Keith Black Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share #677 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Back in the saddle again. A heart felt "thank you" to all of you for the kind comments, likes, and seasons wishes. It's been a very long time (too long) since I've posted any actual work progress. It's mostly due to the fact that so much of this work is rote and and until recently, during those mindless moments, my mind would drift to things I'd rather not think about but once past Christmas all that seems to have passed. I find myself stealing a couple of hours here and a couple of hours there to go upstairs and work on the Tennessee and I'm enjoying the time I spend working on her. So much so that I've made a New Year's resolution, to finish the Tennessee this year, well, at least the rigging. I've been working on the main mast and all that's needed are the ratlines. Once again I'll be using the weaving method as this works best for me at this scale. A good days work should see that task completed. I'd like to have a sunny day to do the ratlines but sunny days in a Michigan winter are few and far between so it'll probably be a cloudy day but oh well. Again, thank you.

mbp521 Posted January 16, 2023 Share #680 Posted January 16, 2023 So glad to see you back at the bench again Keith! I can’t wait to delve into the upcoming updates. Kind of the opposite with the sunny days, I tend to find myself wanting to work on a build more on the cloudy days and wanting to be outside on the sunny ones. Of course wintertime sunny days can be a bit deceiving sometimes here in Texas, I can only imagine a sunny day in Michigan in the winter. I’m sure that would change my thinking in a hurry. -Brian AJohnson, Keith Black, FriedClams and 5 others 7 1 Quote Current Builds: Completed Builds: Mississippi River Towboat Caroline N.

Keith Black Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share #690 Posted January 17, 2023 2 hours ago, TBlack said: How do you break a needle? That must be a first! A #12 needle is a tiny little bugger, it's very thin. When pulling the needle through the shroud lines, the eye of the needle and the ratline thread doubled must pass through the shroud lines. It's a bit of a tug and most of the time I use a pair of jewelry needle nose pliers to pull the needle through. I work from right to left and I was pulling through the far left line and got lazy. Using my left hand I had my index finger on the backside closer to the tip and the needle squeezed between my thumb and middle finger nearer the eye. A little tug, a little pressure, and snap! A small needle snapping in half while being held between your fingers is a bit disquieting. All sorts of imagined ill pass through your mind so I withdrew for the evening. And yes, I gave myself a good scolding. mbp521, FriedClams, clearway and 5 others 3 5 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
