Hi Sjors, you asked how my Supply is ...... my Supply is still in dry dock.... as for the camera, It is supposed to be returned today , I'd go get it myself, but my feet and ankles are swollen up so I'm trying to keep off my feet as much as I can.

Now that you're thru entertaining relatives ........ time to get back to work and entertain us here at MSW!!
-

Excellent work Peter.... looks just great!! Frank

Hi Derek........ your Victory is looking "Smashing" ( I think that's the term you Brits use ). You've come along way and your efforts have certainly paid off. Excellent work Derek!!...... Glad you enjoyed the vid..... I.ve got a place reserved for the Oscar you are sending me Frank

HI Ron..... the deadeye spacer looks good... you might want to cut the top of it down a little so you can see the deadeye, it makes it easier to tie the shroud to it . I hope I'm not jumping ahead here, but it looks like you set just one shroud. They should be set in pairs . Take a look at the plans and you'll see what I mean.( 2 starboard-2 port -2 starboard- 2 port etc. ) Frank

Yeah, Augie is right on that..... ropes look good Popeye, nice work....... Good luck on getting your new camera, there are a lot of great cameras out there........ Was look'n at your signature... noticed at the bottom you say ..."other works in progress" ,last one says multi build...not started yet... what is that all about, I thought you were doing multi builds all along!! Frank

Nice work Sjors...... the shrouds look real good ,nice and taught....... I like that deadeye jig .... I think I'll try it out on my next build... Frank
-
Ron I'm sure 15mm will be the right distance for your deadeyes on the lower shrouds and 12 on the upper. I made s spacer out of a small pc of wood with nails thru it at the right width and distance between top and bottom deadeyes. I wish I had my camera , I'd send you a picture. But its pretty simple , I'm sure you'll come up with the right way.

Hi Ron ..... if you are referring to the ones that hoist the yard, yes I attached them after the shrouds were in place, the 2 k's went around the mast and came down thru the opening in the mast top( on top of the shrouds) Hope that was what you ment Frank

Hi Ron..... yes I did the parell beads on the foremast (2 ) and the gaff boom. They were easy enough to do ,but tying them around the mast itself was a pain, for me anyway. I don't think I tied them on correctly, but they're on and that's the way they stay . Are there any particular photos you need Ron ? I'm going to try and get back and finish this up, I've got all the rigging in place , just have to tie them off to their proper place . I just ordered a new macro lens for my camera, so hopefully I can get some good close up pictures when it comes in. I'm glad that my build has been of some help to you , but you're doing an excellent job without it. Just let me know what it is you need and I'll be happy to do what I can. Frank Scoot.... always nice hearing from you.... like I told Ron, hope to finish up my build shortly... When are you going to get your build back up? Its such great work. It should really be seen by all the new and old( for those that missed it ) members here!! Frank
-
Anja, I know what it is.... But, I'm not going to tell FrAnK
-
I've been threatening myself for the past 4 weeks to get things finished up..... finally got my work space tidy up today, so no excuses now... Maybe if you start your Goth again that'll give me some incentive or maybe I should wait until you get your Half Moon turned into a full moon .... I just wish I had your mind set and your talent , then I 'd be finished :D Frank
