hdrinker Posted January 16 Author Share #153 Posted January 16 Progress on the quarterdeck. Starting the wheel, using Greg’s method, which so far has worked really well. I found that making the spokes by hand is easier for me than using the lathe. scrubbyj427, davyboy, GrandpaPhil and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdrinker Posted March 28 Author Share #165 Posted March 28 You’ll notice that I don’t try to sanitize my work, however humbling that of so many on this forum is to me. The dirt, dust and imperfections, however, are the real thing. The important message I try to convey in sharing my stuff is that there are no short cuts, that the time and effort, as well as the imperfections, are there, in plain view. While I follow many of your builds and am inspired beyond words by your images, which render me speechless, I will continue to share my progress and learn from your example. Thank you.

hdrinker Posted April 4 Author Share #168 Posted April 4 In contemplating the netting for the birthing rail, the gauge is just too narrow for my skills to undertake. Does anyone have a resource for its purchase? I have some which I bought for my Gros Ventre but it’s black. Maybe I ‘ll spray it tan, which is the preferred color, unless there are better recommendations. mtaylor, AnobiumPunctatum, KARAVOKIRIS and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdrinker Posted April 4 Author Share #169 Posted April 4 I found a posting within the forum in fittings, etc. dealing with this subject and suggesting Tulle netting fabric in beige and was able to order a small sample.

hdrinker Posted April 24 Author Share #174 Posted April 24 Thanks Kevin. The TurboCarver bits on the mill were invaluable in making the pilasters. And the Tulle mesh is perfect. Trying to decide what’s next. Henry mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
