Recommended Posts

A great start on the figurehead.  I can't wait to see it finished and in place.

thought had not put the candles.

but the book of 74 guns, is very good. Now if I'm thinking ...

I tried to make the sticks, hand brushing and not come out.

on the lathe, I can not use guvias because the stick is too long.

I found the solution.

two pieces, with a hole to fit and glued with sandpaper.

with this method, it bounces off the stick very right.

at the ends, I put rubbers, very tight, so you do not split ends.

gluing one day and in 15 minutes the stick is made.

I love that kitchen.  I'm going to use yours as a reference when I build the ones for my ship.
