You'd better keep your wits about you when you use your mat/mate ... oh which ever ... I'll leave you to your build. Oh, one advice: Measure twice before you cut to length ... -
If you manage to astonish us as with your previous build, I will enjoy this one very much ... good to see you at the shipyard

Vossie, she doesn't, and hence doesn't need those, she has a cutting mate whom will cut or chop off his fingers, wish those were sold here ...

bluetack and tooth picks ... you still need the foam though.. Tape on a small plank, sticky side up, even bluetack on plank/lat works like a charm. With railings I'd go for the blue tack on a lat.

what's a uro more or less ... -
Sam, does her better half have anything to say ...? Jo, Now how come I haven't thought about it meself! I can even take it with me to work Excuse my ignorance, but what is a car bog ... if it's heavy you better don't send it, US Postal charges are rather steep, and I won't pay for the import duties and taxes, you could wire the money though ... Sam did make a good proposition considering the plans, yes he does from time to time ( ). You do not need to pin/stick them to the wall all four, just the one you need for what you are working on would suffice. Usually you've got two with side/front/rear, and top view, one for the rigging, and one for the sails. In my older kits I had only two, one for the hull, rigging, and sails, besides one to cut the sails, a template you could say

You could use your table top ... do you have plans !!!

HEllo Jo, Did you make yourself acquainted with the contents? Checked the items against the list, which should be included in the kit, it gives you the feeling of what you'll be working with. It's the first thing you should do, for you can act on missing parts. After that when you read the building instructions, you will recognise parts from the list and can probably visualise them as well - unless you have a memory like mine - so when you start your build it will not be so daunting. At least that's the way I work. You could use the parts beside the building instructions to familliarise yourself with them as well. So far you have received good counsil, and as has been put so eloquently: Ther are no dumb questions ... Enjoy your build (Sam have you taken your pills?) Darn, I forgot. Do not buy your tools to quickly, start with the basic ones, and add to them whilst you proceed. Often you can use a very cheap alternative ... have a look at the tools and jigs section here at MSW.

A real luncheon topic if all else fails ... hope your back is bearable again ... quite remarkable what you have done so far ... you do have those oeps moments too ...

Dick, with reference to you statement: Without these wedges at deck level, the strain on the mast foot would lead to early failure. How do you explain the fact that the wedges were sometimes taken out to increase speed? At least that is something I read about ... (unfortunately age didn't help me remembering where)
-
I would prefer to hear the Blues Brothers' version ... Soft solder Steve. That should do the trick. You only need the top bar soldered on 4 points, the remainder you can do with CA.

Darn, you up to multiple builds too! Where do you find the time ... It is good to clear your head by doing something entirely different Mark () As usual I'm late, must be the French hour I maintain dilligently. Now I have to thank Grant for taking that last front row seat. I see you have your knowledgable, and resourcefull crowd gathered ........, so I will refrain interfering. I see druxey has a point (pun intended) the rounded top of the gammon. Sometiomes we just overlook the obvious ...

what's the grain on the beltsander if you don't mind me asking? -
Hear him, another worst self critic ... very lovely work again, dispite the frustration of the redodelidum from your 7-10-7 jig

You should be able to accomplish that. Either you start with a base layer of redish-brown and add (diluted) layers if the greyish/blue and streaks of white, or add diluted redish/brown spots on the metal parts ... I'll be waiting ...

Indeed, as I said as well, druxey. That's why I have, amongst others, invested in a Tilt Shift lens, a very ingeneous piece of engineering ... you really should have a try with that for architectural photography. Here we can rent a lens ... it is a nice wat to try befor you buy, or just to use it when you need it sporadically and are not willing to invest in such a lens Althoug, there are situations one can't ... Nice blade Gaetan
