Hennie Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share #122 Posted September 10, 2016 First off all, thanks all for all the likes and all the kind words :) And a small update: I just finished the fore mast, just didnt glue it. That I will do when all the masts are finished. Now -with the first mast in its place, I can imagen how tall she really is....HUUUUGE! And I am quit satisfied how it looks. And dont think it went all smoothly at the first time. For instance, the fore topgallant mast broke 3x while using the lathe, :angry: and each time when I almost finished it. So I lost several hours of work but thats all part off the deal. I had to go to the store to buy new raw wood.

Hennie Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share #129 Posted September 13, 2016 @Piet Thx Piet and you are right, only the end result counts @Sjors Thx Sjors and yes, I did get some stock And you know what was really funny. I bought raw wood in several sizes, but I could only get raw wood 14mm in the length of 270cm! When I got back to my car, there were standing some people in front of the car next to me. When I opened my trunk, one of them said:"That doesnt fit mate". I just put the raw wood against my knee, broke it in two peaces, throwed it in my trunk and said:"Now it does". You had to see his face! He must have thought that I was a complete idiot :D :D :D Hennie WackoWolf, Elijah, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share #134 Posted September 26, 2016 And an upgrade again! The moment I have been waiting for a long time! All the masts are in there place and I am very happy it showed up that they are in line (if I use the right words). So tomorrow I will start RIGGING :) Reading all the advice Sjors got from you all, I will work as follows: First I will start doing some rigging on the Bow Sprit. Than I will start with the mizzen shrouds and mizzen lanyards, followed by the mizzen stay, snake and crowsfeet, than the same with the main and the foremast. When I finished that I will start with the shrouds and lanyards of the mizzen top mast, main top mast and fore top mast. Than I will do the rest of the stays and I will finish with tying ratlines to the shrouds. I think working in this order the ropes will be less in my way. Of course if someone has better ideas, pls let me know. I am always willing to learn ;) Some pictures... popeye the sailor, Piet, Elijah and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share #139 Posted September 30, 2016 @Bob @Sjors @Piet Thank you all for your kind commends. I toke a couple of days to study all the drawings. I just started with these tackle pendants. Btw Sjors, did you already solve the problems with your Aggy? When are you going to start rigging again?? I always used your pictures as an example and It will take me 1-2 month to get to the point where you are now, so come on and start again ;) Hennie mtaylor, FatFingers, Piet and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted October 1, 2016 Share #140 Posted October 1, 2016 Very nice Hennie ! I still have the problem that i need some brackets for the hammock netting. I have to order a new sheet and that cost me about a hundred Euro's. So that still has to wait.

ETNZ Posted October 1, 2016 Share #141 Posted October 1, 2016 Very nice Hennie, you are making awesome progress. I've overcome my planking issues. Having viewed not a few other members builds, I decided that I was being too pernikity over my planking. Particularly as it was to be planked and coppered too. So two planks at a time it is slowly coming on. Looking forward to finishing the first planking and having it filled and rubbed down. The weather here is slowly getting better so when I'm at that stage, it should be summer and I can make all my mess outside!

Hennie Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share #142 Posted October 4, 2016 @Sjors, Thx for trusting me doing that rigging all by myself :D But I still hope you will soon be able to restart the rigging of your Aggy. @ETNZ, You are wright about the planking. The looks of the first planking is not important, the second and partial third planking is. And a great part of the second planking has to be coppered.

Hennie Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share #147 Posted October 9, 2016 Hi all, thx for all the likes! :) Time again for an update. I finished the shrouds, stay and crowsfeet of the Mizzen Mast. Finishing the stay took the whole day!! I had to redo the stay 4 times because I was not satisfied with the mouse and now I am :D . I did the serving manual because I dont have such a nice machine like Sjors has :D I did that three times because the first and the second time it looked ugly. I also had to redo the crowsfeet, but this time only once. I discovered that when I wanted to finish it, I had three holes left on the left side and only one on the right side :angry: :angry: . Stupid me. Next time better counting Some pictures: popeye the sailor, Piet, Sjors and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted October 9, 2016 Share #148 Posted October 9, 2016 It looks very nice Hennie!!!!

Hennie Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share #149 Posted October 9, 2016 @Sjors, Thx Sjors, About the deadeyes: I know what you mean, but I just did what they said: 12mm for the 3mm and 5mm deadeyes and 15mm for the 7mm deadeyes. And for the 7mm deadeyes I already took 18mm. I googled many building sides and discovered that it is just what you like most. I am quit satisfied, the way it looks now.
