Pile Driver FSM #105

[Lynnb]

Yep you nailed it. For the cable I think I would rather have to color something for cable rather than for rope, I think I used a grimy black for mine.

Hey Lynn:

thanks for the compliment. What are you doing next?

Karl I'm leaning toward FSM Bailey's Produce. I'm a bit intimidated by it but I'm sure some of you gents have been through it and will help me out
When I built the Bar Mills Hunch Landing I wasn't too keen on the wall shingling and now realize Bailey's also has them as well as stucco, errrrr.

Hey Lynn:

I have that kit to build also. You'll get through it just fine I use Liqutex Stucco for my stucco. Am working on the A frame for the pile drive. After it is built and installed I'm finished with this kit.

Hi John:

Thanks appreciate it. Got one side of the A frame finished. On to side 2.

Aframe looks good, did you notice the difference in height between the two drawings ( left and right ) ?

Karl I would imagine you have used the stucco that comes with the FSM kits in the past, did you not care for it? I'd like to try to stick to the components of the kit including the shingles, although when I did the Bar Mills Hunch Landing I liked the Bar Mills shingles for the walls ,some how I can't imagine using Campbell shingles that come in the kit although obviously they must do well seeing as the other types I would imagine were not available at the time. Thoughts?

Hi Lynn:

I have never used the stucco in the FSM kits. It has no texture. I like the Liquitex much better. Thanks for the compliment on the A Frame. Yes I noticed the difference of left & right measurement. I'd say about 1/32nd of an inch by my measurement. I sanded the tops to match.

Hi Karl

Your Pile Driver project is looking very nice.

[Lynnb]

Thanks Karl, I guess I over reacted with the different heights of the A frame sides , you're so smart

Is this the stuff for liquitex stucco ? I want to get this right.

Karl coming along nicely.  Nice neat job on the A-frame.
