Very nice and precise work Steve. Did you mill or hand cut the sheave holes? cheers Pat -
This may not be the best forum for this photo/info - mods please move if required. While on holiday in Tasmania recently I visited the Tasmanian Maritime Museum in Hobart. While small, it had some interesting artifacts including this section of timber from the bow of an unknown vessel believed to be mid-1800s (possibly the Hope). It shows some good exampls of the copper/brass fixings. It is a slightly fuzzy photo as I had to shoot hand held without flash under some very poor lighting. I hope it is of benefit to some members? cheers Pat

She is looking good Dave; plenty of nice detail. I left the boat boom hardware off the channels as I thought I might catch them and damage them or the channels while rigging; I'll be interested to see how you make out. cheers Pat

Great progrees Dave, and glad to see you have very quickly come to grips with resistance soldering - it's the ant's pants once you work out the right power settings for the various types of jobs cheers Pat

Removing Blacken-It from Brass
BANYAN replied to mtaylor's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Mark, try rubbing with a fibreglass pencil brush then soaking them in Muriatic (brickies) acid for a while. I was able to use this method with a bit of scrubbing with a toothbrush to remove some blackening (I used Birchwood Casey blackener) which had not worked so well in parts. This got them back to near clear brass but it certainly was not as shiny a surface but a scrub with fine steel wool certainly resolved that Please note this was not a deep blacken process as I notice the mottled effect before the full process had not completed. cheers Pat -
Go on Chris take the challenge (says me who only trenneled the deck planks) Nice progress cheers Pat
-

Keep on rattlin mate; you'll get there Love the effect you have created on the lines (close-ups) which reallygive the effect of grease heavy (tarred) lines. cheers Pat

Nice work Ian. I am doing these at the moment also (well finish when I get back from holiday ) and your method for the ball/knob on the end of the aiming arm will help me greatly - thanks for sharing. cheers Pat

Looking good Chris Pat

Nice save mate, they look good especially considering the scale. Pity about the attitude from Eduard - I won't purchase anything from them if that is the way they treat customers when it is their problem Question: How do you glue your stanchions, especially the singles - both glue & jigs to get them to stay in place and look perfectly aligned from the horizontal and vertical perspectives - and get them to stay there? [Edit - I realise that these ones still have the base fret attached, I am assuming you have done singles as well where required? The type of glue is applicable to all please] cheers Pat

Welcome back mate; she is coming along very nicely (pity my spelling isn't - fixed in edit). You'll have to bring her along to a meeting again soon (I won't be at the next one - travelling). cheers Pat
