and all others who sent me PM

 

Thank you very much for nice words and support in last very very hard week.

 

Very important to me is to have you as friends from all over the world to be with me in this moment

 

But ... this is life

 

Life must go on, so do I

 

It is fact, and make me drown that every little place and every bit in our house has Her touch, connected with our plans, thoughts during 28 years of really happy and successful marriage, but I am strong, kids also, maybe little more stronger than we have to be, and we will move forward to our destiny

If you wish, you can listen Her favorite song "Caruso" performed by Pavarotti, which we escorted her two days ago

 

 

 

Considering I never used any anxiety medication, and never intend to, It is much easier to go through, applying to me some self-therapy with work, work, work, in office, in garden, everywhere and anytime, so I’ll be soon come back to Her Majesty

 

Thank you again!!!!

I only "like your words because it marks, however brief, your return.

 

Your presence has been missed in many ways. But always with understanding. I'm glad to hear you are all able to shoulder this incredible burden. But don't dismiss sadness as a weakness as it is as needed as copeing.

 

However long you need to regain some sort of order back is never too long. As you will always be welcomed back with glad heart and open arms.

 

Don't over do the self therapy. And loose yourself in the process. As with all thing my friend, moderation. And don't dismiss those places and things you shared. As that is how she will remain with you all. In your hearts. As someone not forgotten is never truly gone. Just not quite so close.

 

The days and weeks ahead will be rough for all. But you will come through the other side.

 

And while it's wonderful to hear from you. I'm sure in time you'll return as a regular steadying comrade in arms as it were. And you have a beautiful song to treasure along with all the good times. Least of which were the coming of your two children, who will be able to pick you up if you stumble upon this hardest of roads.

 

The flags will raise tonight in honour of your return and in memory of your loss.

 

Return soon my friend. But in your own time. And in your own way.

Nenad,

 

Izzy said it best... I can't add any more without making a fool of myself.   I will add that the picture is a beautiful tribute.

Great to see you back my friend.

 

Small steps taken slowly. Still reach your goal.

 

Don't rush into anything yet but so long as you move along you are not being overwhelmed by the past.

 

Pleased to hear your getting time in the fresh air and sun. Especially with those special memories.

 

Wonderful to hear from you. Take care of yourself.

Ok, I am back. Princess went to town, Hothead is drown in his own model of house which design has to express activity (?) and purpose (?) by its shape abd outside surfaces ( thanks God I am attorney, not architect) and I can hear him going mad looking for some design lines ...

 

Finished meeting with client, too dark outside for fgarden, nothing on TV, and I heared Her Majesty's call from shipyard ...

 

Crotchets - I made several unsucesfull attempts, tryin to solder 0,5mm on 1mm brass wire, and then after two hours of @#%#%$'& dropped something that can pass

 

This is still test piece

 

post-4738-0-66726400-1434577623_thumb.jpg

 

It fits to my rescaled C-plans, so, maybe I success to make it well. Space between two crotchets is between 4 and 5mm

Playing with hooks - part 2 ( or 3)

 

And with my nerves. Seems to be well until same end, and then something went wrong

 

Here is technology I "discovered"

 

First, lined up ends of 1mm brass wire

Squeeze ends

Maybe to cheat a while - to solder there little rings. It will be easier

 

Thing which need rethink

Great to have you back on here at your own pace. Take care and war, welcomes.

 

If it's any help I've found if soldering parts like this repeat her than doing two separate part make a "U" shaped piece then you can solder both at once without needing to hold three things then trim to right size after. Also I found washing soldered parts under the hottest water possible 70-80 degree C straight away washes the flux of with out scrubbing and save corrosion.

Not quite sure what you are making? But again cut three strand and tape, twist even solder far ends together. Then open them out to the exact position you want then tape all to the table and solder in one go nothing move and less to remove with the file as most is cut off.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best wishes

Looking at the picture Nenad. If you got a short length of copper wire hammered the end flat then curled the ends and bent the wire into a U shape then soldered. The trim down when it's all solid and bigger to hold? If you need I can supply images.

It is easy to say, but for me, more than a hard to solder that beats ( iron soldering) and more than a hard to fit.

 

Space between hooks is on my scale ( 1:100)  only 4,5 mm, and every hook is only 1mm long

 

Not enough microscopic skills

 

 

yet

The spice must flow!

It must flow until we all have blue within blue eyes!

Actually I need to see in the future like the navigators so that I can correct my mistakes before I make them  :P

Day full of work therapy of every kind. First daily shopping, and coffee with my mother in law. Then my car suddenly turned to F-16 with afterburner on ... what a heck ... exhaust died ... ok, go to service ... 30 $ fly as a bird ...

 

Coming home, I noticed both cherry trees in yard get proper carmine -purple color of cherries, and realized that today is "cherry day" and start to pick cherries.

Some from terrace under garage ( my phone surrvives fallin down from my pocket from 4m high !?!), some from grass, some by ladder. Never more of them and never better. Some on top of tree I just can not reach - I still do not know to fly ;)

 

Then - wash them, clean them, dry them, and pack for deep freeze

Lunch, little nap, finished cleaning house, and evening come, time for Her Majesty. (Still not in the mood for socializing with friends)

 

Considering I do not have luck with 0,5 wire, I decided to try opposite way - to solder 1mm wire to 1mm wire, and to fit it and thin it after soldering

 

And that was success

I concluded watching C-plans that hocks on whiskers are, if you want to make them in scale - less than 0,5 mm, and that is impossible to turn any rope through them. Also if I ( with magic wound) make them so small, they will be invisible. Look at next picture with C-plans under, ruller and my whisker

So, having in mind that I want hocks visible, I decided to enlarge them "a little", also to enlarge space between hocks for 1mm. Obviously, some details just have to be enlarged. Ropes, for instance. As I see watching photos of dead eyes, ropes between two lines od dead eyes are max 2cm dia. In my scale 1:100, they have to be 0,2 mm dia. As a hair. I think nobody can do that, and nobody did that

 

Now, I have to search on MSW to find where I was reading about weathering brass
