There are no more words, only work helps to distract a little from this tragedy. I wish everyone good health!!! At first I couldn't believe the scale of the tragedy - then to find the litany of safety defects that caused the death and injury toll to be so high arose from simple greed. Appears to be everywhere you turn now- I had difficulty reading the text messages but particularly the one from the little girl trapped in the Cinema to her Parents outside. Rest little children. aviaamator 1 Quote

G.L. Posted April 26, 2018 #223 Posted April 26, 2018 Aviaamator, I will follow your sail making with lot of interest because I am preparing to make sails for my shrimper as well. I have also never worked with a sewing machine. I could certainly use an assistant like Jung. The small metal rings to sew around the holes seem me very handsome. Can you show how you put them in place? I wish you a speedy recovery, G.L. mtaylor and aviaamator 2 Quote G.L.

aviaamator Posted April 26, 2018 Author #226 Posted April 26, 2018 I use thin-walled copper tubes used by electricians to make eyelets. With the help of a curved metal rod, I unfold the walls of the tube. Then, with the help of a knife, my little helper Andrew cuts off part of the tube of the desired length. Shilom pierce hole in the sail, insert the grommet, then using a cone and a light hammer fix the eyelet. If you have more questions - please ask me ! Quote
