Hi Patrick,

 

could you say more about the beeswax treatment process you use?

 

thanks

Sewing sails

From workbench

To sewing table. With the 70-year-old Singer machine.
And yes, this cotton makes sails too thick. But stitching and sewing are one of my favorites.

Stitching.

Sewing thread around the sails.

Stitching and sewing is ready

Treating with beeswax instantly changes the color and makes the sails less fluffy.

Next step: running rigging and hoisting the sails

Welcome back 

Congratulations, a beautiful model.

The standing rigging is ready and the 2 leeboards are rigged.

The yard for the main sail is under construction

Current status

Congratulations, your first model is ready.

Nice work.

Nice work Patrick. I've found twisting the dead eye one turn in the direction of the twist and redo the lanyards corrects this.

Thanks. 

I tried twisting, but without success.

I think this is the reason the deadayes twist.

I used this method,  wrapped around each other.

instead of this method. Next to each other.

By the time I realized why, it was too late.

And I didn't feel like doing it all over again.

Standing rigging.

First, learn how to make rope.

Prepare the deadeyes.

Prepare the ropework.

Start.

Due to some errors in the attachment of the top deadeyes, they are twisted.

Fixed this way. Probably historically incorrect, but it looks better.

Correct. 

The height, I don't know,m.

Maybe higher would be nicer. But would it be useful in a 1/1 scale?

Nice work
