Visi Posted May 24, 2014 Share #334 Posted May 24, 2014 Denis. Simply Stunning. Your Furled Sails make your rigging Spectacular " Rigging Eye Candy". Wherever I look I fixate on a Line and forced to follow it only to find another treasure at its end. Fantastic - well done! - visi DenPink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenPink Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share #338 Posted May 27, 2014 Hi All Re Byrnes tools and the extractors fitted to them. I went to the hardware shop and got a straight coupler 40mm and a 32mm bend. To make the coupler fit over the extractor fitting on the tools, I loaded up the Dremel with a drum sander and sanded the inside on one end, it now is a tight fit. The bend fits on the other end and the vacuum cleaner plugs on the end of that. Denis.

mtdoramike Posted May 29, 2014 Share #341 Posted May 29, 2014 What a gorgeous model. How many hours did you spend on the SOS every day. That is a ton of work to get done in that short amount of time. I know guys building the SOS and they are looking at a 10 year project:) DenPink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenPink Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share #342 Posted May 30, 2014 Hi Mtdoramike Thank you. I have been working on her for a bout 2 years ( don't forget this site crashed and we all had to re post the logs, that is why you see the date 2013 ) I do about 2-4 hours a night. Denis.

WackoWolf Posted June 4, 2014 Share #345 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I agree with Brian, I also have the same one plus a bigger one by Roybe that is motor feed and not by hand. But for small stuff you can't beat the one you have, it is well worth the money and will last a life time. That why you never see them for sale on ebay, at least I haven't see them.
