rfolsom Posted January 3, 2015 Author #724 Posted January 3, 2015 Happy New Year, Friends!! I wish all of you the best for you and your families in 2015. I stumbled upon a you tube video on embossing metal cans... Not sure if the link can work.. But it might seem to solve my problem with the scrollwork... I took the time to test the metal embossing techniques used by this person, and were very satisfied with the results, of about 10 minutes of testing... These are only tests, and were made with a ballpoint pen and aluminum from a beer can.... popeye the sailor, Mirabell61, dgbot and 4 others 7 Quote

rfolsom Posted January 3, 2015 Author #726 Posted January 3, 2015 More testing will come in the near future; I've looked into many methods of fabricating the scroll detail, but this one seems the easiest, cheapest, and possibly the best resulting one for someone with very little artistic talent such as me. (I've tried some of Nenad and Marc's techniques, but I wasn't able to succeed.) Quote
keelhauled Posted January 3, 2015 #727 Posted January 3, 2015 Cool idea. I've been wondering how to do the name and scroll on the billboards. This looks like it might be a good way of going. Thanks!!

This is how I feel about my chosen sheave color of black after seeing Marc and Nenad's white... Ah, well..

rfolsom Posted January 27, 2015 Author #736 Posted January 27, 2015 Hello Everyone; I hate to post any "Non ship" comments; but I have to say that myself, and all my apartment neighbors are being thrown out of our homes when out leases are up. Henceforth, I will be moving back to Nebraska. If any of you are thinking about moving to the "Wonderful State of Colorado" think twice. It is horrible out here. America's experiment with legalizing marijuana is proving itself wrong. The pot-smokers are moving in; and the land developers don't give a rat's *** about anything but their money. Hope to see all of you soon when I get out of here. Bob keelhauled and GLakie 2 Quote

Racerat Posted January 27, 2015 #741 Posted January 27, 2015 Hi rfolsom. How are you finding the instructions for your Billing kit. I have a kit of the Lila Dan topsail schooner that I haven't started. It was a gift and I am more interested in fully-rigged ships. I found the instructions lacking.

GLakie Posted January 27, 2015 #742 Posted January 27, 2015 Sorry to here about your misfortune Bob. It's a sad truth in this country, about money out-weighing all things right or wrong. Good luck in your re-location. Cheers Quote GEORGE Don't be bound by the limits of what you already know, be unlimited by what you are willing to learn. Member of the Nautical Research Guild
dgbot Posted January 27, 2015 #743 Posted January 27, 2015 I can sympathize. When my lease expired the landlord refused to renew it. His reason was financial. He was going to remodel the entire building into deluxe condos. The area was becoming gentrified and he was going to cash in. It was not fun looking for a new place to live.

lb0190 Posted January 29, 2015 #749 Posted January 29, 2015 Larry; Florida sounds great; but what's the average cost for a 1 bedroom apt?? It's like most places in respect that it depends on what part of the state you want to live and how close to a big city (ugggg). Big cities such as Miami are pricey, but sometimes where you work limits your location choices. I looked near Ocala for a family member a year or two ago and 3BR rental homes started @$900/month. The further south or closer to the ocean/gulf the more expensive, but in reality your never far from either even if your located in midstate like us. If you want to look around ck out ads in http://ocala4sale.com/ Note that at the top of the page you will find links for the same type xyz4sale at numerous locations around the State. GOOD LUCK!!

rfolsom Posted January 29, 2015 Author #750 Posted January 29, 2015 Wow. I'd never had thought Florida prices would be that reasonable. That's pretty much comparable to Nebraska prices. Here in the Denver metro area, $900 would get you a reasonable 500 sq ft. 1 bd. apartment. The sad fact here is that rent is going crazy everywhere. So, who's to say if I find a nice 1 bedroom apt. for $1100 here, another property owner could swoop in and purchase the property, throw everyone out again, and jack the price up to $1500.... I'm from Nebraska originally, so that's where I'm going. People say "eww,,, why Nebraska??" but Lincoln is far more cleaner, safer, friendly, and believe it nor not, more upscale and worldly than Denver. Despite being 11 times bigger than Lincoln, Denver is probably 20 years behind in everything else. GLakie 1 Quote
