Hello Sparky and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That model looks like it's got a lot of character and would be well worth restoring. John

Nice to see you progressing, Gary. That looks a very nice pair of hard working otter boards. John -

What is a jewel iron and what does it look like?
Jim Lad replied to Roger Fyre's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
The jewel blocks were usually either suspended from a bolt driven into the end of the stunsail boom or secured with a grommet, but there may have been a more sophisticated fitting on this ship. As Mark says, a picture would help. John -
Keith, I'm just catching up after a time of not checking your log. That anchor gear I superb, and I think lowering those side supports on the other model is a good idea. Stay safe! John

Hello Mike, and a warm welcome to the forum. If you don't find the information you're looking for when searching build logs of other models, then ask the question. Plenty of friendly help to be had here. John

Looking good, Patrick. When you replace the ash bucket, don't forget to lower it to the deck to stop it swinging! John- 1,006 replies

Too late! We've been away down the coast for a few days and I was thinking I might get a chance to go into the city this week and rescue the 'Meteor', but the museum is now closed until further notice! Maybe I should start something else at home. John

Never heard of that happening, Alan (fake news?). What newspaper is that? John

Hello Cricket, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. You're certainly not in the wrong place. Members' interests range from ancient to modern; sail to nuclear; alrge to small. If it floats, this is the forum for it! Stay safe over there. John

Hydraulic Dredge by Steve Harvath
Jim Lad replied to Steve Harvath's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
If you're still debating the machinery colour, Steve, I'd go for the green! How big is the tubing? Could you use soft plastic and stiffen the bends with glue? Or perhaps simply use copper wire? John
