Richard, I use the bags they came wrapped in. You could also use various sizes of trash bags. Or, get the Admiral (or someone) to make some nice ones...maybe velvet in the color to match the room. Admiral's like that stuff.

I'll try that Jud. I've been squeezing the blank halves with clamps and then putting them under the glass. Insanity.. doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
-
Very impressive.

I'm making frame blanks for a Hahn method build using 3/32" thick cherry that's 1" wide. I edge glue the pieces for both layers and then after that dries, spread a thin layer of wood glue on one blank, put them together and press between two sheets of glass to keep everything straight. What I'm seeing is sometimes the wood warps and the bond isn't made at the edges. Is there a cure for this? Am I doing something wrong? Just hits me as very strange.

Looks good Jason. You are moving along quickly. Did you try soaking and applying heat to bend the planks? AL's wood isn't the best but it will bend with water and heat.

Wonderful... fantastic looking artillery, Piet. I hope you had a great birthday party.

Beautiful work, Garward. Will these be entered in a contest? They should be as they are that good.
-
Or, you can use fabric glue. Both seem to work.

Hi Ulises, You're doing a great job on her. I think you hit it dead center on why there's not more builds of her... cost and let's add size.

The one's on the right look like what CastYourAnchor has. Those will probably work for me... I'm also thinking if I can make some like Billing's sells but I need about 120 of them.

I'm looking for ring pins. Ideally, the Billing Boat's ones: http://www.billingboatsusa.com/149-bf0285-eyebolt-6mm.html However, after hitting about 15 webshops and no one has them in stock... I'm considering these: http://www.agesofsail.com/ecommerce/fittings/eye-4005-04-brass-ring-bolt-4mm-10.html They are photo etch and I'm wondering how they look installed. Has anyone used them? If those don't work, I guess I'll order these: http://www.castyouranchorhobby.com/item--Ringbolt%20-%203mm--ms0430 Or check my supply of eyebolts and split rings. Worst case... make some.

A flame???? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.................... <runs away screaming> Measure twice??? I thought it was cut twice. Oops... Indeed it was. And beer when I finished, even more so.

Nice work on the stem. By the way, could you please post in English which is the language of this forum?

Sam, That's a great solution to a pesky problem. Everything looks sharp on the carriages.

A good plan, Kats. I use a similar thing to raise the work area.
-
Beautiful work, Garward. It's good to see you back posting.
-
Lovely work on the taffarel, cap rail and all the fiddly bits, Danny. That is an interesting method.
-
I'm just catching up and I think you're at the gold standard... Sweet!!!!!

Alexandru, There was a Hard Drive crash during server maintenance. It took out some of the mirror also. Here's the link": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6021-server-maintenance-scheduled/ The Admins have changed the array for Hard Drives to prevent this in the future.
