  1. I'm continuing on blocks..🔥 Last batch of 3 mm size.. Gradual waxing...
  2. A short break in construction. Czech Republic Championship competition and model exhibition in the beautiful surroundings of the Czech Doksy Castle..🔥 https://www.klom-admiral.cz//id:12346/micr-sekce-c-2025-zamek-doksy I continue to produce other blocks of smaller dimensions. "Machine" production with shaped cutters.. waxed... I'm gradually getting smaller and smaller. There will still be a lot of manual labor here..😴
  3. Thank you very much Patrick. It's just that the translator doesn't explain it well..😁 All five Stays Mouse done..💥 Shrouds and Stay Mouse are strung..🔥
  4. I studied the Stays Mouse braiding system. I created a jig from scraps. I used two systems I found..🔥 The ends are tied on a rope wrapping machine. I gradually weaken the wrapping thread until it is gone..💥 Stays mouse on Main stay done..💥
  5. I am familiar with the Rope wrapping machine. I must confirm that the author Roman from Poland has mastered it with great craftsmanship. Super gears with gentle resistance prevent untangling. Polished material brass and aluminum. Interchangeable parts for many different activities. Very pleasant work... I wrap weaker ropes directly, strong ropes filled with thread.. Fixed rigging ropes braided..👌 Other work halter shrouds, eyes and Stay Mouse basics.. Dirt from superglue patinas well with brown bitumen.. Now I'm going to braid Stays Mouse. I found this work 1:1 on Duyfken replica..
  6. I finally started using a tool I've had at home for a long time - a beautifully crafted Rope wrapping machine..💥 https://www.rcmodel.com.pl/rope-wrapping-machin/ It works perfectly, tightens the threads beautifully when adjusting the spool resistance. 👍 And it doesn't matter at all that there is no motor.
  7. Thank you very much Chuck, thank you for the like.🙂 More small blocks made.. Before I have the milling cutters ready for the production of small pulleys, I started making all the ropes. There are a lot of them, 10 basic diameters in total. All Dutch ropes are right-handed, which means that it is difficult to make weak 3x1 ropes. Right-handed threads are first twisted into left-handed threads and then the ropes are knitted. Guttermann threads are quite good, but the weaker cotton waxed Sajou threads like to hold their shape and I don't want to twist them in the opposite direction. After a long time of trying, I figured out the ropewalk settings and especially the last adjustment. All the finished ropes are slightly hairy, I stretch them under the flame of a lighter...🔥 The 3x1 Sajou cable with a thickness of 0.35 mm also has to be pulled over the edge repeatedly to align the threads. But it works..
  8. I continue to make blocks, now Fidleblock in several sizes. The last size is borderline...
  9. I started making blocks. First large sizes, there are only a few of them, and then non-traditional shapes. "lift block", "sheet block" and "fiddle block"... The base on the milling machine, then hand-made..🔥 I plan to produce small-sized pulleys "by machine" on a milling machine using shaped milling cutters..😴
  10. I finally fought the yards..🔥 Yards ready.. I bought fabric for sails, 80 g cotton batiste. I'm starting to learn to sew..
  11. Thank you very much MikkiC, thanks for the like.. I keep going slowly, I'm turning the yards..🔥 I came across a new Proxxon, a 4-jaw chuck.. Great Christmas gift. The placement of the prisms is more accurate..😍 The first yards have been dialed in. Additional items will be placed.. I wish all modelers a lot of peace and, most importantly, diligence and a passion for building in the next construction year 2025.
  12. Tops received mounting elements..🔥 Like the pattern of Barents boat tops.. Here is a beautiful series about construction : Finished tops.. So it's rope and block time..🔥
  13. Thus, the production of column tops had two episodes. The first, of course, is an exam. The direction of the flight of wood betrayed me. The second attempt was successful.. The top of the main mast dries, After waxing, nails and other details are added. The second top will be a piece of cake..🔥 Measurement by a sailor..
