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.
-
The hatches into their position on the cross section.
-
I saw the outline of the paper out of the grating.
-
To tailor the grating, I transfer the inner sizes of the hatch on a piece of paper and position that paper on the grating with some paper glue.
-
Finishing the hatches with sand paper.
-
Raw hatch and grating
-
I glue them together using the same piece of millimeter paper as before to obtain right angles. I let the glue of the hatches dry with some weights on top of them. On completion I check them on the cross section.
-
Sawing the coamings for the hatches.
-
As you can see, I made the grating a bit larger than needed just in case it wouldn't be fully intact. I will wait until the hatch is made to size it to the correct dimensions.
-
All the pieces put together.
-
In the grooves I glue 3 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick laths. I start at the outsides and form the grating on a piece of mm paper to be able to glue the laths at 3 mm interspaces
-
On my Proxxon saw table I like to use a table saw sledge on which a millimeter paper is glued with the 0 mm line exactly on the saw blade edge. With the help of that sledge it is easy to saw 3 mm wide grooves of 1.5 mm deep at 3 mm intervals.
-
I make the grating in walnut because it is a better wood than oak to saw out little pieces. I start to saw 3x3 mm thick planks and I glue them together with a drip of wood glue at each end. Like this they form a 3 mm thick plank.
-
I will now make the gun deck hatches, starting with the grating for the after hatch.
