BTW I’ve had luck snipping off loose ends with sewing thread nippers. They’re long, pointed and very sharp, and the narrow tip lets me see what I’m doing up close. Just a suggestion.
Good suggestion... since I made this video Bernard gave me some very sharp and pointy PE cutting scissors, which are much better than my old Xuron cutters.
The yardarms are raised and lowered from ropes and blocks attached at the centre of the yard arms called Jeers. Once the yards are raised they are held up by the slings The lifts you discribed are more for keeping the yard horizontal while lifting and once in place. If you only used the lifts the yard would sag in the centre and warp or snap. Just saying...
Happy Brexit Harry! another great video mate. I've always been reluctant to build ships due to rigging but now I feel confident enough to have a go. I hope you guys are now going to sell us your fantastic beef and wine!
I've watched this ship come alive and I'll say you must have the patience of job. 🤣 truly enjoyable. You're better man than I Ganga din. I'll stick to tanks. I do like watching others skills. Stay cool brother 👍> "I hate auto correct"
@@HarryHoudiniModels Feast-or-famine right. Here in Ohio yesterday 60s today 32 and falling.?? But I must say I was worried for you all awesome people downunder. pray all is well from now on.
We are still in fire season, which is part of the normal cycle, but good rains over the past month all down the eastern seaboard have put a stop to the explosive situation of New Year. Last night I even had to pull the doona over me, as it was much cooler than the previous month of hot sweaty nights. Slept like a wombat.
@@HarryHoudiniModels Happy to know it's on a swing up. If it's hot there's no way I'm sleeping. Give me 40 and blankets I'm good. Again glad you're well.
great work on the rigging and the Bounty Harry love your channel my only gripe is there;s not enough content we need more wanks more builds more gooch or just plain more Harry
If only I had more free time. To make a Bounty video took 2 hours of preparation, 3 hours to shoot, 2-3 hours editing with another hour to make graphics and upload. 9 hours work.
i know it all takes time to put out content but im just wild about Harry haha n i carnt wait for the next video i need more just wish you had more time
I will digest sails and rigging But at a very later date Only getting the hull itself out of the kit box because my 4 Birman kittens at the fair age of 12 weeks is a cul de sac ! My 4 heroines will climb all up any mast beginning with me so you build and I will be climbed !
Best séries tutorial about rigging and building a ship!
Thanks Alex. I hoped you would enjoy them.
Thanks for these rigging videos, Harry. Your explanations of how it all works in real life are invaluable!
Thanks Joseph.. I am pleased my explanation was helpful

I find myself looking at ship kits when i go to my local store in london more and more after watching your channel so I think i may give it a go.
Come on in... the water is fine.
Go for it. You will not regret it, especially on those bad weather days.
Enjoy and stay safe.

Thanks mate... I tried to keep the good bits but let Bask eat the waffle which fell to the cutting room floor.
Hey Harry!! The Bounty is looking amazing. Great video, the details can make the model.
Thanks Ron, yes it’s all in the detail
Thanks for this video, it's making it really simple for me to do a ship model.

Now I know and it only took a scale modeling video to learn what all those nautical (sails and rigging) terms meant.
And wasn’t that fun... plus there will be a test in the next video.
@@HarryHoudiniModels Oh bugger.
