When you used the knife blade on the spinning prop, did you clamp it or hold it by hand? the prop looks great! Rick

George, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you! After filing a groove in the deadeyes/fairlead with a round diamond file, I glued black thread in the groove on the inward side of the fairlead (away from the shroud). I used titebond wood glue. When that had set, I wrapped the thread in the groove around the shroud and tied an over hand knot. Then I wrapped the thread back round the fairlead and tied another over hand knot that was then glued with cyano. I found the failed would still rotate around the shroud, so to keep them in place, I touched them with a drop of cyano to the shroud. Sorry for the long explanation! Rick

Welcome to Cleveland George!! Hopefully you will have time to get back into modeling! Miss your updates! Did the Flying Fish make the trip? Rick

Plus, you really know how to use it all!! You also have extensive knowledge of dental materials, most of which I haven’t used in 40 years as an endodontist. Still trying to learn how to use my metal lathe and milling machine (not from dental school!). Rick

Rob, wish I still had my high and low speed hand pieces! I do have my hand instruments and my lathe ( bought thru the office for model ship building). With your background as a lab tech and Denturist, you must have a fantastic shop!! Rick

Beautifully done Rob! The impression brings back memories of dental school! Rick
-

As an aside, I had to take the spreaders off all 3 cross trees as the opening for the shrouds, backstays and stay, especially if the shrouds are served. This involved soaking the spreaders with acetone for 20-30 minutes and carefully prying them off the cross trees , trying not to break them. For anyone making this model, I recommend not attaching the spreaders until the top masts are rigged. Even with the spreaders removed, there really isn’t enough room for the shrouds and backstays.
