stelios Posted April 11, 2013 #1 Posted April 11, 2013 Dear all, Until my build log is updated with the lost posts, I take the liberty to post here the first three dead eyes that will be used on the shrouds. I have two reasons to brag about, firstly the iron work is respectable (consideling the size, and second I achieved a good macro picture (my other long forgotten hobby)! In order to get an idea, each square on the mat is 1cm by 1 cm. Stelios Current build: not decided yet. Previous builds: Traditional Greek vessel "Symiaki Skafi" (scratch) Traditional Greek vessel "Perama" (scratch) HMS Bounty (kit)
bhermann Posted April 11, 2013 #2 Posted April 11, 2013 That is some clean looking work, Stelios, especially at that scale. Thanks for sharing. Bob Current build -- MS Bluenose Future build - MS Flying Fish "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for." - William G. T. Shedd

Garward Posted April 11, 2013 #6 Posted April 11, 2013 Considering loadings which will test deadeyes in the course of rigging installation, it is necessary to solder the firm solder containing silver. On a photo the similar details made by me for Montanes.
