I was sitting around the workshop being bored and this just sort of happened! link It is based on a ship type called a "cromster" it looks like a small galleon but has only a single gun deck and a much smaller crew. Comments, criticism and psychotherapy all welcome :) |

That looks really great! Now, I want a cutter too. Can the cutting wire be adjusted at an angle, from the vertical? Appears so, but thought I'd ask, just to be sure. |

Yes, by adjusting the head on the arm you can get to about a 45 degree angle. That is how I cut the taper on the walls of the Fort that I just completed link it doesn't show so well. I don't mean to sound like a salesman because I am just a big fan but his really is the best hobby-grade foam cutter I have seen and (to my mind at least) is the best value. BTW for a second I thought you wanted to me to make a "cutter" as in the type of small craft….I was confused for a while |

Thanks for the info, Anton. Yes, I can see how that might be confusing on the cutter issue. Of course, if you have the spare materials and time. ;-) I thought the head looked like it might be adjustable, so that is a nice feature to have too. |

Mako11 I live in North Metro Detroit, if you live anywhere nearby I could rough-cut the parts and we could meet and i could drop them off. I have an insane amount of blue-board and could always use the practice cutting foam. Otherwise I could send them to you for the cost of shipping. Contact me in the comments section of my blog or by email daftrica89 at yahoo dot com |

Thank you for the very kind offer, Anton. I really appreciate it, but was only kidding you. I wouldn't want to impose on your generosity. |
| Anton Ryzbak | 10 May 2015 7:28 p.m. PST |
Mako11 It would be no imposition at all, I literally (and I DO mean literally, in the proper sense of the word) have a pile of blue board the size of a minivan. It only took me about ten minutes to cut the rough shapes and strip stock that I used. If you really aren't interested that is OK, but I will open the offer to anybody who replies in the next three days…..the only proviso is that the customer picks up the shipping. |
