I'm gonna need a bigger boat,ORCA

[dbuck]

Dreyfus is 5’4, Scheider was 5’9. I’ve got to go back and watch them move around on the Orca now.

We know Robert Shaw was 5’10”according to his agent.
We know Richard Drafuss is 5’4”
We know Roy Scheider was 5’9” these aren’t up for debate, actors have there heights and there 8”x4” pictures given out for auditions.
I know exactly how tall Tom curse is because I’ve done 3 movies with him but I sign a NDA saying I won’t tell because he doesn’t like people to know. In film hight can be cheated so why is it important you ask. Well some actors like to work in theatre, on stage. Hight is important in theatre because you can’t cheat, a tall woman kissing a very short man

. But on film Tom Cruse can kiss Uma Thurman and you’d never know. So we do know without guessing how tall the crew was.

Very true!!! Funny story, My cousin was working in NYC (I forget which brokerage house) when Micheal J. Fox was filming Bright Lights Big City. Fox literally ran into my cousin running to the set without shoes just socks. My cousin caught him from falling, Fox said Thanks and kept running. My cousin is only 5'4" and he said Micheal J. Fox had to be 4'10" or 5'.
You'd make me look short Flimzy, I'm only 5'9".

I feel like marrying Nicole Kidman, he mustn't have minded too much. I didn't realize the ceiling is so low. I'm 6'5" so I'd have duck quite a bit.

Today’s cockup when making the transfers for the dials I mixed 2 up

 

[flimzy]

This is as much lower deck as it’s getting.

At first, seeing the horns, I thought "Where did she buy those?"...then I saw the same horn, on your lathe, being shaped
Oh no, she didn't!! Yes! She did!

just a little heat flame bluing before the rust.

The craftsmanship and depth of machining & material handling skill demonstrated is outstanding. Master class, museum scale model building at the highest level.

Too much beauty in one thread

 

[flimzy]

Reprinted the dials the right way round, made some brass hardware wile the sign rusts with the aid of some salt water.

Every time I look at these pictures I think I'm looking at a real boat.

It keeps getting worse. Now I look for stuff through the windows to see if the backyard is still there.

Epic build.

Watching the documentary on D+ (also of interest bc I live in MA, not too from the Vineyard)...the mechanical Bruce was a bonkers piece of engineering.
