NEEDS to turn maybe not. Did they? This from a company I worked for that made this lathe.

As a wood furniture maker, I've sprayed many hundreds of gallons of Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Sometimes, seemingly for no reason, that whitishness appears. It is frequently moisture related, as lacquer dries very quickly and gets cold in the process, drawing moisture from the air. A quick fix, that nearly always works, is to spray pure lacquer thinner on the project, just enough to wet the surface, allowing the trapped moisture to escape. Sometimes that needs to be done more than once. It has saved many thousand dollar custom executive office furniture pieces for me.. Worth a try.

I've been using MOLOTOW brand liquid paint markers with a 2mm tip. #703.102 is the liquid chrome.

Wire rigging for 1885 Puritan by Mamoli
Joseph Schmidt replied to bridgman's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
My lightning sailboat I did with wire rope standing rigging. These boats changed over from natural fiber rigging to wire rope standing rigging and synthetic running rigging about the same time as fiberglass hulls were coming in. The wire was from artwox, 7 strand stainless steel and was finely twisted. I used a single strand from clippings to wrap or serve the end into a simulated eye splice. The mini turnbuckles were also purchased and are functional making it easy to adjust the tension on the shrouds and stays.

Or, this is my home made keel clamp, although I've never used it. EJ

Many plank on frame kits have spacing jigs for the rib layout. I built this to mount the jig to. It spins so I can work from the top or the bottom. EJ

Do-It-Yourself Thicknesser
Joseph Schmidt replied to stuglo's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Looks similar to the one I built to fit on my full size wood lathe. Made of junk laying around in the shop except for the drum which I bought. I regularly can make strips as thin as 1/64" on this. Using the rigid platform of the wood lathe, as well as the 1.5 hp motor to drive it, it works very well. For me the dust is not an issue as this kind of work is done in my wood shop. EJ
