Hello,
thanks for your feedback and "Likes", I appreciate your support a lot.
Currently I am producing the Gaff and the Boom for the Corvette.
There were many interesting details to clarify. So z. B. is located on the Gaff peak a small metal block for the national flag.
What is still to be clarified is the design of the Gaff goosenecks the boom.

Hello,

thank you all for your positive feedback.
After a long time back and forth I have for the following execution of the
gooseneck decided.

And I oriented myself primarily to contemporary drawings.
I hope that it is reasonably acceptable.

Hello Thomas,
recognized correctly, these are thin brass strips.

This I cut with the table saw of a brass sheet is 0.25 mm thick.
After the provisional adjustment of the ring diameter (slightly smaller than necessary), the two ends are brazed with silver solder.
For this I form the ring so that the obliquely filed ends touch on pressure.

Hi archjofo  - In awe of your beautiful precision wood and metal work - I've been sitting here looking at the Buoy rings and your description of how you made them - and trying to think how one cuts 1/4 mm brass sheet with a table saw?? would you be able to let a mere mortal know how you do that please - Cheers Pete

Hello Pete,
of course, I'll let you know how to cut a brass sheet 0.25 mm thick with a small table saw.

I think that this pictures brings the best explanation.
It works even better with a few drops of cutting oil.

Of course, a saw blade for non-ferrous metals is required.

One needs a HSS slitting blade and zero-clearance table insert to successfully cut such narrow strips.

Or a jewelers saw and a steady hand.

As an armchair experiment:

use double sided tape or rubber cement to fix the metal sheet

to a 1/8- 1/4" piece of pine and run that thru the saw.

A blind cut on a thicker piece of wood would be even safer.

Disadvantage = more than one cut would require removal and

reattachment of the metal to the carrier.. 

advantage = the blade would not cut any wood on a second pass.

or the notch could be there from the beginning.

Hello Paul, Druxey, Maury and Daniel,

I am glad that you like my video.
Thanks to all for your interest and participation.

Right now I am preparing for the rigging for the French corvette.
I intend to make the ropes myself. A modeler friend designed a ropewalk for me.

The ropewalk has a length of 5 m and consists of two parts.

Currently I am trying to find suitable base material. Preferably I would use linen yarn for this purpose. It is very difficult to get the right yarn.

I have already received many valuable information from ED. I am very grateful to him for that.

Today I received a linen yarn that I immediately compared to the cotton yarn from DMC.

Note that the linen yarn is turned to the left, unlike the cotton yarn, which is turned to the right.
In the next few days, the first attempts to produce the ropes will start.
