Looking good, Sjors.  I think Frank's got it... "when in the Netherlands, do as Sjors does".   Just don't turn the Fonz upside down to rig her, ok?

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam, Frank and Mark,

 

Thanks guy's !

 

@ Sam,

 

I was looking for paint but I couldn't find any....

Then I realised that you are meaning the filler.

Early in the morning     

 

@ Frank,

 

I didn't know that you are a guy with sayings.....

But I love the line ....do as Sjors does           

A lot of people are not agree with you !

 

@ Mark,

 

The only time when the Fonz goes upside down is when she wants become a Flying Fonz.....

I almost needs a ladder to work at the top......

So to avoid the upside down methode, I put her on the floor.

Now I have to be careful not to step on her.

Now that I have had some coffee I see I got the names mixed up!    Fonzie is painted and Aggie has filler! Sheesh! AhhhPfft! I think you know what I mean now.

Sam

[Sjors]

Sam,

 

I think you need more then one cup of coffee......

Maybe ten or more ??????????

Also the Fonz is not painted ! ( the hull )

Maybe you are looking at another build and thinks that it be mine ??????

Sjors, there is NO paint anywhere? Do I need new glasses? maybe a new memory and re-read your log? I could swear there is some paint on the build in the background. I am going to go contemplate my for life for a while........

Sam

[Sjors]

That's not that I was saying Sam.....

 

I was saying that the HULL is not painted !!!!!!!!

I think you need more coffee to get your eyes open           

 

[Sjors]

I have a question and I hope that someone can answer that for me.

Mobbsie was saying that I started with the shrouds at the wrong side of the masts.

I have to make the first shroud that goes in front of the mast and then work back.

Why ?????

I don't change it anymore because all the lower shrouds are done and will get started at the ratlines......

Just curious......

If the shrouds are to align the mast, the ones at the front are key to lateral (left/right) alignment and to limiting the rake of the mast aft.

[gjdale]

It's also the order in which they go over the masthead Sjors, with the forward ones being the lowest (having gone on first). We'd probably let you get away with it, but I'm sure Mobbsie will invite himself over and rip them off if you don't do it right!

[mobbsie]

Hey, I only posted the question, I think Grants trying to get me into trouble here, don't take any notice of him Sjors, I'm sure it will look fine.   :D        

I would take notice of the nice people like me.  

 

Sjors, I joined.  

 

Toys arrived this morning, I haven't opened the box yet as I still have some work to do in the loft, but soon. 

 

Be Good

Wayne, Grant and Mobbsie,

 

Thank you all for the comment ( or not  )

 

@ Wayne,

 

It makes sense to me !

Thank you !!!!!!!!!

Now I know why.

It helps but I'm still not change it 

 

@ Grant,

 

Thank you also !!!!!!

Learning everyday new things.

Maybe this is a lesson for all those builders who are the same as me.....

Easy working but not right !

And Mobbsie is always welcome at our house.

And do not get worried please....when he is coming, the workshop is locked     

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Who is Grant ?

I don't know the guy what you are talking about.......

Never heard of him !!!!!!

I will take a look at the other place where you should be 

Very quick that your toys are already there !

Make me us and post soon a picture of it !

 

[popeye the sailor]

if the shroud routing is correct Sjors,  it really shouldn't matter.   it's just that folks are used to seeing the shrouds done from the lowest to the top.   they haven't met you yet   

[Sjors]

Thanks Popeye,

 

You make me feel better !!!!!!!!!!!      

 

[popeye the sailor]

what can I say my friend........we all have our methods  

[Sjors]

Ratlines are done !!!!!!!!!!!!     

For a while at least.....

The next ratlines will be on the Aggy.

The topgallant shrouds and lower shrouds are also done.

I also make the Mizzen stay, Main stay and preventer stay, Fore stay and preventer stay.

I want to do the crowsfeet next but Saturday , the Fonz goes on the road for a modelmeeting.

So next week I will make a start at those crowsfeets....3 times.

I hope it will work because it's gonna be the first time that I'll make those things.

We will see how it goes.

 

 

 

 

[patrickmil]

Sjors, the ratlines look great! I'm sure the crows feet will look good too. One question though... what do the crows think about this? 

[popeye the sailor]

nice job on the rat lines Sjors!   crow's feet aren't too bad.......I'm sure you'll do fine!  

[Beef Wellington]

Nice ratlines Sjors, quite a few of them!  Do you not have catharpins on the San Ildefonso?

[TheDutchShipBuilder]

Hi Sjors

 

Did you only use admirality paints for this ship?

It's all coming nice together. Are you going to put sails on the ship or not?

[augie]

CONGRATS on the rats!  Good time for a road trip before you get the spars on her.  Please, please make sure you have a good way to secure her for the trip.

[gjdale]

Congratulations on finishing the ratlines Sjors - a significant milestone indeed.

[newbuilder101]

Great job on the ratlines! She's really looking nice!

[Sjors]

Thank you all   

 

@ Patrick,

 

We will see how that goes on the way.

And crows feet is not the correct name ?

But the rat's are not happy with them, maybe I can use a scarecrow then ( or called them that way ? )

 

@ Popeye,

 

I wish I had that kind of faith in myself what you have   

But I'll do my best on them !

 

@ Jason,

 

I never count them but there are a lot of those ratlines....and even so knots !

But I liked it to do them.

There are no catharpins on the Fonz.

At least, I can not find them on the drawings....( lucky me    )

 

@ Nick,

 

Yes, there are only admiralty paint on it.

And yes, she's gonna have ( I try ) furled sails .

 

@ Augie,

 

Thank you 

I shall be careful when I put her in the car......

When we get home again ,I still want her in one piece !

 

@ Grant,

 

Also thanks,

I happy that the ratlines are done for a while.

The only thing was that when I go higher and higher I can not sit on the chair anymore.....

I think when I'm doing this at the Aggy, I put her on the floor !

 

@ Sherry,

 

Thank you also 

 

[riverboat]

Nicely!!done Sjors...... see, now when everyone does their shrouds and ratlines, they'll say "Do as Sjors Does" :P

Frank

[popeye the sailor]

I hope you have a high roof in your car,  or we'll be hearing that famous Dutch word all the way over here

[augie]

I don't think the old 'Pffffffff' would quite cover it!

[Sjors]

Thanks Frank !

 

I hope not that they are doing what I'm doing......

All the shrouds are starting at the wrong way but.....when they are doing it that way, I have it right       

 

@ Popeye,

 

I have a small car.....look it up at Google....It is a Ford Fiesta Ghia .

 

@ Augie,

 

Be for sure i use that word Pfffffff when it goes wrong, and a few other words !!!!!!

[augie]

Perhaps the masts will stick up through the sunroof.  Post a lookout !

[popeye the sailor]

I've seen those cars....and your a tall person. yes folks......and that is why they call it a Ghia....it's what you utter, when you try getting in..... :D

 

don't feel bad Sjors......I own an Isuzu.....it trying to find the hole at the bottom of my wallet!
