Thank you, Geoff! Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done, but when I look at the list I made it feels like I'll never be done

A true jack of all trades!
Thanks, Johan. It's true that this hobby pushes us in many directions...
Thank you for your kind words.
Terrific work Paul, I just love the build and look of that anchor.
Thank you, Roger. It took quite an effort so far...

Your efforts are paying off exceptionally well. Like others above, I would be curious to see what you would lay your hand to for a scratch build, and to follow the progress. Your learning experiences are of benefit to us all.

The smallest of updates... an anchor:
It would seem that I am the only builder on the planet who cannot wrap the ring of an anchor with rope well. I'm now 0 for 2:
Mr. Antscherl (The Fully Framed Model book series) argues that there should be a tapered split between the two halves of the anchor stock for water drainage. Makes perfect sense to me so I did it...
Parting shots:
Thanks for the visit!

You call it a small update but it's a big outcome. A beautiful anchor and the split stock adds another level of the attention to detail you are so good at.
wow! your attention to detail is amazing. Really does look brilliant!

Really precise work. The anchor is looking great.
You say:
"The smallest of updates... an anchor:"
Not only a master of wood and metal working, but A MASTER OF UNDERSTATEMENT also!!
Not simply an anchor, but a custom, handcrafted and highly accurate work of art. I am particularly impressed by the "split" for water drainage. Never would have thought...
Well done!

Good morning Paul,
your anchor turned out perfect. I'm really impressed.

The smaller the update the greater the reactions…….
The ‘blackening’ of the brass came out very well, Paul. A nice deep soft coloring.
A split part is most of the time a reason for a big shout AUCH. Now its a big shout WOW. A nice detail. I suppose we will see this soon on more models ….
Regards, Peter
