Woodwork/Model making workshop. Scale 1:1
Altduck replied to Charter33's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I Like what you've done with lots of outlets and above the bench. You can never have too many places to plug things in. All i n all, a marvelous workspace! -
Help identifying anything about this ship?
Altduck replied to tula's topic in Nautical/Naval History
From Post #1, The attached photo is of a ship in the background of an early 19th-century portrait either produced in Spain or possibly the New World. -
Looks Good! Nice recovery from an unfortunate setback.
-
Sorry about the damage; looks to me like quite a few hours just getting back to where you were on this build.
-
Yes it is, and your planking looks really good - tight fits and symmetrical.

Where in California? I'm in Roseville, and I have a Byrnes thickness sander that I doubt I will use in the future. PM me if you wish to pursue it

I just "found" this build and it is one beautiful model. Love all the detail, especially the interior with the maps and mags and all. Well Done.

This would increases the surface speed from about 2,700 to about 5560 Ft/minute; will heat be a problem?

Reminds me of the tale I heard once: "George Washington's hatchet that he used on the legendary Cherry tree. All original except that the head was replaced once, and the handle 3 times."

Maybe his coffee eats thru the bottom of the mug.....

They sure are pretty little tools. Which size did you get, and how did you decide?
-
Yes

And you also have to be sure not to "Pass Wind" (Methane), and hold your breath so you don't exhale any CO2 -
I used Gin with my daughters when they were teething.

Elementary school clear glue?

Respect them, don't fear them. Such good advice, for many things, like, for instance, cars or firearms, Richard -
Just a thought from someone who's never tried it, but could you use steel pins (cut off brads), drill the holes a tad oversized, and use epoxy to fill the gaps and give you some wiggle time to align the pieces before it sets up?

Sounds like this product would have been a strong candidate for the Alferd Griner Packer award for culinary excellence.

I like the riser stands he made for his drill press & milling machine.

This one doesn't have a curved barrel. It's a Glock pistol mounted in the front section over the light and camera, with an extended trigger arrangement, and the modest (9mm?) recoil is to the side, in line with the pistol barrel. Still, not exactly a target gun.

OK, my bad - wrong abbreviation for Assistant 🙂

Yes, I had the same experience in the 90's but it was with my Grandson. When we were kids, the sets had lots of "real" chemicals and you could do neat stuff with them. My favorite was flash powder in a large gelatin Capsule you could buy by the box full at the local pharmacy and fill yourself. They were compounding pharmacists in those days, not just pill peddlers, so they had lots of chemicals, too. I packed these in my backpack for Boy Scout camping trips, to toss in the campfire. Stopped doing that after our ***'t Scout Leader demo'd his rugged Backwoodsman skills by bending down over the fire to light his cigarette on a burning log - at just the wrong moment. Good Times, they were.

I prefer jpeg rather than heic for all my iPhone photos for compatibility when downloading or sending them. To do this on an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings - Camera - Formats and select "Most Compatable" Maybe not as good, technically, as heic but meets my needs with lower hassle factor.

Aha. I see that what I thought was a wrap is a shadow. It's clear to me now looking more closely at this and your other photos. The Nonsuch is an interesting design that I never sailed. My experience is limited to sloop rigged boats in the 30 - 40 foot range, in and around SF Bay. I'm enjoying following your build, and imagine if I were aboard and sailing her. Brings back fond memories of when I was younger and able to get out on the water. Good times.

She's looking very good, and realistic. If you will pardon a picky comment, though, I note that the line on the winch on the cabin goes counter-clockwise; I believe it and all lines to winches should go clockwise like the mainsheet to the winch on the port side of the cockpit.
