Your aging and weathering is incredible. And may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.
-
Maybe she'll make them for you as most women think we men will break their wonderful machine. And actually, quite a few builders have the sails made by their wives.

Can you raise and lower the blade or is it fixed in position? I ask because I cringed when you said you "walked it down". If you can raise and lower the blade, next time, drop the blade to bottom, install your top (or if a Byrnes or other hobby type, the zero clearance stock) and then fire it up and slowly raise the blade.

Goldfinch by amateur - FINISHED - Scherft - 1:1 - CARD
mtaylor replied to amateur's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Looks great. Don't put them outside in the spring or I suspect some finches will be trying to mate with it. -
The entry steps look so much better re-fitted. And I apologize for my typing... I really need to proof read before hitting "submit".

Dereck, I have a thickness sander and also disc sander (with a belt) . Of those two, I can probably count one hand how many times I've used the disc sander. I have used the thickness sander, and wish it was a Byrnes but when I bought it, Byrnes wasn't making one.

You don't show power outlets but make sure there's plenty.

second plank
mtaylor replied to michael101's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Michael, Have you read the planking tutorials at the top of this subforum? They should put you on the right path. -
Susquehanna1, Post it here; https://modelshipworld.com/forum/41-traders-dealers-buying-or-selling-anything-discuss-new-products-and-ship-model-goodies-here-as-well/

Hi Dean, Welcome to MSW. Once you decide on a model, I hope you'll start a build log as it's a great way to get help and make friends. I think a lot of us have built the balsa and silkspan aircraft and crashed them. Like others, I've found wooden ships less likely to crash.

Wow.. unbelievable. As for the fan wiring.... just say it's in the conduit. By the way... is that a pencil on the desk?
-
Mark, Thanks for the complement. We all should be wearing masks and I'm glad you're getting one.
-
I'm not sure I'm going to like that post. It's good to be fighting and hopefully you'll be winning. What is that in photo?
-
What Pat said... just make sure the nail polish remover is acetone. They are making many that don' t have it. IsoPropyl won't dissolve CA.

Before you get into re-machining your arbor... have a look here: https://www.malcosaw.com/ I think you'll want the "cutting blades".
-
Mark, I went here to the Kit area and the pinned Index topic: There's 5 build logs with one showing as Finished. I hope this helps.
-
Thanks Pat. I'll go look the "sureform" and see if it'll work. I'm just taking my time with this sanding as I want the hull shape as perfect as I can get it.
-
Looking good, Edward. Double the plans. I don't think that black strip runs through the ladder/steps. I don't have my plans handy (stored away with stuff I've finished) so I can't say for sure.

Welcome to MSW, Tom. I'm looking forward to seeing your kits.
-
Not going to like that post but it's good that you had another set of eyes on it and sorted out the problem.
-
I don't think it's you. You doing a beautiful build and excellent research on something that's not well documented. The items you point out fall into that category of a documentation failure. If we just go back to the late 1700's and even the 1800's much hasn't been documented. Seems only when the industrial age from about 1900 on did the "known things" start getting documented.

I wonder if Giorgio is doing ok. He said he had some health problems and hasn't been online here since June of last year.
