  1. That is awesome when art leads to knowledge. Very cool!! The details look great!
  2. Your part has much more visual interest and character - very nice!
  3. The work is stellar. It takes what it takes I guess. Keep it up Phil!!
  4. At least you have a large amount of raw material!! Holy cow that was a small part from that big ol' block.
  5. The doors and ports look great Phil. Cape is gonne be awesome!!
  6. Hope everyone is doing well. Progress for the weekend: Heel lashing for the jibboom. Lever (page 20, fig 152) says heel lashing/gammoning would be nailed to the bowsprit with a leather washer under the nailhead. 5 turns of Syren ULTRA 0.025" Ultra Brown clipped taught above the jibboom. Bead of superglue along the turns at the bottom of the bowsprit. When dry, removed clip and trimmed off loose ends on the bottom leaving 4 clean turns. Spritsail yard horses and stirrups (Smithsonian Rigging Tables for PdN, 1964). Smithsonian plans list horses and stirrups. Clove hitches at the spar, overhand knots at the horse, dab of superglue to hold them. (Ship Modeling Simplified, Mastini Figure 55, number 6) Syren ULTRA 0.018" for horses. Syren ULTRA 0.012" for stirrups. Stiffened with 50/50 diluted Elmer's School Glue. Footropes at the jibboom. Chapelle plans. Syren ULTRA 0.012" line. Stiffened with 50/50 diluted Elmer's School Glue. Spritsail yard lifts. Chapelle plans and Smithsonian Rigging Tables for PdN. Syren 5/32" blocks. Syren ULTRA 0.012" line. Thanks for checking in as always.
  7. On the plus side Chuck, I just ordered 4 more bags of line from you today. Thanks for facing down the jerks and still providing the rest of us with the goods to make things happen. Couldn't do it as well without you for sure. Respect.
  8. Congratulations! Grecian is a beauty. Wonderful work. Her and Harpy side by side is just fabulous. Thanks for sharing them together like that.
  9. 'Tis always so. Looking good Phil. Still waiting for a small deadeye that took flight a couple days ago to return to me. Keep up the great work!
  10. Phil - I love your sea stories - brings me back to my Marine Corps days, particularly 1986-1990. Simpler times for sure.
  11. And finally closing the weekend with the bobstays. (Syren Ultra Brown 0.025", Syren Ultra Tan 0.012") I am thinking I might be needing some masts soon to continue rigging? Anyway, thanks for checking in and for any and all comments/advice. (Marquardt, Global Schooner, page 169, figure indexes 2 and 8, Petersson, Rigging Period Fore and Aft Craft, page 84, and Chapelle's rigging plans)
  12. Bowsprit Shrouds. (Syren Ultra Brown 0.025", Syren Ultra Tan 0.012") (Marquardt, The Global Schooner, p.169, figure, index 7 and Chapelle's rigging plans)
  13. First deadeye rigged. Like, ever. (Petersson, Rigging Period Fore and Aft Craft, pages 76 and 77)
