Hello fellow members, this is not against anyone who likes or purchased this probably nice DVD, but I have a Little bad tast on my toungue when seeing Promotion being made for taking Money for things that should gladly be free to members on MSW. In my opinion it is against the Spirit of this wonderful MSW Forum. I invite the authors of the DVD to join in to this comunity and to participate in this great international Web-site Nils

Micheal, I love the lines of your cutter, it has a Little bit of the classic famous "gothic" style, narrow and deep what they called "plank on edge" and one of my favourites would be the "Genesta". here a pic from the web. Like B.E. I also am very fond of your lovely Workshop... Nils

Marc, Thank you, those were very nice words, and it encourages and honours me very much. Let me answer your questions as follows.... All metal work (winches etc.), is from scratch, except for the wire spanners, and the smallest portholes. I also liked the appeal of the Pitchpine deck Woods, it Looks realistic and gives such a lovely warm tone. In my career it was common to use handscetches for quick explainations within Meetings etc.. My Background is Maschinenbau-Ingenieur and Schweissfachingenieur. (mechanical Engineering) Some do`nt like figures on models, but I feel they can bring some life to the model. The fabric is thin fine cottoncloth "Nesselstoff" I found at IKEA. No Problem with sewing at all. As Long as the space Problem in my home does not get worse, The Pamir shall decorate my Hobby Office, for the time after that I have`nt made up my mind yet. Marc, enjoy the coming two last parts, to be issued probably for tomorrow Nils

Bob, Thank you for your appreciative words, it took me about 1950 manhours spread over 2 years, many of the Trials done to get certain techniques pushed on I could share with my tallship model of the "Gorch Fock 2", the riveted plating was already experianced on The "Heinrich Kayser steamship" and transferred to both tallships, otherwise it would have probably taken additional 2-3 months Nils

Thank you Bob, I was a bit unsure in the beginning if I can do these sails,(as a first time sail-project) because I neighther operated a sewing machine before, nor did I realize what a lot of extra rigging would be involved along with that. My main doubt was, if the boltropes can be sewed on per machine at all. I found no instructions for doing so, and having some idea in mind I began Trials. Many Trial results went to the bin, but then suddenly the solution was found. One could call it "learn by doing". I thought I should share this with others as well, and hope it is understandable to whom it concerns. Nils
