I’m still not seeing something. Episode 2 ends with the hull painted, no rigging. I gone back a couple of times thinking I must have skipped ahead somehow but it isn’t there.
@acutabove_woodworkingsКүн бұрын
I see where the issue is James. You are watching two different series. The series that you are commenting on now, is an older series I produced where I make one ship in a bottle. The comment that you left about the rigging, is part 3 of a series where I put 2 ships in a larger bottle. You are accidentally mixing up the two series. Here is the link to part 2 of the SHIPS in a bottle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXS6mKCteciZnMk The title will give it away as to which series you are watching. One of them states that it is a SHIP in a bottle and the other states that it is SHIPS in a bottle. I hope this helps.

I missed something. The rigging went on after episode two and before episode three. We didn’t get to see it being done. Quite an important step. ????
@acutabove_woodworkingsКүн бұрын
The process for installing the rigging starts at about 15:15 in part 2 and carries on to the end of the episode. I only demonstrate how to do one set of riggings for one mast and then the rest is just a repeat performance of that. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in .

Only issue is the handle stocks out too much. I'd use a star knob or something that is lower profile
@acutabove_woodworkingsКүн бұрын
That is a personal preference thing for sure and if you like a star knob, then by all means, install a star knob. For me, I prefer the extra torque of the stock handle, even if it does stick out a little more. I've never had it get in the way. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your thoughts.

A great demo show today. I use a Badger airbrush for small work, but I really like the Oasser unit you show today. Can the fan of the needle be adjusted or is it set to one dispersion size? I particularly like the compressor operation. I wonder if it's usable on other brand airbrushes . . . . .hmmmmmmmmm🤔 thanks for another winning show.
@acutabove_woodworkingsКүн бұрын
The front nozzle can be adjusted, as can the needle. As for the compressor, I don't see why not. It uses stand thread counts for the air brush hose connectors so it should be compatible.

I'm sure it's possible. Almost all of my tools are mobile. The issue with the Voyager is that it is 300lbs. So for starters you would need one heck of a heavy duty mobile base. Secondly, it's very top heavy with the motor so tipping it would be a definitely concern. Still, not impossible though.

Neat idea. Roll up the sleeping bag first and then roll up the mattress and just leave the roller in the mattress and it saves finding a place to store the roller and you won't lose the roller. Most campers use a stuff sack - you just stuff the sleeping bag into a nylon bag and once you get it all into the bag there are some cinch straps that circle the bag and you tighten them up to minimize the size of the bag. You should always unroll the sleeping bag when you get home and hang it up to let it air out so it doesn't get musty or mildew.
