What is your preferred work height?
Nirvana replied to Nirvana's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Here is information I found on a website: Guess these values can be used for fixed stations as well. I found that the countertop height of 36" is perfect for me when standing, while 30" when sitting. Depending on the chair. Then again adding a machine on the top and suddenly your work height has changed. Maybe I have to do some mock ups before going the whole way out. Height for Sitting Adjustable Work Surfaces Minimum: 25” - 30”; Range = 5” Optimal: 22” - 33”; Range = 11” Height for Standing Adjustable Work Surfaces Minimum: 38” - 42”; Range = 4” Optimal: 35” - 47”; Range = 12” Height for Sit-to-stand Adjustable Work Surfaces Minimum: 26” - 40”; Range = 15" Optimal: 22” - 47”; Range = 25" -
There is a great free software for resizing batches of pictures at one and the same time. Try this one, it's been around for a long time. FastStone Picture Resizer. Go to the Cnet.com, then open the dropbox download and search for the program. Now the size i.e 1600x1200 doesn't mean that you will use the whole 2Mb of picture weight. It all depends on what kind of setting you used with your camera from start. Just my two cents,

We are working on our ships in various environments. So, what'should your preference of comfortable working height?

BigCreekDad, If you want to add the simulated bolts as mentioned in several of the inputs by drilling and filling. I would recommend to make a template, using sewing needles that has been inserted into something hard, approximate three boards wide. You are now wondering why. Going three boards wide, you will be able to center nails easily. Glue the needles. Now using a hammer, tap in the area you want to be marked and then drill. This way you will have an even marking and on the plus side the drill will not wander of the target. Just my two cents

I also have two Dremels, one heavy-duty (corded) but also the cordless 8050. Using Flexshaft with the mini-chuck just like on the cordless. No problem on my side, got a heck of a deal on the 8050 at WalMart. If nobody knew this since before but here is some history about Dremel. The tools were originally developed by Albert J. Dremel, who founded the Dremel Company in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993, the company was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH, and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation located in Mount Prospect, Illinois.

Don't thank me, it's a tip from our own Chuck. Did you download the new freezes from the locked instructions of Chuck's. Turned out that many provided in the kits were to small.

Very nice detailing!

Mr. Pucko Bending plywood is so tough, and many times resulting with broken piece instead. Has happened to me as well. And now we have to wait another four weeks before seeing the next step. At least you are not rushing this build.

I would say in Europe general. Very common in Scandinavia too.

TigerSteve, Fixate the freezer with hairspray before handling them, this to avoid smudging them.

Pucko, I guess you have to find another ship to work on in between the issues. Looking forward to seeing more of this Vasa.

Steve, You got that right, a lot of sanding is needed. But the outcome is well worth it. Your longboat looks really nice.

Chuck, I like the idea of working playdoh before the wood. Interesting approach and how-to. Besides if it goes wrong it's just to start over again without any Woodloss. I think we have plenty of good carvers in here.

SomethingIsFishy Don't have medical as a proffession, but the Admiral has 25 years plus in the field. Now working the admin of medical for D.o.C (Department of Correction) for WA state. She has been a savior a couple of times when boo-boos has happened. Looking into the other build log of yours. Both looking very good.

Lou, Outstanding craftsmanship! Very nicely done.

Michael, for being phone pictures, they are really good.

CHBorgm, Timeless she is and a true beauty. When seeing her on the water is a pleasure, the steam engine and the whistle (same engine since launch in 1903). Makes a minimal wake. If you ever go to Sweden and Stockholm you have to take a tour with her.

I want to say sorry to Geoffrey,this based on the information Matrim provided. It looked so suspicious to me. I'm glad it got cleared. Looking forward to seeing this build progressing.
-
Geoffrey, I am a little confused. On the box it reads Hobby Line on the top left, while your plans reads Mantua. I am under the impression that you have a Chinese rip-off version of the original. Before you get into trouble with MSW, please read the topic regarding banned kits.

If there hadn't been an explanation I was wondering how Michael got a "third hand". Yes that is cheating, when all of us only has two hands. On the other (remaining) hand, lol, .. Michael... you are of to a very nice start.

Steve, you have gotten long into your build log, it all looks so good and clean. You will be done in short time.
