Another work of art, Johann.  I'm always amazed.

Hello,

thank you for the comments and, of course, for the LIKES as well. 

 

Today, I present a small update.

The cap for the Mizen mast and the Cheeks still had to be equipped with fittings.
Here are some pictures. I hope you like them.

Hi Thomas,

thank you for your nice comment.

Thanks to all the others for the LIKES.

 

In the meantime I made the fittings for the Mainmast cap.
After all, these are a total of 30 parts.
The other pictures show the finished Mainmast cap in different views.

Johann, I have a silly question. The diary that appears from time to time with all it's amazing detail in it. Is it a record of your work that's done or do you plan how you are going approach the next step in it? I find myself rebuilding my days work in my head as I am going to sleep and plan my attack for the next step. Maybe I should write everything out if it will help me get results like yours.  Anyway it looks like it would be amazing reading on a rainy day!

Hello Kurt,
first of all thank you for your interest in my building report.
I'm trying to bring a structure in my work and plan the individual steps. However, not always successful.
My construction report, however, is essentially a record of the work done.

Hello,
Thanks to all for the interest and the nice comments.

To finish the lower masts I have to make the iron bands.
This I made from strips of brass sheet 0.3 mm. To attach the frontfishes there are two-piece hoops.

Your work is as always extraordinary

@Siggi52

Hello Siggi,

thank you for your interesting information and the pictures.
Before the construction of La Creole I was not aware that already in the
18th and 19th century ships were equipped with lightning conductors.

 

@All

Tanks for the nice comments and LIKES.

Thank you Johann!

Without wanting to abuse, could you also provide me with some details about making these small holding tools , p
articularly on the way to realize and implant the small pins with precision :

Thank you in advance and really, congratulations for your wonderful work I have been watching from the beginning.

Hello Patrik,
this tool was turned from a brass rod on a lathe.
The retaining pins are made of old drills, for example 0,5 mm, since they have corresponding strength.
The holes for the retaining pins have to be performed very accurately, otherwise the dead eyes wobbles.
