CDW Posted March 14, 2019 Share #721 Posted March 14, 2019 Interesting. So, are you just slipping the spar into the curved underside of the blade then letting the tool carve the spar as you draw it across the spar? I have one of those tools but never considered using it for anything but plastic scribing.

I have one of those tools but never considered using it for anything but plastic scribing. I used it already on the dowels I put inside the masts (to strengthen them) yep - just a case of scraping using the curved insode section of the blade, Its very sharp and did a great job, the idea is to do the same after making on the dowel each end where to start tapering it.

CDW Posted March 14, 2019 Share #723 Posted March 14, 2019 Very clever how you found an unintended use for that tool. Indeed, that blade is very sharp. And it comes with extra blades inside the handle.

Old Collingwood Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share #729 Posted March 17, 2019 Evening all, firstly sincere thanks to all the likes/followers and comments - so onwards and upwards with the ratlines on the foremast, I decided to fit them by eyeball rather than making a paper mask, seems straight forward enough - just tricky as you need six pairs of hands to tie/ tention and glue the lines around each shroud, getting the spacing is fairly easy to do though - I have been rotating from side to side. Just a few pics.

Old Collingwood Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share #736 Posted March 17, 2019 So - more ratlines to be done tomorrow then they will need a tidy up of thier ends, one thing did happen while I was working on them - I managed to break off the topgallant where it meets the topmast 🤧I was able to keep it in place due to the stays - I put loads of ca around the break and that seems to have done the trick........"Phewww.....🤞" OC.

Old Collingwood Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share #744 Posted March 21, 2019 Evening all, I have completed attaching the two topgallant post tention ropes, down on to the two deadeyes - this means the foremast/bowsprit is now fully tentioned to each other, while I was in the mood I decided to give the whole ship several clear matt coats, to flatten everything down as the paintwork still had a bit of a sheen to her.
