DesertWolf Posted July 21, 2013 Share #602 Posted July 21, 2013 Hi Robbyn, that Morope sure looks nice! I also saw Chuck is selling rope from his Syren company. It looks amazing, doesn't it? Do you think he'll send me 100 yards as a free test sample? And I agree with Sjors... more pics of your beautiful build please!

Shazmira Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #603 Posted July 23, 2013 I was very busy yesterday, feel like I made a decent dent in the rigging. First, I set up both serving machines and served my shroud lines, it worked well, while the line on one machine was drying (the spot of ca to hold) I could serve the next, made it very nice to just keep going without downtime for glue drying Next I seized the lines where they will loop over the masts Next I looped the shroud lines over the masts and put the lines down through the crow's nest. I alternated sides until all the lines were where they needed to go. (yes I see the chipped paint, I will need to do some touch ups later) Once all the shroud lines were attached at the masts I attached the other end of the lines to the deadeyes on my jig to keep the spacing even. (used CA to help hold the deadeyes to the shroud line) By the time I had finished, the first were dry and I could go back and do the first seizing above the deadeye Again, once finished I could go right back to the beginning and add the second Seizing One mast's seized shroud lines Where she stands now...all shroud lines are on and attached to deadeyes....Next, the lanyards between deadeyes to hold it all in place....that will have to wait a bit....I have school work to focus on today...and as usual, I am having a bad reaction to the CA from yesterday. Knowing I will need it again for the lanyards, I think a break is best for my sinuses. I wish it wasn't so HOT, I would build outside where the fumes would not get to me!!!!! Maybe, if I finish the school work, I can at least take the lanyard pieces outside to dip in CA (to make a "needle" end for threading through the deadeye holes). And maybe...just maybe...I can get some more done...BUT SCHOOL WORK FIRST! gjdale, Salty Sea Dog, Ferit and 2 others 5 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

Sjors Posted July 23, 2013 Share #609 Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Robbyn, Nice seizing! Looks great on the mast only one thing………you make every shroud of his own when it goes to the deadeye? I just read in Lennarth Petersons book ( that I've got from Mobbsie ) that the shrouds are going in pairs……. So two shrouds with one seizing on the port side and then two shrouds with one seizing at the starboard side ( or other way round ) I hope this make a little sense…….. I have to re-rigging the shrouds on the Mirage and this is the way I want to do it. I don't know if you have that book.

realworkingsailor Posted July 23, 2013 Share #611 Posted July 23, 2013 If you want to work a little faster... For seizings, I start with a tight clove hitch, and finish with a couple of half hitches. These will hold until the line is coated in matte medium, and if your seizing line is fine enough, you'll never see the knots anyway. No need for CA either...

Ferit Posted July 24, 2013 Share #617 Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Robbyn, with each passing day your SF becames more worthy... BTW, I would like to learn why shrouds aren't straight because of the gravity, how they stay bended? And a humble suggestion: I am not a distributor nor a dealer but why don't you think to use G-S hypo-cement? I think CA is a derivative of cyanide... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1799-frigate-berlin-by-ferit-kutlu-corel-scale-140-year-1674/page-7 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadchemist Posted July 24, 2013 Share #618 Posted July 24, 2013 CA is Cyanoacrylate and its a molecule that has a cyano group attachment. The main toxicity of CA isn't necessarily the Cyano group or fear of cyanide, but rather it's fuming. In the liquid form the molecules are monomer form. Upon bonding they polymerize. As moisture is an accelerant when the fuming monomers come in contact with moist body parts, think nasal to lungs and eyes mainly, It polymerizes onto the moist surface and becomes an irritant for some and a severe reaction for others. It's effects can also become worsened by repeated exposure. Personally I rarely use the stuff. It really bothers my eyes and I'm already haveing issues and don't need more. Sorry, the chemist is me kicked in. I need to check out that GS Hypocement also. Ferit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
src Posted July 24, 2013 Share #619 Posted July 24, 2013 Popeye, thanks for the link to the rope. Madchemist, so the fumes are NOT cyanide? You mean something I read on the interwebs was WRONG?!?!?! My world is crumbling. sigh..... Sam Quote Current Build Constructo Enterprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadchemist Posted July 24, 2013 Share #620 Posted July 24, 2013 If the fumes were cyanide people would be dropping dead rather then having a reaction. Cyanide's an interesting ion. Its actually an ion not a molecule. Due to its structure its very similar to an oxygen molecule. As in Carbon monoxide which is a CO or C=O (triple bonded) oxygen is double bonded O=O and cyanide is also trple bonded C=N- ( plus negative charge) which I'm guessing reacts with the positive Fe at the center of the hemoglobin to cause the oxygen transfer issues. Cyanide poisoning is basically asphyxiation. The similar size and shape allow it to interact with the heme group and do it in an irreversible way. At the cell where respiration occurs the cyanide isn't released and basically death occurs as oxygen is prevented from doing its Thang. Sorry, more chemist geek stuff.

Shazmira Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #621 Posted July 25, 2013 Grant, Mobsie, Ferrit, Sherry, and anyone I missed, Thank you so much for the compliments...good rope makes all the difference in the world. and I am MUCH happier with the looks of things right now! Ferrit, I dipped all my rope in clear varnish and then stretched it, when it was dry I coiled it all up and stored it away until I had the time to use it. Right now there just isn't any weight on the ends of those shroud lines to pull the coil out of it, so they dangle all in a funny looking mess. I am not worried about it, just a slight bit of tension pulls it straight again, so once that lanyards are done, it will all hang nice and straight as it should. Keith, I don't care WHAT is in CA....I just know I always have a nasty reaction to it! Ferrit, I did purchase 3 tubes of the hypo cement you recommended and I have used it several times. Knowing I only had the one day set aside to get all the shroud lines on, I foolishly opted to use the CA because it seems to dry faster than the Hypo....I paid for that choice, but I did get all the lines on like I wanted. I really need to just throw all my CA away...then I would not be tempted to use it anymore. I got very little accomplished yesterday...that stupid CA always make me so fuzzy headed, and all I want to do is sleep.....really had work to do...

trippwj Posted July 25, 2013 Share #622 Posted July 25, 2013 Robbyn - your rigging is progressing well. Based upon the chemistry tutorial, Augie's moose is probably endothermically impacting the trout, resulting in the higher thermal stresses on Sjors' bus in the Netherlands. This, in turn, has altered the acid/base equilibrium causing John (Texxn5) to have R/V issues. I could go on, but will let the voice of reason explain the rest. gjdale, Shazmira, avsjerome2003 and 2 others 5 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazmira Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share #624 Posted July 30, 2013 Just so people don't think I have been slacking off, in between school stuff I have actually gotten some of the shroud lines up and awaiting rat lines. I fear though, that is as far as I might make it until after Sturgis. I have 6 more days to get everything ready for the fall semester, finish the summer class, and pack and get ready for Sturgis and the wedding.
