Aviaamator, Your tree nails with the dark edge look fantastic! G.L. -
I use an oxidant which is called 'oxidant 1130', it is mainly used for brass but it works also with copper. I don't know the exact name or the composition of the product. I buy it in a shop for artist products in Ghent (Belgium): 'De gouden pluim' ( http://www.degoudenpluim.be/ ). They fill it in the wanted amount in plastic bottles.

12.38 The edges of the handles are filed round and blackened and finally nailed on the planks.
-
12.37 I hammer the edges flat and drill a nail hole in the flattened part.
-
12.36 The handles are made of pieces of brass tubes of 2mm diameter.
-
12.35 Each of the covering planks has two handles. Below the handles is a shallow deepening. I make it with a round mill.
-
12.34 The making of the hatch-way and the planks don't need a lot of explanation.
-
12.33 Behind the winch is the shrimp cooking store. On top of it there is also a hatch-way which is covered with removable planks.
-
12.31 The composed winch. The stringers are continuing below the deck and are still kept together with an elastic until the glue is dry.
-
12.30 Different parts of the winch
-
12.29 At the back side of the winch there is a metal bar.
-
12.28 At the other side of the big cog-wheel, a handle has to be attached.
-
12.27 I make the capstan roll of a square piece of oak of which I plane off the corners till it is a octagon. Then I drill a hole in the center in which the shaft of the cog-wheels fits.
-
12.26 I saw the winch stringers to the correct length. They go down below through the deck till they end between the ship frames under the below deck. I make also four bearers in which the capstan roll ant the axis will rest in wood. Later they will be painted in black.
-
12.25 To make the fishing winch, I start with cannibalizing an old clock. I provides my all the different cog-wheels needed.
-
Thank you Mark and Hakan. The deck is made with pine like it was on that kind of boats. G.L.
-
12.24 I finish the hatch with sanding it and adding corner-claps to the corners.
-
12.23 Planking the hatch. Again with black cardboard strips between the planks.
-
12.22 The frame of the hatch in place on the hatchway.
-
12.21 The hatch itself is made of straight planks. I sand the top-rounding with the band sander after the planks are glued together.
-
12.20 The fish hold is covered by a hatch. In the pictures below you see the subsequent stages of the construction of the hatch-coamings. I believe they are self explaining.
-
12.19 I solder two small round footplates at the deck side and the traveler is ready.
-
12.18 To shape the traveler, I make a wooden mold. The traveler is given form by hammering it around the mold.
-
12.17 The jib sheet traveler is made of a 2mm brass rod. Both sides are thicker to stop the traveler ring. Therefore I solder two pieces of brass tube to the ends.

Derek, It looks impeccable. Nice joinery! G.L.
