BLOCKS. By trial and error, I made a certain number of blocks, I think I would have enough for a complete set of rigging. The most difficult part for me turned out to be metal shell of a block. In the end, I made them using 1.0 mm wire with further refinement.

Thank you very much, my dear colleagues for Your interesting messages. I think it's related to the length of the giek, and, I think, the tribute to tradition has also played its part My best regards.

I would like to ask, please, if anybody could tell me why flagpole has such form? Is this a tribute to tradition or is there any other reason? My best regards.

My greetings Griphos,I'm very glad that my experience and some of the technologies seem interesting to You. Regarding the work wwith metal, honorable Wefalck is right, the skills come with experience. I haven't read any literature on this subject. Nowadays, in the internet era we can learn the theoretical part from many resources, and the experience will be gained only with practice, we dont have to be afraid of difficult work and be prepared that probably some components would have to be redone several times - it's the only way to gain experience. And one more point, a big equipment stock makes the work considerably easier, but doesn't guarantee high-quality result. The more advanced the instrument is - the more practice it requires. Whereas the absence of equipment stock requires non-standard solutions in the working process. My best regards.

Over the past period, I attached the predator, installed a flagpole. So far everything is removable, so that there is no difficulty in installing the rigging.

Dear Dave, I'm very touched by Your words and such a high evaluation of my skills. The work of Your grandfather is a real masterpiece, work of the Master, I would his hand with a profound respect. To my mind, its the best thing, when the works of our ancestors live in our homes, delight our eyes and the eyes of our guests, I think it's the best reward and the best remembrance that any Master would wish for. In my turn I have to say that my father was an example for me, who had built a house, that i grew up in, with his own hands, mastered a lot of skills and professions, all of his works had an outstandingly high quality, and has left many paintings which decorate my home and homes of my relatives. I think if we come in our skills just a bit closer to what our ancestors could do, it would be good. My best regards.

I have found some more photos of this figurine in the internet, taken from different angles, which i used as my guide, and, of course, the photos of the real hawks.

The bird, as all the other decoration, was cut from the pear tree. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to find a boxtree in the region whre I live. I will be using the second version. The first one is a bit bigger than it has to be.

The mast is in the transportation position. But this is just for the report, after the final assembling and installation of the rigging I 'm not planning on putting the mast in the transportation position, so this function will be left for the soul, so to say.
