Hello,

thanks for your interest and the LIKES.


Today I show you the completion of the main mast.
The fontfish, the cheeks and the mast hoops were attached.

Lastly, an annular holder for belaying pins still has to be made.
Each mast receives one of these holders. Per holder requires 10 pieces of belaying pins, thus a total of 30 pieces.
This holder is built according to a drawing from the Atlas du Genie maritme, Plate 234, as seen on the following excerpt.

Hello Patrick,

@All

Thanks for thumbs up!

Hello Johann!

Congratulations for this very beautiful work : I look with great interest your way of proceeding, it is very inspiring.

I have a little question. I saw that you have an "Emco-Unimat" and I think I have the same, inherited from my father who bought it in Freiburg im Breisgau in ... 1962, when we lived there :

 

Tour.thumb.jpg.e30606bd2fe84ab84a8c53772c00dab9.jpg
Today it is mine, in perfect working order and I saw that it could be used as a saw too. Is this your case and if so, could you put me some pictures in this configuration and tell me what are the necessary accessories?

Thank you in advance.

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your interest and your kind comment.
I do not have any accessories for my Unimat. I can show you my Unimat anyway, at which I just turn a lower mast coat.
In the background, my mini circular saw can be seen.
Also, I still have a FET of Proxxon.

Johann,

 

just discovered your astonishing build log. Absolutely (as has been said so many times) stunning.

 

And I did look at your two videos as well - your work is, world-wide, at the top of this hobby.

 

Regards,

Michael

Hello,

many thanks for the stimulating comments,
and also for the LIKES.

 

The last details on the masts are made.
These are hoops around the lower masts with holders for pins,
so-called spider bands.
The holder was made of brass investment casting.

The left fragment of a hoop is a failed attempt.
The right hoop looks much better, right?
