I will leave them untied until the fore sheet is done and the shrouds too. the main sheet is going to have three shroud lines, since the mast has two steps, it seems logical.    | ||

As an aside, several years ago, I ran across this untitled poem that I have posted on my workshop wall, and I thought I would share with you -- it is very appropriate, especially for you: In the evening breeze From my seat of ease I holds me court in the bow. Tho' me mates thinks I's daft On art versus craft, On applied research I'm a "wow." When day is done, They takes their fun With a tot of rum in the peak, Whilst I, if I's able, I borrow a table And works on me ships for a week. Now I ain't prolific And I ain't terrific, But I gets me little jobs done. If I's hard-pressed to finish, I has me a spinach And carries on with me fun, Because in the end, I yam what I yam.

I couldn't remember for the life of me, who sent it to me. it must have been you. thank you ever so much.....it was the best 'welcome' I could ever have gotten. it made me feel right at home there.......and now look at me......I'm a model building Tasmanian devil!! makes me wish I had started this hobby when I was a lot younger. thanks for the poem and your kind word........now I feel right at home here as well!  | ||
