Jaager Posted April 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2020 This tool was the subject of one of the almost daily email ads from StewMac. It appears to be sturdy, heavy, and adjustable. It is not especially expensive. In the spirit of finding a tool in search of a function, do we have jobs where this may be of use? Carving decorations, if you wish to sit up straighter, or off the ship rigging assembly? bruce d and RichardG 2 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Bob Cleek Posted May 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2020 It looks like it may lack the strength and rigidity necessary for carving. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted May 6, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 6, 2020 Could be the basis for a 'third-hand' or a rigging stand, if one replaces the studs with clamps with something more versatile. Perhaps along these lines: Could also become a rotating building stand for a small model, to clamp stem and stern-post. mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
