Old Collingwood Posted April 22, 2019 Author #875 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Good day all, many thanks for all the looks and follows, I picked up where I left off on the foremast top section - I fitted the top yard footrope then timmed the ends, next off I fitted the blocks to the topgallant yard then gave it a few coats of paint, then I attached it to the topgallant mast in the lowered position - it was than lashed and added a few dabs of ca to set it. I then made up somemore lift ropes - smoothed out the frays with watery pva, then I worked the rope from the top through the other ropes and down to the other tied off ropes on the bits, this was repeated both sides - then a footrope was fitted. A few pics folks - OC.

Old Collingwood Posted April 22, 2019 Author #876 Posted April 22, 2019 Abit more work done - I fitted some blocks at the ends of the mainformast yard, then made two sections of rope smoothing out the frays again using watery pva - then I ran the rope from a lashed end on the yard ends and through the blocks on the mainmast tops down to each bulwark handrail where they where looped then lashed around two inner bulwark fittings and then cut off with a dab of ca.

popeye the sailor Posted April 23, 2019 #877 Posted April 23, 2019 some really great progress here OC, although I think you might want to do the braces later.......these might get in the way she's look'in very good! sorry to hear of your mouth problems.......I can sympathize with you. I was the same.......I used to steer clear from dentists. if I told you what the last dentist I saw did to me, you'd fell the same way too. I even pulled a few myself, just so I wouldn't have to go. the last couple of years though, it became apparent that having them all pulled was my only option left......I began to develop abscesses and get sick. this last bout, caused me to go finally, and I couldn't have found a better guy....Dr. Beshay was fantastic......I not only didn't feel a thing....but he didn't screw around like the others! I found out, that all the others fed me a bunch of bull......it was just an all around great experience. I'm still waiting to get the final fitting, but I now have dentures......best thing I ever done! I don't like the adhesives, so eating with them is a bit harder to get used to, but I've been assigned to another dental tech, that is using a different type of fitting material, that helps to keep them in place. it's been so awesome to eat the foods that I couldn't eat before. sweet tooth...........bud, Captain Crunch was my staple for breakfast I started this journey back in October.........today, there are time I forget I have them in place!

I will just have to manage it the best I can that means keeping my mouth constantly sterilised with special mouth washes and I also use salt water a few times each day, the pain level is better at the moment gums are still very tender, have to watch what I eat - hard things are a no no. Still I have my modeling. OC.

CDW Posted April 24, 2019 #883 Posted April 24, 2019 The dental cost situation seems universally bad. People in the USA take South American holidays just to get their dental work done. They can actually come out ahead by spending the money to vacation in South America at a resort and get their dental work done there at the same time. I spent well over $12,000 cash for dental work that was a total rip off. I trusted the dentist and got screwed, had to get extractions anyway in just a few years after the expensive "fix".

Old Collingwood Posted April 25, 2019 Author #891 Posted April 25, 2019 Right then folks inlight of my nasher woes - I got some more work done on the pearl, I made the upper gallant mast by making a wood dowel mid section between both tops sections, this was then painted and weathered - this was put to one side while I measured up then worked by shaping the topgallant yard, this was also painted and set aside to dry. I decided that it would be easier to fit the yard to the upper mast while loose - so I semi glued it inplace with a dab of ca, then lashed it inplace. Here are a few pics showing it dry fitted inplace - its starting to gain some hight now. OC.
