Here is a nice topic that talks about making sails.  No reason it shouldn't work well for any sail making project.

@schooner

While that sounds like a great idea, I would hold off with any glue until you are sure the line in question will not need to be adjusted any further.

Here is a nice example of coil making from Glenn Barlow

Make sure you click on the arrow in the upper right corner.

I like the pedestals you are leaning toward..  They are different while not being too radical.

Do you think you could get a picture with your hand showing close to, or touching the boat?  It would be great to get a better sense of perspective.

@modeller_masa

Looks like you are going to way too much trouble for me at this stage in life, but I defer to your expertise.  Your methods produce some interesting results.

I'll try to present some examples from my fairly low-end Panasonic DC-FZ80K.

Glenn, there seems to be two sets of approach going on here.

BrochBoating is referring to cameras that have a post editing feature built into the  camera, where you get a stacked image saved in the camera.

In my Panasonic it takes 40 images ( a video actually ) in one second, while advancing the focus from near to far. It then compiles them into a single image.

The results are so-so in my opinion, but I may not be utilizing the feature to it's greatest advantage.

I'm not sure what modeller_masa is on about. I think he is moving the subject and or the camera.

That said, knowing your photography expertise, and having seen your work, I'm sure you are using a method that produces superior results.

Nikon pro level cameras have a much simpler focus stacking feature,

Some (?) Panasonic cameras have this feature also, and the merging takes place in the camera.  Chances are, a higher end camera and post processing could result in a better result,

but I have found it works pretty good at my level of expertise.

Maybe this will help. A snip from the NMM lines.

I think it is close to the drawings in the MS Plans

P.S.

I'm measuring about 5degrees at the waterline and 10 at the quarter deck which I think would be easier to set with a template on the quarter deck.

I can give you the angle from the NMM lines, but it will be later today.

Ooofff!!!  $1700 for that.

Just saw at ModelExpo the price is $1,199.

They are offering some other discounts that amount to free shipping for a total in my cart of  $1,148.

I still would not be interested at any price, but that might soften the blow for anyone who is interested.

I don't think that gap would exist on this type of ship.

It would be similar to something like this on the Winchelsea. You might also look at how the rails are laid out on Winchelsea.

Don't try to duplicate it.  Just follow the general layout.  There are a lot of different views in Chuck's Winchelsea log.

Does Fusion 360 do all the toolpath plotting that those other programs do?  

I'll have to dig into it if it does..  No sense in having two tools for the same job..

Here's a nice demo with Vcarve

That " Solid Oak " stand base is a little anticlimactic..

FWIW I found a contemporary model in the Gallery that shows shrouds in pairs:

There are several other models but I couldn't really tell.

I can't tell on the Cheerful model, but Chuck chose to go with pairs, and I think he saw the model in person.

Petersson. shows pairs.

I trust Goodwin had good reason to go with single.

P.S.

Sails

The cutter models I have seen with full sails looked somewhat clunky to me, and really detracted from the over-all look.

In your case, I think they would really detract from all of your fine work.

Great info Allan

What I find interesting is that the article says it is thousands of feet deep, yet in the picture we see a scuba diver and substantial ambient lighting.  Obviously not a picture of the wreck.

Of course the video depicts a very different environment.

Why can't the media do better than that.

Dangerous?

Any good saw is dangerous.

How well does it work?

Just to add a little to the discussion.

Here is a video that shows what a program like Meshcam could add to the CNC workflow, even with the lower end desktop machines.

At $250 for the standard version, it's probably less than you would spend on decent carving bits.

I bought a Chinese mini table saw that addressed all the things - height adjustment, replaceable plate with sturdy fence and zero insert, and bigger 3 inch blade - for $40.

....

 

How has it performed under load?  What kind of load?

If I may, and Chuck will correct me if I'm wrong,  The bits closest to the fore mast are for handling rigging, the riding bits, just aft, are for handling the anchor cables.

Lets see who the first member will be....want to take any bets?

 

 

Chances are, it won't be someone who has read or understood your comments in this topic..

@wefalck

Excellent points, but when you address all the shortcomings of the KS230 , you now have an FET costing $300 .more.

Forgive the cliche, but you can't have your cake and eat it too..

They have got a lot of complaints for the poor quality of their motor on the circular table saw (KS 230).

That is a very low end machine..  85 watts.

It burns up because people try to get off cheap then use it for jobs it is not designed for. 

Looks really good!
