Bob Cleek Posted June 7, 2020 Share #189 Posted June 7, 2020 She's coming together beautifully, Kevin! Thanks for sharing so much with us. I know that can take as much time as the modeling! BTW, I stumbled across your movie, Tobago 1677 on Amazon Prime last night. I enjoyed it a lot. MSW member Ab Hoving's cameo was noted, too! mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #190 Posted June 8, 2020 So glad you found Tobago 1677 on Prime. We had such fun making the film. It took 9 years to raise the money to make the documentary, but has not been a financial success. I still have many of the guns used to make the film. Anyway i did not do it to make money, just wanted to record the history which is lost on so many of my countrymen.

jaybeckham Posted July 26, 2020 Share #199 Posted July 26, 2020 Kevin, I was watching your video on doors and windows. What you need to do is to get a 40 or 50 watt Chinese Laser Cutter. I have a 50 Watt and can cut all kinds of wood e.g. Basswood up to 1/8 inch, so called aircraft Birch plywood and many other suitable hobby woods and wood products. Doesn't work well on plastics because of fumes but does work on acrylics. Your windows and doors on the Naparima would have been much easier to cut with laser vs by hand. If you want more information just email me. NOTE FROM MODERATOR: (Email address removed to keep you from getting spammed. Please PM's to exchange email.)
