Can you tell us some of the threads? -
Look on the bright side, at least you found out before you started the Soleil Royale. When you're ready to start your learning process, be sure to start a log on the project (or projects) as it's a great way to get help and meet other builders.

Portuguese Val Boat

That is a fascinating video, Michael. Nothing but hand tools and one man building. -
They do make IF digital readout thermometers. I wonder if that would help let you check different parts of the bed to see how close the temperatures are at various points.

Quick question for you, Chris. By pear wood, I'm assuming (bad move on my part to assume) that this not Swiss pear (pinkish) but unSwissed pear which is more "woody" colored? I've been reading the instructions and making notes.... maybe a bit of a bash (maybe some ebony or individual deck planks) but not much.

As kid, I remember very well the sonic booms over head. We lived just south of Wright Pat AFB, in Dayton. Part of the good about living there was in the 50's a lot of aircraft were being flown in for the museum. They also had a lot of aircraft coming and going that were being tested. The other part was the fighter squadron (long since gone) that seemed to everything as a group including loud flyovers while breaking the sound barrier.

I have my fingers crossed that things settle down in the world with this virus. Having a surgery being put on hold is not fun and probably more stressful than going through the procedure. I had a call from my surgeon today to cancel the Monday appointment. Hospital is full up and they even using the recovery rooms as wards. The other factor was my sinuses are in the pits with all the smoke filling our valley and coughing (which I've been doing lot of) isn't good for a heart procedure involving catheters.

uploading pictures

You may have to do the photos separately. Delete them from the doc, upload the doc, then upload the photos and insert them in the proper place. -
Idea : Printing fabric sails using heat transfer paper
mtaylor replied to modeller_masa's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I've printed silkspan with a color printer (ink jet, NOT a laser). Tape the silkspan to sheet of regular paper and then feed it through. With care, you can print both sides.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
