augie Posted May 27, 2013 #602 Posted May 27, 2013 I think many of us went through that "re-training" in school. Mine didn't take so I'm a lefty with ambidextrous tendencies and the handwriting of the doctor's prescription . Last I heard they don't try to change a kid's dominant hand. Less confusing to the kid. I pitch and write left, bat and golf right and can work most power tools with either.

realworkingsailor Posted June 1, 2013 Author #627 Posted June 1, 2013 Micheal: Don't worry... I won't So a small update as work in the shipyards begins to wind down again. A little prep-work on the mizzen stay. I made the mouse out of a piece of 1/8" dowel painted black. Also, you can see the lashing where the stay attaches to the main mast. Wasn't really sure how this was supposed to be done properly, so I followed what TFFM IV said for the bowsprit collars and tried to make something plausible. Incidentally, for those keeping score at home, I've decided to at least try attaching the blocks under the fore and main tops with toggles, instead of the eyebolts on the crosstrees. I don't think I'll get to that anytime this weekend but we shall see. It all depends on how badly I want to wrap up the lower mizzen mast standing rigging.

trippwj Posted June 1, 2013 #628 Posted June 1, 2013 Looking really good, Andy. realworkingsailor 1 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
Blue Ensign Posted June 1, 2013 #629 Posted June 1, 2013 If you go down the toggle route Andy I would suggest you drill the slots for the strops before you fit the battens that radiate across the top. I had to remove and re-jig some of the battens because they cut across where the slots should be. The slots incidently fall behind the forward crosstrees and aft of the aft crosstrees. I found this quite a tricky exercise at 1:64 and I'm not sure how much will be apparent once all the top hamper is fitted. Still it satisfies the inner masochist I suppose.

realworkingsailor Posted June 1, 2013 Author #630 Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks BE Just quickly eye-balling the fore and main tops, I should be ok. I may need to joggle the spacing a little bit, but I hopefully won't have to relocate any battens. I'm probably also just going to drill a simple hole, rather than making a slot. I have some ideas to test in the future. Incidentally, for the mizzen stay collar, did I do that somewhat correct? Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy
