Buck, I feel I'll just be repeating others from the forum ... Outstanding job! "Thread Heaven" sounds a bit like turning you into a seamstress- 515 replies

Wayne, You could use the needle of a seringe to carve the groove in the wood. You will need to cut the needle straight and sharpen it slightly to be able to use it as a chisel
-
John, Just went through your build, first part again as I followed it on MSW1. You've made some very nice improvements, and I like the way you build her. She looks very sharp!
-
Jason, It would be unlogical to mount them higher. To get a strain on the jards, one would require the line to pass under the pinrail and around the belayin' pin, which gives the leverage to tighten it up. If mounted to high, you can never get the required leverage.

JP, Great work on the planking. Her hull looks rather 'smashing' . I like the idea to make a reference for future builds to fall back on!
-
Keep on going strong Adrieke! She's coming 'round very nicely.
-
Up to your superb details again as always!!! Love the sails and the reef lines. Splendid job cap'n
-
Adrieke, Nice ship you started on. WIll keep your hands bussy, as will the unfinished one. I'll be popping by from time to time
-
Michael, I'm so glad you are a perfectionist and like to re-make up your mind. Now I haven't missed too much luckily, and still get a wealth of information on brass work and ship fittings e.a. Keep it up!
-
Jason, Sorry staying away this long. Nice progress so far, capping rail looks very smart. Those fender benders ... didn't know ships from that period had any
-
Sam, Sam, Sam, I love the way she looks! Maybe mine gets that way once ... Cheers mate!
-
Adrieke, didn't have much time on my hands to visit your dockyard. She's doing wonderful. You should be proud!
-
She looks like the Mahmudiye ... (Ottoman Empire)
-
Michael, I see Walter is looking very smugg about his tidied workshop, so it seems you've done a great job. Have a wonderful day tomorrow
-
Jason, Very nice the companionway, It's good to see you stick to walnut for it. Chains turned out very good to!
-
Mobbsie, I know I can see the sparkle in your eye on your avatar
-
Yambo, You'll be starting a build log soon I hope!?
-
Frank, Those furled sails look fantastic. Not lumpy or sausige-like at all. Fabulous work

Nico thanks. The interior photo's make it look like the real thing!! Curtains give a very nice finishing touch
-
Interesting rope walk Jay. Colourfull too. I like th concept. Michael Mott made a nice one to. Should be somewhere in the jigs department. I'm very impressed with your rigging. It looks complicated enough, still you make it seem doable, even easy
-
Russ, I understand why you said that. In the Mini 7 club I was in, we refered to the imperial measurement system as AF. Why ... on our spanners e.a. the size was given as e.g. 1/16 A/F. My mistake. (sometimes that language barrier is as high as a mountain)

Glad your autocad can be used. In the settings of the OS in virtualbox you can increase (depending on your real system) the number of processors (the cores would be better) and or (video) memory. Maybe that will help out, since you are running programs which use a lot of resources (i.e. processor time, memory, video memory, swap space -> memory on your harddisk) In my PC and laptop I always run the full memory available, so that it's limitations won't bug me to much, and I have installed at least two disk partitions to separate the data from the programs (if possible I install multiple disks), and if my C: drive fills up I move the swap file to an other partition which makes the OS run somewhat faster (but that's rather technical all). Anyway, try to increase some values and see if that helps you out a bit
-
I'm happy you've got help sorted out. You'll be needin' a 'and with those timbers!!! Since you do not need more hands, and there can be only one capt'n on the ship, I'll sit back and enjoy
-
Augie, I presume it is still running rigging as it is i.c. part of the topgallant yard rigging. On wikipedia they state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_rigging): Running rigging of a square-rigged shipLifts, adjust the tilt of a yard, to raise or lower the ends off the horizontal.

Wayne, You can't mean this ... First making us drool over your build's box and content (even if she has a hole in her side) and then full stop ...
