Paddy, You're raising frames... cool.. Looks great and I like the way the guns turned out.
-
Maury, I hope Chuck or someone knowledgable has the answer on the windlass bars. I'd think they'd be no taller than a man standing in the boat could use. 5-6 feel long???? Looking super...

Impressive stove work, Ian. Looking great. And thanks for showing us the bottle opener. That's one that will never break.

Smack me upside the head and tell me to read the fine print.... I blew it. Gotta' go look......
-
John, Great looking deck. Are the belaying pins glued in? I'm thinking the difficulty of painting them if they are. I don't envy you taking her on the road, though I did much of Wasa in a motorhome.

Nice work on the ratlines and rest of the rigging. You're going to be done with this ship before you know it.

Mobbsie, I'm of the "you're the Captain, it's your ship" group. If all else fails, ask the Admiral. They like being asked about "decorating" issues.

Ouch.... dentists... ouch... Good idea to follow the wisdom, Piet. And as we all know, Admirals are very wise.
-
Beautiful... very well done.
-
Good for you on making the parts, Popeye. You'll probably be happier with the made parts than the bought parts.
-
Adriaan, Good to hear that things are ok except for the weather. Is there a build log for your paper ship(s)? I'd love to see them.

Richard, I have one and my review is here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/251-chop-saw-from-harbor-freight-review/?hl=%2Bchop+%2Bsaw The short answer is yes.. you can do small lengths. But you might think about reworking the mod I did for a cover to the front and top... the little parts do fly.

Alexandru, It doesn't matter what order the pictures are in.. they're all spectacular.
-
Popeye, Nice work on the blocks and hearts. Fiddly little things, aren't they? Mobbsie, That's an excellent philosophy which I haven't heard in years. Thanks for the reminder.
-
Grant, Fantastic work on that 'little' boat. Excellent details. No suggestions from me... I'm just enjoying the view.

Nice work on the treenails and hull. -
Richard, The Arbor Tilt isn't too much saw if you'll be using it for other things. If cost were not a consideration, the Byrnes saw would be the ideal table saw. You are correct that a scroll saw wouldn't do what you want. However, a band saw could be used for ripping and also do much of what a scroll saw does. For an inexpensive chop saw, take a look at Harbor Frieght: http://www.harborfreight.com/bench-top-cut-off-saw-42307.html

Robert, It just keeps getting better and better. There's something almost ethereal about the white bone. Just incredible.
-
John, You are flying on this... and looks super to boot!!!
-
Piet, I work the same way on some judgment calls. Boy, that is a tough one.
-
Sweet looking guns and great tutorial..
-
Ed, Thanks for sharing this journey and all the tips and techniques. A feast for the eyes and the mind. It's almost sad to see this build come to an end, but endings are necessary. This build is one that should be savored by the both you and us. Glorious...!!! Here's hoping you'll soon have sawdust scattered about the workshop again soon.
