This is this detail on the replica of the "San Salvador" in San Diego, seen from the deck.

I would not use CA glue to reinforce the ratline knots, but rather diluted white PVA glue, which dries invisible and doesn't crumble away after some years, like CA.

Tool to Take Measurement Inside of a Hull

I found this somewhere in the abyss of my external drive. (Unfortunately, I don't remember who the author is and where it was originally posted...) Hope this helps, Thomas

It looks like a beefier vertical drill press to me, rather than a mill, otherwise how do you attach your workpiece to the flat table, to mill it? I have once bought from the Sherline factory for my Sherline mill, this "sensitive drilling attachment" to drill hundreds of holes in my blocks I made for my "Frenchie", because I was already developing early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome constantly cranking the mill up and down manually. 😏 The attachment works like a charm, BTW!!! (Pity, because in the meantime, I had already drilled most of my holes before getting this attachment...) Thomas PS: You can buy such an attachment not just for the Sherline mill, but there exist many drilling attachments designed for many different mills, just search the net!

Repurposing Pool Cue Lathes?
Dziadeczek replied to Rich Sloop's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Undoubtedly, manually shaping of the masts/spars from square to round, is the more authentic method, but I always use my old Sherline long bed lathe for this task. Also, I use a Steady Rest to prevent wood deflection during turning. Still, for my French 74 1:48 by Boudriot, for some very long spars, I had to turn them in halves, drill holes in their ends and connect them together with a dowel & glue. You cannot see the joint now. Using a lathe is quite faster and more accurate than doing it manually, I think. In the end, it is a matter of personal preference... 🤔 -
12 to 14 minimum.

Splendid little model, very well done, considering the clinker planking! 👍 I only would recommend that for your rigging, try to get a little tighter twist of the yarns (threads)...

My introduction on Model Ship World
Dziadeczek replied to ANDY GRAY's topic in New member Introductions
I seem to remember that Doris was building one of her spectacular models with lighting inside (was it the SotS or the Royal Katherine?). Check out the old posts of her and find out. Maybe you'll find your answers there? -
Need small repair done on jibboom of Le Superbe model
Dziadeczek replied to Mr. Matt's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
You probably could do it by yourself fairly easily, by replacing a wooden (?) dowel properly shaped for a jibboom and rerigging this part. Just don't forget before the removal of all ropes to take a series of close-up photographs of the existing situation to make sure where each line goes and replace them later on, one-by-one. Good luck, Thomas -

I managed to 'color' this image (texturize) in Meshy6 - that's how far I was allowed to go there free of charge.

Clear shellac or Danish oil - my choices. Home centers like Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware, or so...
