Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
mtaylor replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hmm... There seem seems to be a bit of Norm or Tim "The Toolman" Taylor in all of us in this hobby. Many of us are toolaholics, others, not so afflicted. Yes.. I'm afflicted but in my defense, I use them. Maybe not very well... but... I'm learning. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. -
It's great to see this one back, Mario. I guess the only build log missing is the Bounty Launch? <hint><hint>
-
NIce work, Walt. It's good to see you back in the workshop. I hope all else is going better as well.

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
mtaylor replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Shihawk, Maybe it's best for you to take the "wait and see" approach? You're on the fence, you don't know if you need or will even use a small table saw. When the time is right, you will know it. -
Thanks for the video Brian. I've got it bookmarked for when I start my rigging. I didn't realize you could that.
-
The short answer is "yes". Serve before attaching. But not all lines are served.... Off the top of my head, I don't know which.
-
Steve, It would let you serve the large line/cable only. As for the seizings, those would have to be done manually. So for a deadeye, you would serve the shroud, lay around the deadeye and then seize it. Third hands with two alligator clips are good for doing the seizing.

Congratulations again on these models and the honors.

Floyd, http://www.amazon.com/C-Thru-Ship-Curve-Set-6/dp/B000HEOHVC and http://www.draftingsteals.com/21270.html There's piles of listings.. Google: "ship's curves set".

Steve, Have a look at Gil's Victory log starting here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-jotika-172/?p=128568 That post and the next one. He explains it very clearly. The box is in my wood storage area (closet) and if I can remember where in there I stashed it, I'll see if there's instructions.

Beautifully detailed and built anchor, Alexandru.

Ask if they'll honor the prices. Then duck and run.

Hi JP... Looks good, sir, but I do have a comment and I'm not happy to make it. Are you putting the metal lids on? If so, you'll need a lip (porting lining) for the lid to rest against. If not... don't sweat it. If you're going to scratch the lids, then leave the lip on the lid and no one will be the wiser.

Diluting CA
mtaylor replied to jdiven's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Are you sure it's not "dilute PVA"? PVA can be diluted with water. CA, I'm not sure can be diluted. -
Hmm... near the ceiling? Is it time to lower the workbench or raise the ceiling? Looking super, Kevin. I guess once the weather changes we won't see her outside for a long while. Something about natural light just adds to the pictures.

Brian, I guess I should ask: define reasonable? Alexy (one of our sponsors) makes a very nice one that has a motor option: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/5366-serving-machine-25-serving-machine-20-power-option/?hl=serving I have this one: http://www.shipahoymodels.com/equipmentforsale.htm (near the bottom of the page).

Nice work on her. This kit is a pain in many ways but makes a beautiful model. I double planked using a thin cherry veneer but my colors are all off. When I was past the paint point for everything, they had just discovered that "not blue but red". So, while not 100% accurate, it's still a nice model. Plus there's other bits that research has uncovered and depending on the year of the kit, they may or may not be there. I'm following along as I think the Wasa is one of the nicer "over the top" ships.

Fantastic boats, Grant. So fantastic, I'm giving up this hobby and taking up underwater basket-weaving.

Walt, Put the reivews here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/18-modeling-tools-and-workshop-equipment/

Denis, Just super fantastic and I darn near missed the finish line.. whew!!!! Now as for the gallery... have a look here, about halfway down the first page are the instructions but read the whole topic as there's some info on which gallery, etc. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/359-completed-model-gallery-is-for-completed-models-only/ Now you have no excuse not to share the final pictures. :)

Keep on "boring" us, Piet. It ain't done until it's done and this has been a trip I would not have wanted to miss.

Go here and hit "Wood Samples": http://www.dlumberyard.com/wood.html There's a listing for Alaskan Cedar. You can also go here: http://www.wood-database.com/ where numerous cedars are listed.

Frank, Let's be glad these are scale planks and that a bit of alcohol (on the planks and sometimes in the builder) help immensely. Nicely done on removing the offending planks. As for the "last repair"... hmmm... I always thought that's we did.. non-stop repair?
-
Yes. It will be flush at the mid deck camber and rise up out toward the outboard edges. Thus, flat track, cambered deck.... hmm... I've seen pictures of some ships around the Civil War period that seem to have pretty flat decks and pivot guns.
