  1. Steven, Nils..... Thanks for your kind words. I need to confess...... so many repetitions..... but I really enjoined the results.
  2. Anchor grapnel....... This piece has some difficulty since we have to weld 8 pieces in a little space. Producing heat that will pump out those pieces that are already welded. So I decided to make a “mold” where all pieces can be “secured” ....... Two pieces of wood with 5 holes.... 1 for the central piece an 4 for the hooks. One 2 mm wire heated in one of its ends...... Smashed..... Its hole.... A little tube in the other end and hooks in 1 mm wire.... All pieces in the “mold”. Secured an welded...... So far... so good... Tips..... And blued.....It is done
  3. It is “finished”..... Because I decided to do it by myself, I decided not to go after a full dimension. Is going to be part of the diorama decoration so I did no see the need to do it. This little thing took almost a week to be finished .......

  9. Now is time for the top of the gunwale.......at this time you have to realize that the plans are a “little different” to reality...... then make your hull been your reference, You will realize also that the two sides are not completely identical so..... try your best for make those differences “unnoticeable” Of course... we have to aged them.....For this I took a note about where the oars should work, the ropes will work and I put a little more attention to those sites..... Also I needed to fabricate some cleats..... Then.....
  10. Let’s continue with benches.......I needed to fabricate the little poles, some little supports I aged them and.......install
  11. For this particular bench, in order to make sure the half circle will be perfect, I used doble side tape, I taped a piece of wood (with the same thickness) beside it..... I drilled the hole.....
  12. Today I’ll show you the process I used to build the benches. First, I cut the templates With the belt sander and router, I finished all of them but the middle one, which has this middle circle, where the mast will located
  13. Niklas Yes. I Glued them all with ciano. After all, you’ll will cut them. I needed to have a very solid “hull” for planking regards
