KORTES

Congratulations on the work. It's a very intersting, one of a kind ship.

Dear Johann. 

Your work inspires admiration.

Very nice work.

I’ve made pomps.

Thank you very much dear Colleagues.

My best regards.

I oil-coated it.

I would like to show my galley stove.

I’ve finished refining the control blade.

Amazing work.

I’m putting the masts in place.

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.

I made cables, and i’m starting assembling the spars. I started with bowsprit, finished assembling anchor bitt and some small pieces

I'm very glad  you found my working experience interesting.

My best regards.

Thank you very much Keith.

My best regards.

I’ve made a fit check, on a dry. I’ll assemble it later, with the rigging.

Jack-pins.

I found the technology of making jack-pins  in the report of Uriy Kimborovich (bim), that he  used for his schooner “Izmail”, for what I’m very grateful to him. I made a simple device out of the materials I had.
Material - pear tree. Firstly I prepared the bars of the desired diameter, and so as not to waste too much material (for the support fixture in the collet) I was carving from a long rod, as the length of the coordinate table would allow me.

Thank you very much, Colleagues for such a high evaluation of my work.

My best regards.

Dear Keith,

Before the soldering, the adjacents parts were grinded off.

Afterwards - blackening and assembling.

And then I proceed using the technology of the master-classes. I decided to solder at the big diameter, because when the dead-eye is swaged, the deformation in this area is minimal and the probability of damaging the solder is less.

In order to make metal pieces of lashing cleat- dead eyes I have made a small rim out of a small -diameter bolt.

I made dead eyes.

I cut them from the pear tree. For the drilling I had to make one simple device.
