newbuilder101 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share #632 Posted January 28, 2014 I have to say that I am truly humbled and amazed at the generous and supportive comments that I have received! They are greatly appreciated! Almost makes me want to break something and fix it again..........on second thought, maybe not. Crackers: Wow......Thank-you! S.os: Thank-you! Never been one to quit easily. Mark: Thanks for the support, now it's not just Anja and I. Danny: Thank-you! As already mentioned in an earlier post, I was inspired by your "fix". Sailor: Thank-you! I decided if I didn't fix it...who would? Shubenacadie is a lovely spot, I grew up in the Annapolis Valley. Wayne: Thank-you! I am satisfied with the repair. Theo: Thank-you! If everyone doesn't see the repair in the photo than that makes me happy, or everyone is just being very kind. Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

newbuilder101 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share #638 Posted February 5, 2014 Just a small update. The quarter gallery doors and windows/lights have been carved, painted and installed on both the port and starboard. The wood bases for the quarter gallery taffrails has also been installed - now to make approximately 120 tiny spindles for these railings. (spindles is probably not the correct nautical term - please feel free to tell me the correct one) popeye the sailor, Jeronimo, augie and 20 others 23 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

md1400cs Posted February 5, 2014 Share #642 Posted February 5, 2014 Sherry, I was a bit behind on following your wonderful build. I saw the lastest photos and thought Whoa so beautiful. It then occurred to me that I must have missed something, so I back-pedaled and saw the "crash" Oh no!! That being said, had I not gone back a few pages Hmmmm. Your fix is invisible (:-) Beautiful work!! Now just be sure to avoid enemy cannon shots to the hull. -------------- You folks certainly have had a real winter north of us.

Dan Vadas Posted February 7, 2014 Share #651 Posted February 7, 2014 Hi Sherry, "Spindles" = "Balusters" . Here are a couple of easy tricks to prevent your Balusters from becoming part of the carpet. 1. Hold BOTH pieces between your fingers when cutting. 2. Use a piece of double-sided tape. This will need replacing every so often as the glue gets dirty. 3. (no pic) Set up a box (open end toward the piece to be caught) lined with something soft like cotton wool or crumpled tissue behind the piece. This should at least give you a target .

newbuilder101 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #652 Posted February 7, 2014 Danny: "Balusters" - I knew I saw a different name for these somewhere here on MSW, but couldn't find it - thanks! Thanks for the tips! Idea 1: These tiny things are 9mm long and by the time I hold both ends, there's nothing left visible! They're also from round stock rather than flat, so a bit of rolling was involved in the cutting process which meant holding only one end. Idea 2: The tape is absolutely terrific for the trimming and tidying up I needed to do - worked like a charm. So simple and yet so effective! Idea 3: This is actually similar to what I ended up doing. I stretched a towel over a nearby chair with a little slack, and placed the chair tight to the table where I work - it "collected" the balusters like a football/soccer net! Too bad no points were awarded for hitting this "target"! Dan Vadas 1 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

casper1961 Posted February 8, 2014 Share #658 Posted February 8, 2014 Ok ok ok! Seems like you all missed the essence of Sherry's question about the "NAUTICAL" term for spindle. Now a spindle is a baluster, and a spindle/railing and newel post = a balustrade. But these were Architectural terms from a long time ago. Now, a spindle on a ship is not a baluster...it is a point that something rotates around like a capstan rotates on a spindle and the pins used to manually rotate a capstan may also be referred to as a spindle. So, let me put it out there again, is there a truly nautical term for a baluster other than baluster? BTW my term "spindle aye" means spindle yes! And it was meant as a joke! ha ha! lol Cheers Steve ps carry on freaking us out Sherry! WackoWolf and newbuilder101 2 Quote Built: Charles W.
