I couldn’t find a Dutchman name, but it’s probably a weathervane.

 What type of metal and did you start from straight round stock or did you refine an existing shape? Fantastic quality of work on your build. Thank you for sharing........Keith 

My greetings, dear Keith Black.

As I don't have a lathe machine, I had to lathe these pieces from several nails using a drill .

Mastkoker assembled

Since I had troubles connecting can hook binding to the wood, I had to strengthen the knot by means of metal pintle.

Hand-made lathework.

I’m working on spars and steel.

Spars.

Yes, Valeriy, You're right, probably satin would be a more correct way to say. 

My best regards.

I think something has been lost in translation here ... at least I don't understand what is meant. Calico is a kind of cotton - did you mean you polished it with a cotton rag ?

Calico shine. Its a slang term. In the region where I live it means the shine somewhere between the mat and the glossy one.

My best regards.

To my point of view – the color – calico shine.

A small vacation has passed by.

This time has served to dry the model. I have processed with scotch brite and steel wool.

Thank you, dear druxey,  for such warm words.

This is the famous work of the Master, whose models many have been learning from.

My best regards.

I had no doubts the the work of such level requires knowledge and skills in many different fields, still what I see inspires fascination and admiration. The work of the Master. 

My best regards, Alexander

While the oil is drying, “pronating”, I installed Botteloef Opsteker with installed Boegstag Waterstag.

Thank you very much, Karl,

I have corrected my mistake. I'm very grateful for the information, but on the "SPERWER" this element looks simplier.

My best regards, Alexander.

Pair of blocks.

I’m moving to the "oil" work. After a critical assessment, I decided to finalize some elements.

I have modified zwaarden and made fasteners.
