    World is small place, Ian I grew up in Karaburma since I was two years old (1961) until 1979 when I move to Zemun. So. there I finish elementary school ( "Stevan Filipovic") and High School ( "Sedma beogradska gimnazija"), spend there childhood and early years of my youth, living in apartment near "Slavica" cinema and later near garage of "Gradsko saobracajno" ... At those days Karaburma had some special spirit and atmosphere ... but, last couple of years Karaburma was "attacked" by builders without any idea and sense for architecture, and you do not really want to look it now ... if you want, take a little walk from here with street view on Google maps https://www.google.rs/maps/@44.8151485,20.5058848,50m/data=!3m1!1e3 Again, small word

    More forward ... to the elegance ... I have to admit, looking Her on stand, it seems that She looks very proud. Somehow, creating stand, I accidentaly hit right design which hide hull minimaly and rise her up just to the right level Hothead is also creative making model of theatre for his exam Of course, his grand working table in his room is full, another office desk in my office is also full, both with his stuff, and he occupied kitchen table ... Sounds familiar?

    After a few weeks of thinking and rethinking, it seems that things sit in place, and final idea shaped in my mind. Tests are not still finished, but tests are important to hull part, so, I can proceed with stand. Main goal - to be safe and above all - nice and elegant On a way to the stand Rough construction almost done. I decided to form a kind of box to hide screws which will fasten stand to final plate, at the same time to be easy to change temporary working plate with final. Idea is to make removable "roof" of box, coated and finished as roofs on cabins were done. Here are photos to got idea what I am trying to do All corners of box and platform will be rounded, all fine sanded, with veneer coverage on some places. Also central horizontal rounded molding will be added to fasten vertical sides, and some my straightening tricks with toothpicks will be applied to whole construction, later hidden under veneer

    A bit more testing with "old quality wood" Kiddin' Laminated plywood with veneer 1mm + mahogany veneer 0,5mm, added acrylic playing to weather it and imitate old laquer. Just playing Much much stronger than I expected

    Thanks for supporting words, Mark. I think I am near ... Hello Denis. That "anchor" was a first I grab from shelf, just for testing purpose. If I decide to this solution, "anchors" will be as small as I can find. Also thinking to fulfill space under with something to harden whole thing No worry about protrude on surface ... this was just fast testing, and I have enough experience making a bunch of furniture and another things in home, with or without "anchors" of all kind and size "First night" spent with kids talking, looking at some movie ... nobody was in mood to be cheerful, only 6 months passed, and this is first New Year without Her, so .... Anyway, nice time with kids, with full hearth of happiness seeing how good and mature people with the correct world view they become ... very proud Papa I am Let the force be with all of us

    Testing time Just for test purpose, to see how it acts when some force attacks, I made small simulation of kell and ribs and replied all layers of hull construction I have made: balsa strips glued with white glue, putty, layer of glue, veneer, putty, layer of acrylic, foil glued witg white glue, couple layers of mat varnish over Then I drill a hole for screw, and put it inside As a final, I hanged my alvil on screw ... And it holds !!! Nothing moves, nothing cracked One of next days I'll repeat this experiment in scale, simulating real distance between ribs, to be more real If it can hold without breaking, stand with four conecting screw points I imagined to make could do it's job, and I can go on forward Hmmmm

    I hope this can help ?

    Very clever to make standing on time. I didn't, and now I have ... let's say ... a kind of problem which stopped me nearly two weeks Just a thought ... If stand is small and kell is low, hull lines and ornaments on stern hardly can be seen ... If stand is higher, all thing looks much better, but you got less stabile construction when spars/mast/rigging time comes For me ... Hmmmmm issue Kerp on good work!

    Thanks for nice words Denis. Little correction: In Serbia is Orthodox Church, so Christmas will be celebrated at January 7th. To me it is not important considering I am an "orthodox atheist". All that counts are your nice words and good wishes you send over post "Little" overloaded with office stuff, 2-3 days remain until New Year comes, then Christmas time, and after that so called "Serbian New Year" at January 13th ( in my opinion - Orthodox newfangled concoctions after the abolition of communism in Serbia) . Point is : even you want to work, you do not have anybody to work with from December 31 until January 14th. Courts are closed, companies run slowly with people on vacation, people ( clients) are out of city ... So, forced winter vacation, as any other winter, and I hope to go forward with standing for Her. Little rest at age of 57 comes well. Particularly after hard two weeks with app 10-12 working hours with 50-100 km drive every day Both kids are at home, and we will spend some nice time together

  23. NenadM
