Hi Piet, the little tourch was bought at the "Bauhaus" crafter chain, but I also saw it at Amazon, see link.... http://www.amazon.de/Rothenberger-Pocket-Torch-Piezo/dp/B002YHA8MW/ref=sr_1_1/280-6113016-5205109?ie=UTF8&qid=1429170994&sr=8-1&keywords=rothenberger+brenner My main application is first of all for soft soldering brass sheet made structures whereby I clip off a small piece of soft solder wire, lay it in the corner of the metal connection surfaces and heat the whole structure with the flame..... and secondly for melting on the polyester thread rigging line ends (thinning out between two fingers) for sheaving through the mini block sheave holes. I contacted the original maker, Rothenberger, because the usage temp was given with 450° C if they can confirm usage for fine silver soldering. They`ll send me a small piece of flux-coated silver solder wire, and I`ll give it an actual try. If I hold a steel wire end (appr. 1,5 - 2 mm) in the flame end it becomes cherry red hot, which normaly would be OK for silver soldering small parts. I`ll let you know asap how the outcome is Piet Nils -

very nice rigging Job Bob, so many familiar sequences from your (builds) pics,........Yards, the one with the parral tyed to one side, hanging down, etc..., been just a couple of days ago.... Your process is performed masterly and exactly, very good looking. Its going to be a "eyecatcher", that rigging of yours Nils

Your chain pump drives look very good Ian Nils

Thanks very much for your appreciation Tuciship, Nils

Daniel, your messenger-and anchor cable handling crew is a real tutorial for all who intend to rigg the anchor cables. Beautiful illustration work ! Looks like tere are always enough hands on a heavy ship like HMS Victory with training, dicipline, and a strong command Nils

A well appreciated comment Martin,... thank you very much, I do hope your HMS Fly has meantime received some progress, (pics available ?) wish you all the best with it Nils

Mike, I read once that the Colin Archer hull- and sail design allows a perfect ballanced straight (even hard at wind ) course even without giving reasonable Support rudder, asuming the common sail lateral Center is set right...... Nils

Bob, probably that was the pulley man !? the Little gas tourch fills with ordinary cigarette lighter liquid gas, Im using this tourch with piezo ignition for many years now for all my soldering work ( soft- and smaller silver solder application, appr. 1100° C blue Turbo flame) For rigging Im using it to thin out the lines Ends to half ist thickness, otherwise I`ll get a heartattack when when trying to sheave in those 3mm blocks Nils

Many thanks to Boyd, Bob (Rafine), Michael, Bob (Cap`n), Mike, and all the "likes" Boyd, thanks for your fine comment. I saw that you`re putting nice detail beneath your Bounty`s decks, very nice looking Bob (Rafine), I`m glad you like the rigging, but must bear in mind that you have even a smaller scale with your "Essex" rigging, well done, looking forward to seeing some update pics soon Michael, its quite struggle with fiddling the lines through the sheaves of the 3mm blocks, (thinned out the ends) , but yes, two tweezers and two scissors are in use alltime. Cap`n Bob, from time to time I have to identify which line goes to or come from where......, so gently pull at the other end and see which one moves.... It is my intention not to have lines from the crossing between foremast-bits and the bowsprit enabling free access (rounding) to the front forecastle deck Mike, thanks for looking in, its a pleasure to have you following the progress. All the best for your current Colin Archer project Nils some of the mostly used rigging equipment.....

Build log part 83... Update Sprit and jib-boom sail, ready to capture the slightest breeze... Nils I put the braces on the sprit- and jib sail yards the 8-hole saddle on the lower sprit boom, enables a little order to the many lines looking like a ship now..... only the foremast topgallant sail is still missing.....

Congrats to finalising your "Pinco Genvese" Hartmut, the ship looks very well built and the rigging with set sails corresponds beautiful to the all round Appeal. I like it very much, It`s a lovely ship, which may encourage the one or other member to look into this direction with the next build. Regards to your wife, I understood she signes a great deal for the wonderful sail sewing Job...... Nils
