  1. Great to see that your putting her back in her home, Lars! John
  2. Well, perhaps I'm mistaken, so I've sorted out a selection of files and will post them in the following few posts. Again, if anyone has any questions on what the heck I was doing up to now, please don't hesitate to ask. John
  3. Good work, Bob. Those hinges would have looked rubish without the pins - with them, they look superb! John
  4. Michael, left handed rope is obviously used for tying left handed knots! Seriously, it used to be used for shrouds on larger ships and sometimes on small ships. Strangely enough (if memory serves me) coir rope was often laid up left handed. John
  5. Chris, Thanks for giving us back your Folke! John
  6. Danny, I have all my pictures, but I didn't think that this was an important enough log to reconstruct it completely. John
  7. Hello Andrew, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. Looking forward to following the build of your sloop! John
  8. You're making some nice rope there, Michael! What are you going to use the left hand lay stuff for? John
  9. Henk, Just keep remembering to cut the slots in the bulkheads and not yourself! John
  10. I managed to get a bit of work done today, but no photos, unfortunately. The bowsprit is now permanently fitted (I hope I don't regret it later), I replaced the anchor shaskles and got a bit of work done on the main mast and top mast. I took my camera in to the museum with a set of fully charged batteries only to find when I get there that my 'alternate brand' set of batteries had lost their full charge in only four days! Oh well, photos next time! John
