That worked rather nicely. I found some room for improvement. Like this, I could only put a center in with a certain diameter. I thought about the drill ... If I could put a drill head on the slide ... you could would have a lot more possibilities. I had an old drill, took it apart and used the axel from the head. Luckily for me it all fitted perfectly In the near future I want to make an eye to stabalise a thin piece of wood. I'll be extending the post than.

Next thing: make a slider, so different sizes kan be fit between the drill and the opposing center Made on each side of the base plank a groove so the slider won't budge. In the triangular side of the slider I drilled a couple holes to pass some dowels through. Drilled a hole large enough for the revolving center I bought (€ 19.--). Made a clamp on it to fix the slider on the required distance from the drillhead

Well, I'll be building this one up, for I have to go through the paheses as I build this one (still rather recent) The plank which supports is approximately 1 meter x 20 cm x 2.5 cm. The others are 1.8 cm thick. It's all pine wood. Took some of the thinner planks and made a base for the drill. Drilled/sawed a hole the size of the forward part of the drill body which normally would hold the handle. Cut a groove in the plank from the top to the top of the hole so It can clamp the drill. The images show it better than I can explain in my poor English .. After that I took a router and made a groove all over the length, and twoo lesser ones on the side of that one which I 'll use for alluminium strips. The use of those will become apparent. Some chisseling to be done .. and fitting the strips ...

I loved your build log and it is a pitty it got lost. However, I'm glad we can still have this as reference material. These cutters needed to be fast with the smuggling during those days ... It's incredible how much sail she could carry, even under heavy weather.

It truely is a lovely build. It's that you have put here within view of visible reference material for sizes, but she could be the real thing...

I'm glad I can follow your marvelous build again. Very nice work on that cockpit. I wonder if you can build the original in the same amount of time. Often smaller versions take more time (more fiddle work)

Impressed, I didn't know the koreans had such ships. Is it still possible to see the inside after you have put that roof on top ...

hakan, Very nice build, some very lovely details you've added. Although we have lost a lot, it gives us a chance to relive some older builds we haven't seen.

wefalck, Looks like an interesting kit. I've made some white metal and resin cars, but I have to confess I liked the metal ones better. I'm curious as how you like this type of material.

That's a lovely build Robbl, it will be hard to put her in the back seat of your car if you need to move her

Remco, It's amazing how much detail you've got in your build. Looking at your pictures again ... I see things I missed the first three times looking through your log
