    I have finished working in the sails . I made a fore sail and a head sail.

    Unfortunately , I don't have a lathe machine. This is the reason I have to apply non standard solutions. To my point of view , the glue , in this case , will not simplify the process , so the knot would be more appropriate.

    Installing shrouds.

    Gluing in mainsail. In order to correct the inclination I made a small pattern.

    I got around to working on the standing ropes. I made hemps using cotton threads with addition of polyester. Shroud eyes and jackstay.

    Gary, your diorama is so realistic, that studying the photos I wanted to visit this cozy building shop very much, then I realised how small it is. A great work of the True Master. Thank you so much for showing us your work. My best regards.

    Gary, thank you so much for such kind words. To my mind the light perfectionism is good for every master.

    I’ve made the carronades. The method isn’t too technological, but since I needed only to of them I decided to use it. The barrels are turned using a lathe, all the other parts are ‘filed’ of brass using the rat-file and broaching files. All the parts have been soldered together and after blackening the solder had to be painted.

    Macrofilming,macrofilming.. It shows all the faults, that are invisible by the unaided eye. That's why I decided to redo the surface a bit.

    The fitting was made in place, I didn't fix a chimney in place, because I haven't decided yet whether to install it or not. When the oil dries, I'll try to polish it.
  19. KORTES
    I oil-coated it.

    I would like to show my galley stove. The material is a black hornbeam.
  21. KORTES
    I’ve finished refining the control blade.
  22. KORTES
    Greettings dear Gery. Yes, you are right, this is the color of the oil- coated pear tree. Pear tree wood is one the my favourite. My best regards.

    Amazing work. Among everything else I would like to point out a mastery work with paint and the skills in making material loook vintage. It looks very authentical. My best regards, Alexander.

    I’m putting the masts in place.
  25. KORTES
    I’ve made the mast hoop. I couldn’t find the brass of the required diameter, instead I had a bronze wire. I had troubles while blackening. I had to buy a special solution, which solved the problem.
