๐ removing dried acrylic paint

I used denaturated spirit to remove acrylic paint from plywood. Easy & no harm done to plywood. I brushed the spirit, let it stay for a while and carved the soft paint off. Of course, resanding was required.
Have a good Christmas, everybody! We are staying strictly between family members, here.

Hi Ed!
my winch and the anchor windlass are directly from the kit. Pretty complicated, but I succeded in putting them together at last. They do nothing - just sit there. Although their rolls do spin freely. Gives me some sense of โfunctionalityโ LOL!
I try to learn how to post a picture from my pad - I cannot upload from my photo app...

actually - on the real S.N. the mast is fellable (is that a word at all ๐). I mean that it can be turned down for passing under bridges etc. This means, it doesnโt extend down through the decks. the pivot axis is somewhere around the mast support. Iโm planning to implement this mast turning capability on my โDelfiโ, ex Smit Ierland, a sister vessel of Smit Nederland. Iโm building it from the Billings S.N. kit. The differences are minor.
You are doing a great job! Iโm learning from you at every step. I made the winch already as a static one. I couldnโt dream of a working one ... well I _could_ dream of it. Not more ๐

Great little device! But I don't understand, why on Ebay one product (US) costs about 12 moneys, and another (UK) ten times more... I mean, 111GBP is very expensive!
It can't be right?
