EdT Posted December 14, 2015 #1023 Posted December 14, 2015 The wheel is fantastic, Remco. I have been experimenting with a similar tube device for turning small (.20") belaying pins, but using cutting tools - and not shaped. For that I found that the tube had to be quite strong and also had to hold the turning from moving up as well as back. Not too successful, I'm afraid, so I am using a different method for holding the 032" brass and using files, but not with a pattern. Your method using files looks like a winner - but I don't think I'd go as far as using it on cannons. They really do not need that kind of support, anyway - in my experience. Great looking work.

michael mott Posted December 15, 2015 #1027 Posted December 15, 2015 Late as well, happy birthday Remco. Your ships wheel is one of the reasons that I think this forum is one of the best forums on the net. Not only is your work exemplary, but you took the time to show us how you did it. I would agree that your wheel is one of the cleanest crispest wheels that I have seen congratulations on both events.

wyz Posted December 25, 2015 #1028 Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas Remco! .... and a late birthday greeting as well. I would be remiss in my holiday shout-outs to not include you. Thanks for all the jaw-dropping detail you have built into the Kingfisher. Build logs like yours are a wonderful gift to the MSW forum ..... a present we open up with each of your posts. That galley stove will always get a big WOW! from me. Good things to you in 2016. mtaylor, Remcohe, Piet and 1 other 4
Remcohe Posted January 3, 2016 Author #1029 Posted January 3, 2016 Finally after a one year, the basic structure of the upper deck is finished. I never realised I was that slow building my ship :-) I don't plan to add more ledges between the carlings so there is a better view at the lower decks. Cutting the mortice in the wing transom was a bit tricky, especially as they had to be right the first time. Time to add tome more bits to the deck.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted January 4, 2016 #1044 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) G'day Remco If you look back in your log, just as I have just done, one year is bloody fast if you ask me, to make that piece of art. I have said it before, you're a true master, and I for one is so proud to be a witness to this.

SawdustDave Posted January 4, 2016 #1045 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Remco... I hope I manage to be around long enough to, one day, find the courage to build a POF model. If that time does come, I am confident that this Kingfisher log, along with EdT's beautiful "Young America Extreme Clipper", will be my primary references.... You guys are true masters, demonstrating skills for every modeler in the world to strive to emulate. For most of us, however, you guys make us feel like a high school runner setting out to run a four minute mile. Even for those blessed with a bit of God given talent, achieving that level still requires an inner effort I can only admire and appreciate even greater than the end product itself. I solute you sir.
