Dziadeczek got a reaction from Twokidsnosleep in Advice on work station setup
This is a setup I built many years ago, following an article in an old magazine "Family Handyman" . This workbench is about 8 feet long, permanently screwed on into the wall so it hungs above the floor and therefore doesn't have any legs, so it is easier to sweep the dirt underneath it. It has its own light sources (fluorescent tubes), a dust extraction system for your power tools and three (originally four - in the article) drawers for your loose stuff/tools and/or materials.
I built only three sections (limited space), although the article shows you how to build a four sections' unit. Everything is obtainable in Home Depot or similar home centers. But, in order to build it, you must have at least basic hand/power tools, eg. full size table saw/circular saw, power drill, hammer, and so on.
If you want the entire article with plans, I could find it in my junk, scan the pages and send them to you.
Happy New Year!

Dziadeczek reacted to 0Seahorse in Szkuta wiślana (Vistula barge) by 0Seahorse - FINISHED - 1:100 - CARD - XV-XVIII century
Hello everyone,
as is often the case in life, various circumstances prevented me from showing the finished model earlier, including the war in Ukraine (I live 100 km from the Ukrainian border). But the time has come to present the rest of the work on the boat.
The very construction and making of individual parts was so trivial that it is difficult to write it in elaborations. As I treat this model as a test model, I decided to make a certain distortion, consisting in the fact that half of the ship goes to Gdańsk with grain and the other half goes up the Vistula with imported goods. This is because the rafting was carried out with the mast folded only with the help of oars, and during the return the mast was erected.
Since I had never done dioramas, so after many attempts to make grain in a scale of 1: 100, I gave up the idea and covered the entire cargo space with linen. I put barrels and bales of cloth in the bow part.
Laziness made itself felt when carrying out the rigging - the blocks are not made of cardboard (as would be recommended by the art of cardboard modeling), but of a 3D printer and painted.
Well, that's what I got out of this project.
Greetings
Tomek

Dziadeczek got a reaction from mtaylor in rigging to the French parrel, late XVIII C.
Hi Waldemar,
That was exactly my understanding (English version of the book shows exactly the same), but I wanted for someone else to confirm it.
I did exactly, like you suggested. Wrapped the parrel rope ends twice around the yard and tied them together crossing them in front of it. No falls whatsoever.
Still, I am doubtful that they did not have a possibility to loosen/tighten it somewhat, when necessary...
Thanks again!

Thank you Mark, for your post. Yes, I have the book you mentioned. Before I wrote my question, I checked it. Among many details of rigging explained by Mr. Frolich, I unfortunately did not find sufficient explanation on their parrel.
I need something like this, a drawing or a photo, showing where the lines (ropes) go. See post # 187
Unfortunately it shows a Dutch parrel, and a double one too. Perhaps the French one was similar, I don't know.
And Mr. Boudriot doesn't show this detail in sufficiently clear way...
Thanks again, Mark!
Regards,
Thomas

Dziadeczek got a reaction from thibaultron in rigging to the French parrel, late XVIII C.
Does anybody have a good illustration, perhaps a picture or a drawing showing the exact way of rigging to the French parrel for my 74 gun ship model?
J. Boudriot in his vol. 3, page 160 doesn't explain this very clearly and his drawings, being very small and sketchy, don't show the parrel-ropes exactly how they should run.
At least, I am not getting it...
It looks like this triple row truck-and-rib parrels (identical for both topsail yards, the Fore and the Main) differ quite a lot in their rigging from English practices and, frankly, to me, don't make much sense. I am not seeing, for example, their falls explained, how they run and how this parrel was loosened and tightened?
Any help will be very appreciated.

Now it's time to finish the head, so I had to start producing a long-delayed component - a figurehead. Making a figure using a CNC milling machine was quite a challenge for me. You can now judge the result.

Dziadeczek got a reaction from AlleyCat in Mini lathe for mast making etc.
If the bed of your lathe is too short for your masts/spars, turn them in sections, drill holes on both ends (also on the lathe) and insert short pegs there and connect them (wood glue) together. If both pieces are the same thickness, you won't see the connection.

Fantastic workmanship!
I am intrigued by this "cannula" of yours. Can you, in a couple of sentences elaborate, how exactly you use it? I see that it is a medical needle of sorts, mounted in a wooden handle.
Do you pass its sharp end through the bight of the rope and then feed the end of your rope into the channel of this needle and finally pass this through the rope?
Or else?

Thomas

Dziadeczek got a reaction from Dave_E in Rattlesnake by javajohn - Model Shipways - 1:64
Hi Javajohn ,
Since I built this model a long time ago, I don't remember now how long it took me to carve the transom. A few hours, at most. (I am a painfully slow modeler, I once knew a Japanese modeler, who would build three very intricate models in the time it took me to build one!)
Today I took a close up, macro pic of this transom. When I look at this pic, I think that it was rather a thin slice of boxwood I carved, instead of cherry - the color is more creamy/yellowish. The rest of the stern is cherry though.
I remember I made for this task a few tiny carving gouges, two from old discarded Dremel tips ground to the desired shape, and two or three from medical needles with their tips ground properly. You cannot buy such small gouges for this work anywhere, as far as I know!
Alltogether, this model is quite difficult and tricky to build, due to its small size. I remember they said that it was intended for an intermediate modeler, but I think that because of the size of tiny details and their delicate nature, it should be build by a more advanced modeler. One has to have a delicate touch and respect for the wood, plus very sharp tools...
PS: I just first noticed this glue blob oozing from the underneath of the lower left end of the transom; the pic is much larger than the model, so it exaggerates details and imperfections...
Happy modeling!

I carved my own transom from a thin piece of wood (cherry, if I remember).
