For some time he was not engaged in the construction of the model, because it is impossible to remain indifferent when people die in the fire, small children... 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,

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.

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 !

Hello Aviaamator,
Thank you for the informative presentation on the production of sails.
That's a very good performance.
To the width of the cloths of the sails I can inform you that these at the La Creole have a width of about 60 cm.
