  1. Morning Danny, I never see those needles here. But to be honest, I'll never looked for it I think it's gonna be another visit to the city today. I have no problems with putting the rope to the eyes ,but the chain around the deadeyes are to large. So the deadeye turns everywhere that I don't want. It's only the deadeyes on the mizzenmast. The other ones are bigger and they keep in place. I hope that I can finished those things today and can go further at the main mast. But first into the rain to see if we can find those things.
  2. Not wait but get started! When you are waiting for me it can takes a while…...
  3. Thanks Adeline. I have no problems with that. When you've done it for 100 times, you know exactly how it works Mast at the back almost done……. I hate those tiny deadeyes!
  4. That looks smooth Sherry. Great job so far! When the time is there for the harvest, I'll put Anja on the plane
  5. This makes a lot of sense ! Learn another nautical word……tressles. I think I make a dictionary with all those words
  6. For me that counts Popeye, Welcome to the ironing club I wonder what the wife's in the house are doing…... (Maybe I have a fight right now )
  7. But you don't have to do the ironing Popeye Only working in the weekend.
  8. Andy, I hope that your internet is fast enough to read this When you get home, surprise, we and our written words are still there….. Now you know what's happened to me went we are home again. Take a cup of coffee, a comfortable chair, something to eat, phone on silence mode, little background music,just relax, and start reading. The next day you are up to date!
  9. Patrick and John, Thank you…. And for the pictures you have to wait a little. When I'm doing one or two lanyards each day, it gonna take a while.
  10. A little update. It goes slow because I don't like those little deadeyes. It seems that they have there own ways to do something! I ask Anja if she wants to make those little things but no, I have to do it by myself…... It looks messy and maybe it is, but I want to finish those THINGS !!!
  11. Poor guys are we , isn't it? But I have to go outside for some sanding on the Half Moon…... I make an agreement with Anja…..see is doing the cooking and I will do the sanding
  12. I'm with you Robbyn, My Mirage have also no futtock things…….. And I have to do also drill a few hole to the cross things (beams) to put in the deadeyes that gives you the opportunity to make shrouds that goes to the middle mast, Wow, Am I typing that? Translation please! So I watch your progress and maybe I will follow you... You are quicker then I'm ( and also younger )
  13. Yes Adrieke, I'm doing the vacuuming and ironing…only my own shirts for work. I have no problems with that. I lived a few years of my own so I have to do that...
  14. Is there a program that translate right away over here? They speak other languages if they are driving a car…. Smart people here on MSW
  15. Wow Ferit, That looks awesome! That's a real beauty. And a lot of details, unbelievable…..
  16. We went by boat Aldo We live for 20 minutes by train from the boat and Mobbsie lives 15 walking minutes away from the boat….. Maybe next year we go again to England and pick up the Aggy
  17. I know Aldo, It's not the first time that I'm using power tools. At school ( 100 years back ) we learn how to deal with it….. The only thing I refuse to work with are….kitchen tools
  18. I agree with that Augie! Where is the builder police to cheque it!
  19. Morning piet, Thanks for the Lazy boy chair…… and I see some Warsteiner…... whoopee! We gonna make pictures for you , no problem at all! There is no singel anymore. Only streets now. And they build a lot of houses! Visiting you is more expensive then visiting Mobbsie…... But, In an few years we want to bring the USA a visit. I wrote somewhere else also but there is one thing I want to see for sure and that's Mesa Verde in Colorado. For the rest it's gonna be visiting a lot of MSW members Maybe I need a break for a year at my company to do that. Or we wait till we where retired…….but that takes 10 years…….
  20. I thought you want to say…..The best way to work safe is not using the tools
  21. Aldo, That DHL package was for Mobbsie. He want some rope from Morope and when we buy it, it was cheaper then Morope have to send it to England. And because we went to England , we could bring it with us. But it is really great rope. When I started the Aggy, I know exactly what I need
