realworkingsailor Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share #906 Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Most of the wood will be used for cooking. We have a brick "barbeque" that we cook over in the summer. Very little gets used for heating because the place is uninsulated. As for the gnomes, most where eaten during the great raccoon invasion, and the survivors packed up and left after the blizzard of '88 Edited September 11, 2013 by realworkingsailor trippwj and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realworkingsailor Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share #909 Posted September 12, 2013 We have enough species of small furry animals as it is... I don't think we really need any more Anyway, more to the point, I've been busy today with shrouds and whatnot. One more pair and I'll have the foremast done. To bring some variety to the task, I swung down to the bowsprit and made up the collar for the shrouds. The book says this could have been done as two pieces or as one, I chose the latter, despite being slightly more complex, it still meant a little less work. I'll have some Photos later tomorrow morning (EDT, Sjors) for everyone.

usedtosail Posted September 12, 2013 Share #923 Posted September 12, 2013 Andy, let me say how much I am enjoying your build here. I finally got caught up after reading through it all. A very impressive build. Your rigging especially is wonderful. Now that i have caught up, I was wondering if you could send me the instructions to build your serving machine. I have not done any serving yet, but the look of your shrouds and stays makes me want to attempt it. I also have a question. You use Hypo cement for your rigging. Have you found a way to tame the tube it comes in? I have used it in the past for attaching acetate because it doesn't yellow it like CA does, but every time I use it it oozes out of the tube faster than I get the top back on and makes a mess. .Any tips on how you use it would be appreciated. Thank you. Oh, and welcome back.

realworkingsailor Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share #925 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Tom, I'll forward you a copy as soon as I can. As for the Hypo, there is no secret, yes it does ooze, but I keep a paper towel close at hand and wipe off the needle point right before applying. Try not to squeeze too hard, a small dent in the metal tube is enough to keep you well supplied with glue for hours. Eamonn, no worries, glad to have you aboard Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
