Thanks for all the kind comments and likes. I forgot to add the pictures I made before the pump well was installed. This is the pump intake that is now tucked away deep inside the hull, unfortunately 90% is invisible now. The last picture is the main mastpartner with the brass bolts positioned but not yet secured and blackened. As a side note, the fabrication of bolts was refined over time, I used to make the dome shape of the bolt head with a cup burr. Later I discovered that when I cut the brass rod with a sharp knife one end is dome shaped and one is flat. I use this to my advantage now. Still every bolt is scored to give it a little grip inside the predrilled hole. If there is intrest I can make little how-to for the thousands of bolts that are used in this build. Remco

Sorry for the long wait, 'life' got in the way.... Dave, the wood will darken over time, I like the color of free boxwood too. Greg, the thought crossed my mind :-) The new pumpwell is installed and the next set of beams too. A bit tricky as they are curved in two ways. Remco

I was literally shaking my head when I saw the brass pins. Your metalworking is out of this world. You must have a microscope attachment on your lathe ;-) Remco

The new pump well. Not much different from the old one but the stanchions and the louvres are a little less wide than the old one. It looks more delicate. I also enhanced the joints on the door to show the individual planks. Remco

Very nice progress Piet, you are the "master of tiny pieces" Lets just say high quality anno 2015 isn't what it used to be :-D Remco

Slowly progressing. Some special knees half way down the hull And the progress to date The pump well I had made years ago got a bit beaten up in storage. As I also was not very happy with some of the dimension of the stock I used I decided to make a new one. I made a jig to make accurate cuts for the dado's on the stanchions, it's hard to see but at the far side where the blade cuts is a thin strip of wood the width of the blade to mak each cut at the same distance. The finished stanchions, the vertical dado's were milled. Remco

Great accomplishment Danny. It has been fun and educational. I will most certainly look back now and then to check how you managed to do all the tricky stuff I have yet to do. Remco

Thanks all for your kind comments. Greg the pillars were cut freehand and with the help of a piece of paper with the cross slide settings written down. More beams, knees and now its also time to add the hammock battens. They are fragile once glued in place and easily knocked off (yes I tried it...) Remco

This is so great to watch, beautifully executed. You could have fooled me if you said its was made out of one piece. Remco

Wonderfull Johan, you make it look so easy while it's not. Remco

Thank you all for your kind words and likes. Work is progressing and more knees, hanging knees, carlings and ledges are added. I also forgot to install a pillar in front of the fore mast , but that was taken care of. The last opportunity to take a look at the sail room before its permanently installed in the hull Some of the knees with mortices cut The state of the upper deck to date The next weeks will be more of the same... with the addition of installing hammock battens as I work my way across the deck Remco

Seriously stunning! How long will the finished sloop be? Remco

A bold move Mark and certainly worth the effort. I always fear such redo's but I know if I don't it wil bother me for years to come. Remco

Absolutely stunning Alex. Remco

Thank you Alex. It is the way you knotted the thread I was looking for and the picture shows it perfectly. Thank you again. Remco

Finally a long overdue update. My KF got little attention lately as work and other (fun) projects got in the way. I cut all the mortices for the carlings in the upper deck beams and started to make the first of the knee's and hanging knees. These are not one of my favourite parts to make and unfortunately every beam has a hanging knee. This is due to the heavy load on the deck with all the canons. I'll stick to my mantra and go step by step or part by part in this case Remco
