Good Morning Mike, Thanks for stopping in. The Trajta is a fine looking boat and kit, I love the bow on her. I don't blame you for wanting to pull her out. You will enjoy building her and will end up with a great model. I am just finishing up the ships stove, almost done "accessorising" it and may have some pictures later.

Thanks so much Dave. Once stove is done I need to build a windlass, which will be a first for me. I think I am looking forward to this :huh:  :P

And some more:

 

Installing knightheads( 3 x 3 mm) and top timbers

There are waterways to be installed, mine kept splitting on me so I spread some ca on them to strengthen them, and as you can see it bled though to the good side. Time to make new ones.

 

post-20628-0-44871100-1485485258_thumb.jpg

 

Then I decided rather than cutting out notches for all the top timbers in the waterway and going through more frustration I will install them on top of the waterway so..............

then I decided it was time for a change...the windlass. This was made from cherry turned on the lathe what you see here is the fourth attempt, I also replaced the supports and made them from cherry also.

 

This showing the filed down nail used to make the holes square. This is an idea I got from DocBlake.

Gluing .5 x 1 mm strips onto drum

The finished product, still needs one or two more coats of wipe on poly. The fancy ends are inspired by B.E.'s cathead decoration on his Pegasus

That windlass is fantastic! Thanks for sharing the tip you learned with the squared nail. Might have to use that one myself next time.

Loving it! The details! Your work is commendable. Windlass details down to the square peg holes are a nice added touch and that brass pot sitting on your stove is pretty nice too.

Keep the pics coming mate....

All in all it's pretty relaxing when you just take your time.....

A stove - what a cool detail! Will it live on deck or below? What did you use to punch out the coin?

Hey Mike, Thanks for stopping in. The stove stays on deck, I am still unsure as how I will secure it as I would think it might have been portable. The coin I just heated it up pounded it with hammer until thin enough then just shaped over a 1/2" steel rod. I should have taken some pictures. If I get the chance I will do it again and document

That would be a good technique to see Don.
