Jerry got a reaction from Elia in BLUENOSE By Jerry - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64
Hello Popeye..
Hope you are well. My visit to the Ophthalmologist yesterday was a good one indeed. She told me that everything is healing well and reduced the number of times for my eye drops and doesn't wan to see me for three weeks. She also told me that at this time I can get a pair of the same type of glasses as you have. I own a pair of 2.75 (used in the past) and that is very helpful for reading and computer work. I don't need anything for distant vision and this surprised the doctor. She told me that I'm one of about 5% who have had this type of operation that didn't become near sighted. I really am lucky.
I began the rat lines today and found it easy to see with the magnifier and the reading glasses..
Here are some pictures I took since the last posting:

Hello Popeye...
Your kind comments are very much appreciated. My eyes do get tired after awhile since i have to do everything behind a magnifier so I usually work a few hours and then call it a day. I have made some additional progress and am just about ready to step the main mast and begin the running rigging. Here are some pictures which show where i'm at.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Jerry got a reaction from Jond in BLUENOSE By Jerry - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64
Hello Jon,
Thank you very much for visiting my log. I'm very curious as to what your project of the Bluenose is all about. You say you are building a larger version that will possibly sail. Is it a scratch build or have you found a kit that is of larger scale. For several years I have raced R/C sailboats, the Soling and Seawind among them. It was fun while it lasted but eventually i turned to the present hobby of building model ships. So, Jon, please visit again and let me know what you are up to in more detail.
Have a great weekend,
Best,
Jerry

Hello Lawrence..
Many thanks for your visit and nice comments. I will certainly take your advice as it is the same as the ORDERS I have received from the admiral. She said that the last thing she needs is a husband who has to be helped gluing dead eyes and blocks in place.
So it's time for a northern trip again. Charlene joins me in wishing you both a very enjoyable holiday and hope you both come back well rested and happy.
Yes, I am moving along with the build; I guess I'm trying to make up for lost time. I'm working on the main mast now getting the shrouds and stay hung. This is the first time i have ever rigged these lines on the bench. It seems to work well except that there are lines hanging all over the place.
So have a great time and stay healthy and well.
Best,
Jerry (and Charlene)

Hello Lawrence..
Yep, it feels great to be back in the shipyard and working away on the Bluenose. My eyes seem to be able to stand the strain of the mini works although I lose focus from time to time. The doctor told me that would happen for about three months and then the focal point will settle in so that i can get a prescription for glasses. But I really am having fun. I was able to drive to the doctor's office on Tuesday and that was another marker because for several weeks I felt like a prisoner in home arrest. Best regards to the admiral and hope to visit with you one of thee days on Skype.
Best,
Jerry

Good morning, Dr. Per..
Thank you very much. All seems to be going well now and the model is moving along. More stays to do today and then comes the main mast.
Take care,
Best.

P.S. Some additional pictures to bring the photos up to date...

Hello again..
Just a short note to say that I was able to work with the tiny dead eyes and managed to complete the rigging of the foremast shrouds with their lanyards. Have a great evening everyone and..

Good morning everyone..
First I'd like to say hello to Dan...Thanks you for visiting my log and for your good wishes. I hope you have much success with your Bluenose and enjoy the build as much as I am. I look forward to watching your progress...
Dr. Per...So nice to hear from you again, The Bluenose is popular indeed...and also a decent challenge. At least that's what I'm experiencing. Please call again..
Rick,,,I appreciate your visit and your very nice words. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to my log. I hope you have much success with your build and i'm very happy that my log may help you. It's a pleasure to know that my efforts may pay off.
Bob... It's nice to meet new people so many thanks for stopping by and for your nice comments. Please come back again and watch me prod along toward the finish line.
As for progress, I have finished the foremast shroud dead eye attachments. The next dead eye to be rigged is the 2.5mm one to be attached to the top mast shroud. The fact of the matter is I can hardly see the darn thing, let alone rig it. I hope my magnifiers will come through. Here are a couple of pictures to illustrate what I'm ranting about.
Berst,
Jerry
