand words, but sometimes it puts you on the wrong foot as it did with vs 1.0 In todays day and age you really have to be sharp using images with all the scanning, retouching, etc
  7. Augie, Next year it will be the 'Popeye Gallery' Looking good spinach-sailor. You keep on surprising us with your quick mind, and creativity!!
  8. It could be a bit morepronounced, but thta's based on an image(!) In reality it may be enough ... It also depends on the state she was in at the time
  9. Bill Looking good, I like your plankbender. I'll be following your build with interest
  10. Mark, So far you haven't given me the impression you 'overthink', you (merely?) think things through - rather thorougly though.
  11. Michael, Looks stunning, as all your metal working has been here at MSW so far. I presume you make it a runnung engine ... any reason for using brass instead of iron, aluminium, etc?
  12. Mark (or is it Muad'dib now ), I thought she sailed the wet oceans, not those off planet ...
  13. Adrieke, I recon it's a large hull and the white part doesn't look bad from here. Probably up close it looks different (as always)
