I know Aldo,

 

It's not the first time that I'm using power tools.

At school ( 100 years back ) we learn how to deal with it…..

The only thing I refuse to work with are….kitchen tools       

 

[Adrieke]

hmm Sjors does that mean you do the vacuuming and the ironing at home (they are not kitchen tools )

[Sjors]

Yes Adrieke,

 

I'm doing the vacuuming and ironing…only my own shirts for work.

I have no problems with that.

I lived a few years of my own so I have to do that...

 

[Adrieke]

lol when i came to oz in the beginning i didnt have a work permit so i did most of the housework while my fiance when to work so i dont have any problems wiht that either

[Sjors]

Poor guys are we , isn't it?

But I have to go outside for some sanding on the Half Moon…...

I make an agreement with Anja…..see is doing the cooking and I will do the sanding 

 

[Adrieke]

sounds like a good tradeoff to me

[popeye the sailor]

sweet deal.......I'm on my own with my sanding 

[Sjors]

But you don't have to do the ironing Popeye 

Only working in the weekend.

 

[popeye the sailor]

I iron my own sails.........does that count? 

[Sjors]

For me that counts Popeye,

 

Welcome to the ironing club 

I wonder what the wife's in the house are doing…...

(Maybe I have a fight right now )

Sjors,

 

With your lovely wife moderating this site and reading everything you post, you are either very brave or very...........now, what's the word I'm looking for here? I'm sure someone will help me out!

[Anja]

Hello Grant,

 

'Very brave or very ..... ' suspiciously refers to 'you know who'

To fill in the dots, let me say foolish?

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[Sjors]

No comment,

 

I go sneaky upstairs again to see what I can do!

 

[gjdale]

Didn't think it would take you long Anja!

 

He's been a very naughty boy - perhaps he should be banished to the cupboard under the stairs for a while!

[popeye the sailor]

hee....hee.......I was going to say...........BOLD!

Hello Sjors,

In all of my dealing with my Conny, somehow I never got around to seeing your build. She's beautiful and I hope I can make my Morgan even close to what you've done. I, as you, like to see pictures and your pictures show her off. Thank you for all the inspiration and beautiful workmanship. I can learn many lessons from this. Keep up the good work.

John

[Sjors]

Thanks John,

 

Don't blame your self by not seeing this build.

She is on hold for the moment ,because I want to do the rigging for the Le Mirage first…..

If i'm not doing that, I have to of those big ones for rigging at the same time and that is to much…..

 

[Paul Salomone]

Hello Sjors,

 

I follow in silence as well. My line is steel ships, and don't know much about sailing ships of the period.

 

But this I can say - You are doing a very beautiful job.

 

Well Done

[Sjors]

Thank you Paul,

 

I also don't much about sailing ships.

I just build them as the manual is saying 

But I love it!

 

[Bummer!]

Wow, you're quite agile for your age:

 

 

 

[Sjors]

Thanks Eric…...

 

One thing….you don't see Anja below it     

I'm standing on her hands!

 

[Script]

Sjors,

 

You need some 'voice to text' software...then you can work on your ships while chatting with all of us... :D :D

 

Then maybe get a 'voice to picture' camera and we can see your progress.... :P :P

 

 

Jim

[Sjors]

Hi Jim,

 

My I-Mac can talk to me and If I talk to other builders I know for sure that I'm not building anymore 

But thanks for dropping in.

 

 

 

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

he'd be too busy adjusting the lights to show his good side  :0

[Sjors]

Popeye,

 

I have only good sides………. ( at least that is what Anja says….)

 

[Sjors]

An very, very small update.

All the parts of wood must be somewhere gonna be gun port lids….

Glue them together and paint them red...

I have to make 26 samson posts and here is number one…...

And before I've got the question….yes, he must cut off at the size of 10 mm...

 

 

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

do you feel better now.......smelling sawdust is like salts..........it brings back the senses.   the sound of the cutting tools have a calming effect.

 

Anja must be happy now

that you now have altered your care

you whittle away the while-a-way hour

and get ye not in her hair 

[patrickmil]

It's always good to switch to something else when one build is causing you some grief, so I'm glad you have the SI to work on again. Those gunports look like they are going to keep you busy for several days.

[augie]

A cloud of sawdust has been reported over Schiedam.  Good work

[Sjors]

Thanks Guys,

 

It feels good to do something.

Tomorrow I have one day off work so making dust again 

I hope tomorrow I can make all the samson posts.

Only 21 to go…….

I want to use the milling machine ,but I can only mill horizontal and not vertical.

So thats all hand made!

It keeps me of the street…...
