  1. Thanks, But, it should rain a little bit more. It's very dry in the garden, which is not good for the grass and plants
  2. Finished the forecastle. Made removable grating And we have a pelican on board. I never thought I'd ever get this far building this Pelican Thanks for following
  3. I thought this was the rigging of the spar/yard (Never learned English at school ) tricing-line A small cord, generally passing through a block or thimble, and used to hoist up any object to render it less inconvenient; such are the tricing-lines of the yard-tackle, &c. Got it now...
  4. Are you sure about number 49, 50 and 51 (and 52?) I am not a rigging expert. But I think it is not correct that these are attached to the shrouds of the foremast.
  5. While thinking about making the masts. I went looking for a wood lathe. There are lathes for a reasonable price. New or second-hand. But why don't I try to make one myself. Can't be that difficult. I thought So all my spare time on the weekend is spent in a self-made lathe. Ingredients A drill. Part of my worn out drill. aluminium profile. Bolts, nuts and screws. Time... And, to my own surprise, it worked. VID_20200525_133126.mp4 Mizzen, main, foremast and bowsprit. Dry fitted (all still too long and not at the right angle) Thanks for following

  11. Hello everyone. Work in progress, update Further work on the interior and the pots and pans of the chef. Some brass cooking pots Metal pans (actually a panther wheel and a copula of Russian armed car). A Ladder. And of course firewood. And the planking of the deck. The deck planking was more work than expected. An example of a forecastle with some kind of grating. A kitchen, pots and pans, but no food on the table. Boring... 😴 Thanks for following
  12. A ride on the bus. And everyone has to "push" They probably bought cheap tickets ... Great work Steven
