lamarvalley Posted August 27, 2013 Share #93 Posted August 27, 2013 Looking good Eric. One step closer to done eh? I'm getting kind of antsy to move on from this ship... I won't until I'm done but it feels like I've been rigging for months... just started the connector ratlines from the lower to the upper thru the crowsnest... this time of year tho is hell for my allergies so work has been slow or none at all for days at a time.... hard to focus when sneezing and sniffling and with tears in the eyes. It's exhausting... I'd rather rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sport29652 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share #94 Posted August 29, 2013 I here ya. We have all the smoke from the "rim fire" (in Yosemite) and its killing me. Wake up feeling like I smoked a carton of cigarettes in my sleep. I've just got a good rhythm right now and have put my rattlesnake out of view. What are you building next ?

lamarvalley Posted August 29, 2013 Share #95 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Next? You mean if I ever finish this one? Hmmmm.... it is down to a few.... either the Diana by Caldercraft, the superby by mantua, or maybe a wild card that I've never spoke of.... the Sequin from Bluejacket. It is a tug from the late 1800's. This one has several advantages.... a lot of woodworking and it is 1/3rd the cost of the other two. It is probably the front runner now... while it doesn't have sails or cannons of a warship of old it does have a cool history and I think I could get lost in the details. -or- ???????? so many choices..... On a different note... good luck with that fire... sounds horrible to be stuck downwind with no options....

Shazmira Posted September 1, 2013 Share #96 Posted September 1, 2013 Eric, quick question. when you did the upper rigging, did you use smaller diameter rope than on the lowers?

sport29652 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share #97 Posted September 1, 2013 the line i used in the deadeyes is smaller. The ratlines are same diameter.

sport29652 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share #99 Posted September 2, 2013 I purchased some Amati line from nature coast awe ago and used this for my deadeyes.

Shazmira Posted September 2, 2013 Share #100 Posted September 2, 2013 I ordered several different sizes of Morope...well actually I ordered what I thought I needed first, and what I received was too small so placed a different order for proper size rope. I just need to remember where I put the first order, because that rope would be the proper thickness for those tiny upper deadeyes Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

sport29652 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share #101 Posted September 3, 2013 This weekend provided a great opportunity to work on my builds. I've finished the yard arms ?

sport29652 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share #115 Posted September 5, 2013 Did your kit have the streamer flag with it (the long one) ? That flag seems to have the most potential for disaster. Im also working on my sails and plan on furling them. The kit supplied sails are cheep and have contrasting thead. I think I'll use some of my wifes expesive linnens for this. I know she will be made at first but in the end she will be happy buying new sheets. "its easier to ask for forgiveness that to ask for permission."

robert1965 Posted September 5, 2013 Share #116 Posted September 5, 2013 Eric, I use the sail and vlags of the KIT. The sails of the kit did not look nice, but I have a wire in the sail mounted so they are nice and tight. The sails are wetted with some wood glue diluted with water and applied to dry. maybe some pictures say more. I hope this is what you mean. Quote Robert Current builds:Prins Willem - CorelH.M.S.

JSGerson Posted November 24, 2013 Share #120 Posted November 24, 2013 I just caught you build today, beautifully done. I just caught some constructive criticism on my build of the Rattlesnake - my rope coils were/are sloppy [my term]. I really didn't pay too much attention to them. So my question to you is how did you achieve such nice results?
