On this scale the actual different sizes will show so I'll need to drill 4 different sizes.. Best, Michiel Hi, I love your deck work obviously you used cocktail sticks for the treenails. But how did you do your caulking as even up close like this it looks fantastic?

Izzy Madd Posted March 16, 2015 Share #158 Posted March 16, 2015 It's realy practical, just drill a hole widen the opening a bit, bit of glue and one soft hit with a wooden hammer. so that only a simi spher ends up on th outside. the most time consuming is finding the brush with the right size of tips. Have you tried using a lighter or candle even and just melting the ends of any none blobbed brush. As I've often thought that's what they look like. Except the makers stick something on instead.

Michiel Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share #159 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks, The treenails on the inside are cocktail prickers indeed, on the outside they are chestnut thorns, colors better with the cherry. The caulking is done with charcoal. Gently rub the side of the planks agains a piece. The effect however only comes out nicely by finishing of with danish oil. Even if by sanding the opening between two planks gets filled oiling makes it clean again and brings out the black. I've tried with melting plastic wire of different types, never really got the effect I was hoping for....

Michiel Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share #165 Posted October 21, 2015 Due to a move and all the renovation that came with it it has been quite some time. Most of the equipment is still packed and the ship itself stored away. But finally I allowed myself some time to do some work on her. These are two figurines that sit on the outside next to the previous set. Still a bit in a rough unfinished phase but the basic shape starts to appear.
