Very, Very, nice work Mati. Congrats

Vacations over and back to real life. Read all this on vacation. https://www.hnsa.org/manuals-documents/age-of-sail/the-elements-and-practice-of-rigging-and-seamanship/sail-making-vol-i/ (HNSA) https://www.hmsrichmond.org/sailmker.htm https://textileranger.com/2016/08/01/even-more-sail-history/ (textiles) http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Rigging/Sails/Wasa-sails.html Available info 16th century : virtually nothing; 17th century : some; 18th century and later : good. All this is internet info, so it could be wrong Thread thickness : Vasa would have had an average of 10 threads per cm. Converted there should be about 450 threads per cm on a scale of 1/45 (impossible) Tabling : from a few inches (sailmaker) to a detailed description (HNSA page 93) Clotchs width : 24 inch (sailmaker) 23-30 inch (textiles) (bolt) ropes above and around the sail (HNSA page 95) Very nice sails can indeed be made with the silkspan, modelspan. But personally I don't like to see them on a wooden 16th century model. That's why I continue my my cotton. I think I found something to make the texture less rough. First :stitching seams "hem" (bad English ?? ) "omzomen" (in Dutch) and glue with diluted pva sew, sew, sew... Then smear the sail on both sides with colorless shoe polish ( beeswax and carnauba wax, wow) result Not quite yet what it could be, but better than the diluted black wash test (bad picture) Thanks for comments, likes and following

And soon you will own a Mercedes. Hopefully with less work 😉 https://www.la.mercedes-benz.com/en/passengercars/the-brand/know-your-car/e-class-type-170V.html

Very nice work! Mistakes???? Where 🧐??

Great work. This model looks like a Golden Hind kit. Correct??

Nice work on the car. Married 44 years, wow. We have been married 30 years this year.

Hello And

Good work, keep going 👍

Deck planking in the 16th century (rules?? There are no rules) Post 274 Short reply sorry, on holiday ⛱️

Thanks the commentaar. Backer is now on vacation. plenty of time to study about sails and sail making.

Indeed 🤐

The further sail making "adventures" All that follows are experiments. Which have probably already been done by others. A first test with a piece the cotton cloth. On this machine : the smaller the number the longer the stitching, the 0 goes backwards. The smallest stitching (about 1mm) thus results in a line. Results test 1 with a trial sail. 1 learn to stitch better and straighter(need to practice more) 2 Indeed too thick, but this can be camouflaged with the rope that is sewn around it. 3 the texture of the fabric is indeed quite rough. Test 2 with the mizzen sail. Looks pretty decent. But the silcspan will also deserves a chance after this. Thanks for folowing, comments and likes

As always Very nice work Rodolfo

useful ?? https://www.hismodel.com/articles-category-28

Geweldig... Awesome Thank you very much, much appreciated No, The stitching was a test whether the machine works properly. This will be trying and testing first. To see which stitching will look good. The cotton sheet looks ok. And somewhere I hope to be able to use it. I actually like this work with a sewing machine (makes me relax) The cotton is of course too thick (in a real it is about half an inch thick) But with a rope sewn around it hopefully it won't be noticeable. All options are still open Once I found this on MSW and printed it. But I can't find this on the site anymore.
