  1. The waist deck requires support stancions. I made a simple jig which helped me to produce stancions.
  2. I have made the waist deck but not glued in place yet. This part of the decking required support stanchions which will be made next.
  3. I have made and installed the quarterdeck pin rails.
  4. I made up the quarterdeck bulwark ringbolts and eyebolts. I also made up cleats. I then drilled the bulwarks and transom for all of them and installed them. I then made two transom knees and installed them.
  5. Quarter deckplanking and internal planking of the bulwarks have been completed. To leave visible the details on the gun deck, I covered the quarter deck partially.
  6. Quarter deck is still in progress. One of the three capstans and the chain pumps are in place.
  7. I have completed the rigging of the guns on the gun deck and started the quarter deck frames.
  8. Dear Tom, I use walnut for the wheel.
  9. OK Tom, understood now. I first cut the rings roughly with my scroll saw and then finished with sanding machines.
  10. I continue with the guns. I have to complete installing of all the cannons and other furnitures on the gun deck before installing quarter deck and waist deck frames. I forgot to paint the wheels black before I glued them on the carriages so I decided to paint the whole carriage red. These cannons will hardly be seen since they will be under the quarter deck and waist deck. There will be fully visible cannons on the quarter deck and I will make the correct colouring for those cannons.
  11. Excuse me Tom, I don't think I can understand what you are asking about Can you explain in more detail please.
  12. I completed the forcastle deck frames and made some furnitures for the captain's cabin.
  13. I completed the rigging of the guns under the forcastle deck and started the forecastle deck framing.
  14. The galley stove is in progress. A few more details will be added.
  15. I applied varnish on the gun deck and the fittings. I am painting the guns.
  16. Thank you so much Robin. I am using Proxxon Micro Miller MF 70, It really makes the life much easier
