I love what you came up with. Just because we offer suggestions doesn't mean you need to accept them. I'm like Steven, I'd love to see this in person.

Echo by davec - FINISHED - cross-section
mtaylor replied to davec's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Congratulations on the moving and house renovations. Having fun, right? The Echo is looking great. -
It's great to see you back and working on the build again. I hope the accident didn't do any serious damage to you.

Is this a kit or scratch and the scale would be helpful. For the brass, take a diameter from the actual gun (if you have it) or from the plans. Order stock appropriately (slightly larger) and then center and round the stock which is why to go slightly larger. For length, measure from the plans. I'm assuming you're wanting to make scale guns instead of something generic.

Welcome to MSW, kekeys. I hope you start a build log and let us follow you.

Aluminum? That sounds like a great idea and so much more robust and accurate than the plastic ones which are crap.

Moab: I use Sally's also for many items. If there's no Sally's around, just use any beauty supply shop. Y.T.: This will get you started: https://www.sallybeauty.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-SA-Site/default/Search-Show?q=tweezers

Plastic or wood?

White caulking?
mtaylor replied to Bare_Koala's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
A quick search on "craft" (for Chris Craft) in the kit area might give you some ideas. -
It's great to hear that you recovered. Like others, I've had it and it's not a picnic. I love your paintings.

Thanks, Chris. I took a look and am impressed. I've ordered from them before and they do have nice wood. Have to go dig HMS Visa out of mothballs.

What Druxey said. Maybe add some "mud" from the spring rains to the piers for high water marks above the weed/algae.

Cutting Planks
mtaylor replied to sfotinos's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I do what Downer suggests. There are sanders with miter gauges (small sanders from places like MicroMark) but they seem to "eat" too much material. -
Maybe this will help you get one started:

You can add those on the first post of a topic if you're the poster, Claire. If you're not the original poster, an admin or moderator can add them.

Rob, That's a great idea. Think about posting and sharing it here:

Hmm.. weird. I'm seeing them also if I go to IE11 instead of Chrome. OS is Win7. Very strange and very slow to load the page. Looking good now that I can see the pics but IE 11 loads all pages (not just this one) dead dog slow. Need to wrap my head around this. I'll also ask the Admins.

Just a suggestion... You could cut the one have made in half and fake the mounting to the shaft since it won't be seen. Then no need to make more. You could probably use the one you have for this. Unless there's more of the upper part that will be visible... then <shrugs> you'll have to make more.

Are you uploading them to MSW? There's a "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" at the lower left hand side. Hit "choose files". Once in put the course where you want the picture. Then use the left side of the thumbnail (high and hard to see) to insert the photo.
