MeandSuzy1 Posted June 13, 2022 Author #31 Posted June 13, 2022 WHEW,,,relief .The mast try revealed that from lower to mid mast rings there's enough wiggle to allow an 1/8"or so correction on top deck...that's real good GrandpaPhil, Peanut6, allanyed and 2 others 5
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 16, 2022 Author #32 Posted June 16, 2022 Ya so I'm gonna put in about 20 plants or my top deck skylight will look stupid, and I don't like the tiny size. I'm just going to put end walls in from kit but leave the back open to see ribs..trying to run a light to do both sides of rear wall..grooved wood to suit...me hopes GrandpaPhil 1

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 19, 2022 Author #34 Posted June 19, 2022 Does anyone know as to whether the holes in pic (square ones) need to be left available or can I block them
allanyed Posted June 19, 2022 #35 Posted June 19, 2022 Assuming the round holes, which really should be six or eight sided, are for the pumps and the square holes are for the bitt pins, why would you want to block them? Your photo shows you have the contemporary drawings. Do you have the deck drawings as well? https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-86459 has all of them.

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 21, 2022 Author #40 Posted June 21, 2022 I'd love to snag a few scale muskets...Any ideas?

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 22, 2022 Author #42 Posted June 22, 2022 Anyone know if this misalignment on bow between deck and structure is OK?

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 22, 2022 Author #44 Posted June 22, 2022 By battens in the mid deck you mean ????
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 22, 2022 Author #45 Posted June 22, 2022 So I put up this wee wall. Made small table and chair...trying to find muskets to lean against wall behind the bars Peanut6, GrandpaPhil and mort stoll 3
allanyed Posted June 22, 2022 #46 Posted June 22, 2022 On whatever decks there were hammocks would be appropriate.

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 23, 2022 Author #49 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I cut some extra balsa I bought today. Put a top 1.5x5 walnut rail on 1 1/4 finishing nails cause I figured maybe bales could go in bin..Does anyone think they'll be in the road as I build up?

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 24, 2022 Author #50 Posted June 24, 2022 Last crate n light for mid deck. All done this deck..you guys gotta try the nano lights from Evan designs..unreal Peanut6, UMH and GrandpaPhil 3
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 25, 2022 Author #51 Posted June 25, 2022 As mentioned I'm thinking this mid level done. Can anyone see anything I missed? I'm not as much worried about more decorations as I am anything structural that would bung me latter..please feel free..I've seen some smart folk on here Peanut6 and GrandpaPhil 2
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 25, 2022 Author #52 Posted June 25, 2022 These lights are great ,but to not see wires is ticklish. I had to run a couple right on rib 😩 so I'll have to put a laminate on both sides of rib..one side not to see plywood and the back to bury wire..oh well GrandpaPhil 1
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 25, 2022 Author #53 Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) OOOKAY for anyone who wants large amount. Like upwards of 6. Guys ya gotta run them wires ,and let me tell ya...OMG..I've flipped this puppy more times than Sunday AM eggs.... EDIT::::I just became aware of something very useful..simple yet useful..I was trying to run these micro wires everywhere.Meaning I needed the $ of all longer wires and trying to wrap 18 ends 9 red 9 black...so this AM I went out to shop..got 2 lengths of 24 gauge. Drilled 1/8 holes in ribs for it to go full length..then I marked on it where each nano wire came out. Stripped.put back in and wrapped the nano wires around where appropriate. Now my battery and switch are just at one end.. not worried bout juice cause 9 wee wires would easily use 1 24g Edited June 26, 2022 by MeandSuzy1
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 30, 2022 Author #54 Posted June 30, 2022 I broke down and put in little 2x5 mm frames for couple bed rolls. I'm not kicked on having, but . Made up 2 spindles on my Milwaukee m18 lathe today GrandpaPhil and mort stoll 2

MeandSuzy1 Posted July 2, 2022 Author #58 Posted July 2, 2022 I'm trying to get an idea from artesania,,,,har har...as to whether the nails go just into deck. Or deck and cross beam? I assume the first..I'm just stripping randomly. Hope it won't bite. Would love to know which edge alignment was most critical GrandpaPhil 1
MeandSuzy1 Posted July 2, 2022 Author #59 Posted July 2, 2022 Made a wee telescope on my Milwaukee m18 lathe out of an old brass nail we had. .085 front objective lense...610 long w/Black bands on table LyleK1, Altduck, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4
MeandSuzy1 Posted July 3, 2022 Author #60 Posted July 3, 2022 I painted these barrels and put em in. You know if my gal hadn't caught me I was gonna put one on bottom 2 on top just to see how many never caught an upside down pile. Ah well Zarkon, GrandpaPhil, Peanut6 and 1 other 3 1
