Latoen is a mixture of Cu an Sn, wich actually is yellow copper, which is brass, Kees, no offence meant.

Thanks, i didn't know that.

What is the thickness of the brass sheet you are working with?

The thickness is 0.3mm. I bought a couple of rolls last year for very little money.  In the Netherlands it's called "Latoen".

I don't know for sure if it's brass or maybe yellow copper

Btw: it looks as if you do far more than cutting on your cutting mat......

Bad habits die hard... 🙉🙈🙊

Thanks for the kind replies and for hitting the like-button. The deck indeed needs some colour and maybe some staining. I will work that out later in the build

Kind regards, Kees

Some other parts for the front (bigest) mast and the mast at the bow (Kluiverboom in Dutch)

Thank you all for your likes and kind comments. I will post some updates soon

I've build a wooden clinkerbuild dingy for my herringlugger. Here some pictures how I did it. Don't know if it's the smartest way but it worked out for me. For steambending the wood I've build a woodsteamer from an old rice cooker and soms loose materials.

I like the contrast between the red color of the engine and the wood of the ship. Bringing it to live. Well done

Building something in metal

I made two new hatches for the livingspace of the crew. Sorry I really dont know how to call these in English.

Kees, very nice!! Question: the copper wire is that 1mm? where do you purchase that in NL?

 

I do find 0,5 but I also need 1mm and can't find it. (Maybe not looking hard enough....)

The wire in the picture is more like 0.4 or 0.3mm but I will have a look for you. Maybe I can find some 1mm wire. I do know there is 1mm brass rodd for sale in hobbystores but thats very stiff rod. 

Thanks for all the kind words and all the likes and views. I really enjoy building this fishingship but I have neglected to post more often. Now I have settled in my new job and education I hope to post more regularly.

I started building the different hatches. First I cut out the base in the wooden deck an after that I build the border and the hatch. When ready  will place the border and the hatch in the wooden deck.

Nice to see the hull is getting shape. Lots of work, lots of fun in front of you!

Thanks for welcoming me back and for the kind response to my work on the deck. 

@Jan: The red is the basecoat and the hull will be painted black later. The inside of the the railing (Bulwark) stays red and offcoars the part of the hull beneath the waterline.

Update: I made openings in the deck for the hatches. The small hatches are for the herringbarrels which are stored in the fishhold. The bigger hatches are for the netstorage

planking of the deck

Yes it's black strip. 

The work on the herringlugger continues. I started to build a pvc deck in the right shape and started to lay an oak deck.

I love your work!

Thank you Ed for sharing this magnificent build with us. I enjoyed every part of it. 

Good start!

beautifull result

Nice build. Was it a fishingvessel?
