From me, I would say...... to both of you. And the secret is, use a small plastic cup of some kind to transfer the glue.
-
LivingStoneMan, I just found your build log, and all I can say HOLY Boxwood...... Secondly I would give you a Warm Wow, are you living close to the border of Congo? And What are you doing there, besides being the reincarnation of Dr.Livingstone? I think many of us are wondering...... Thirdly, That build is coming along extremely nice, and as David B. said "it is not a race" unless you are racing against yourself.. -
Ronald, sometimes ME are short of material to complete a kit. It's not unussual. And I think the Constitution is manufactured to order.
-
Those are great crates as for cargo. Why not wrap them with a thin wool HD ( high dense) material...... oh, yes that's the way I would go....
-
GentleGiant, Look at the parts list and explain the material to us, but to me it looks like a drum piece made out of brass. This will help us unless someone else has the list and will be able to give a direct explanation. Good luck
-
GentleGiant, Use medium CA (15-25 sec.) to glue the cleats to wood. This will give you the best result, when it comes to CA glue "Less is More", an activator helps to strengthen and shorten the time. In general you when gluing metal to metal/wood/plastic or in any combination, CA is the best applicator. Good luck

We should be very fortunate of having Jasons and Chucks companies around. Saves a lot of extra time instead making your own blocks and lines.
-
Tim, I have no doubt that Jason work is top notch, I am to order from him when it comes to my Syren, if not before.....
-
Oh oh, another sale from Jeff. Better be ready with the wallet, was lucky last time.

The symbol Ø represent the drill bit diameter for making the hole. If part 46 and 47 are to installed then yes, those should be installed, use part 47 to line up the holes. Guessing part 46 is the rudder stock. Drill that hole in sequences starting with smaller drills going up to 6mm. Your Bounty is coming along nicely.

Pat, The Endeavour is beautiful...... and then the rigging is another chapter itself! I just realized I am missing a book in my library, a book shown in the second to last picture for the moment. Anatomy of the Ship - Endeavour Btw, how's the summer?

Creating the downhaul ring for the boom was harder than I anticipated. The first one (top) came out to large The second one (bottom) to much CA, which is revealed in the picture but not with the naked eye...... go figure... And the bottom one is not in the shape of a circle. However this is the one I am going with.

As Mark mentioned, so far the little group of society for finding the cure of Shipaholism are struggling........ The client and test group is to small to get accurate readings out from the trials. I am fully aware about the bookaholism, toolaholism situation...... still of today, it is an small but expanding group. But, once there... we are looking at the Nobel Price! As for the Endeavour, looking sharp! Keep us posted!

Jud, I still have the drill, maybe I will try it someday.

Bluenose2, I think it will be much much cheaper to dispose the drill and get another one than having it re-shaped. Think I could some 20+ drills for some the shop price, or even more...
-
I thought in order to bend a bit like this you need some heat..... maybe a carpet is good enough... The length: oh sorry, total length only 2 3/4 inches ( about 6.2 cm) long. Could have been stepped on, never felt it though......
-
Well, my home made hooks didn't come out uniformed. Funny though they are all the same length. Seven hooks and the mast ring. It was a long time since I did some soldering, but the butan powered soldering pistol it worked out fine. Think the heat was greater than with an electric. The ring has been drilled for the boom-hook.

So I had done drilling and lost a one of the HSS drill bits in carpet, when I found it it looked like this. Most of my bits going of like this has been broken. Take a look and ponder about it.

The "lift rings" were hard to get round, so I settled with the second best. Now both of them are in place and not glued to the boat. They are movable.
