Then I cut out of from the tea bag a grid for the bowsprit and fixed it in place (without final fixation for now)

That's a nice way to make the railing, very well done

Many thanks, Carl!
It was very laborious work, but it seems that these efforts were worth it.

Then I made the strip with stops and installed a couple more blocks at the stern.

Hello to all!

For almost a month I did not post updates, though, the work was quietly conducted. Now I will make up for lost time

So, the next stage of the construction was the making the railings. I have, if possible, delayed this stage, because I prefer to install them whenever possible, so as not to interfere with the work.

Racks of railings I cut from medical needles. In the gunwale I drilled holes for them. I screwed a very thin wire rings with legs to paste them into the upper ends of the posts and then stretch the railings through the rings.

Hi, Frank!
Amazing works! Just amazing!

Thank you, Steve!

Many thanks, Carl!

Next, I installed another sail

Then I installed the blocks for the rigging of the gaffel. The scheme is, of course, simplified in comparison with the original

Then I made a small detail for fixing the bowsprit

Hi to all!
Little progress in those last weekend...
At first I continued to "train" in making blocks for Jolie

Very good work, Mehmet !
Congrats!

Hi, Daniel!
I hope that you will cope with this problem!

Good luck!
Igor.

Many thanks, Patrick!
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Nils!
Excellent work! My congratulations to you!

It seems to me, always a little sad when such a great work is completed...

Hi Nenad!
I think you made great boats! Congrats!

The small update - yesterday I installed the sail hanks on one of the sails

Many thanks, Carl, Jan, Jesse and all who is likes this project!

You can't mean that, Igor. It can't be true, you must be having a giant match stick and blow up fingers ... 2.5mm Do you really want to make double and tripple blocks at the planned smaller size ...?

Yes, Carl, I try to do this.

Looking impressive!

how did you make the puley?

Jan, I made this pulley from a brass tube with a help of a minidrile and the file.

You must have incredible close up vision. That would strain my eyes to death!

Oh, Jesse, I use glasses and sometimes "magic glasses"

Hello to all!
Yesterday I tried another technology for making blocks. This block has a pulley and its length is 2.5 mm. Perhaps for someone this information will be useful.
Now I want to try to make a smaller block using this technology. Also I need to make double and triple blocks.

Thank you, Patrick!
I will try to take into account this sad experience in my future projects.

Many thanks, Jan and Carl, for your support!

As I think, there are several mistakes. Firstly, the position of the attachment point of the gafel to the mast is too highly. And the distance between mast yoke and mast cap too small. This does not possible to make the correct rigging of this node. Please, look at the attached photo:

Igor,

Usually we see our errors (to) late. Fortunately you know how to correct them!

 

I like your blocks. So easy to handle

Hi Carl!

Many thanks for you feedback!
Unfortunately, this time I can not fix this error... For this, it would have required to make again the mast and main sail. I started doing this model at a time when I did not have enough information about many of the details of this boat. Later my friends from England sent me some photos, but, unfortunately, it was already a bit late
As it turned out, these blocks are quite easy to make. Now I need to figure out how to make a few double blocks.

Then I tried to install a couple of these blocks in their places.

Unfortunately now I see my mistake in the design of the mast

Hi to everyone!
Next small update. I worked on blocks at last weekend's. I made a couple dozen the single blocks.

Many thanks, Patrick and Nils!
