Just catching up, Bob. That's one very pretty yacht and will make a fine model! John -
Best of lick with the desktop, Michael. In the meantime - just keep making shackles! John

If you have all your stuff stewn over the chart table I bet your 2nd mate gets p....d off when he wants to work on the charts! John

SS Vinal Haven by TBlack - FINISHED
Jim Lad replied to TBlack's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
I don't build in styrene, Tom, but I don't see why the wheelhouse couldn't be made from one piece with a little judicious heating. John -

Thanks for the overall view of the model, Tom. She's really looking good! John -
Why have I only just come across your beautiful build, Bob? Delighful work, mate! John
-
Nice sails, Popeye and yes, the reef lines should be on both sides of the sail as you said. John
-
Oh, yes! Delightful, Michael! John
-
Daddy's Girl was certainly a step up, Scott, but I must say hios first boat is more like what I thought an American shrimp boat would look like! John
-
Great pictures of your dad's boat, Scott - and I love the one of you at 16 with your dad. The model is coming along really well. I'm looking forward to seeing your updates. One thing about building your model on board - no one is going to tell the Old Man, "Hey, you can't leave that thing there!" John
-
Very nice (as usual) Michael. John
-
Nicely done, Danny. I wonder if there's a Druxey Challenge Cup? John
-
A fully working windlass, no less! John
-
Certainly will stay tuned as you take up the 'Druxey pin challenge'.! John
-
She certainly is coming along nicely, Jason. Your's is coming along much faster than the original! John
-

Michael, As the knee has to be shorter, it might look better if you made it taller to compensate. John
-
That's a great set of pictures, Michael - and a pawl set up that I haven't come across before! John
-
Steve, In this close up of the windlass on a small British coaster you can clealy see the anchor cable around what are also clearly wooden staves on the drum. It sounds crazy, but there you go! Michael, it this photo you can see that the post is almost touching the windlass. John
-
Yeah, Michael - that looks more 'conventional'! John
-
Absolutely delightful work, Robert. John
-
A brave move, but I bet you feel a lot happier now that you've done it, Alexandru! John
-
Michael, Why not leave the pawl on the centreline and use a longer post so that the pawl drops down on the pawl wheel from above, which is the more usual arrangement? The post can also be quite close to the windlass with the pawl (or pawls) being quite short. John
