shipmodel Posted 20 hours ago #2671 Posted 20 hours ago Hi Marc - I finally got fully caught up with your excellent progress after some time away for life matters. Great work on the decorative details. I can only envy your casting and molding success. These are skills that I have never mastered. I agree with your decision on the capstan. As far as I know it was a transitional time for this element and either style would be appropriate, but the earlier style is more 'stylish', IMO. I am scheduled for surgery of my own - knee replacement - in January, so we can compare crutches.

Hubac's Historian Posted 20 hours ago Author #2672 Posted 20 hours ago Thank you, Dan! Although knees can be difficult to rehab, it is good that you are doing this sooner, rather than later. In fact, once you have fully rehabbed, you will probably wonder why you waited so long. To be free of that sort of pain is transformational!

shipmodel Posted 10 hours ago #2673 Posted 10 hours ago At 75 I have survived all of the transformations that I care to. I'll be happy if I can walk around the block at a brisk, non-transformational pace.
