Looking great Sjors.

But I know now why you are so much faster then I am....  You use a 'bit" more filler           

Hennie

Hi Sjors,

You are going fast again. I just started the first planking of my second ship boat. And still have to fix all those oars, if I count well 28 of them......

But still waiting for the delivery of materials. My new rope just arrived by the way.

With a little luck I will finish the boats end july/begin aug. and then I will pay you and Anja a visit, taking all the raw wood peaces I have with me.

Hennie

Thx Bob, next ship boat will be ready soon

Hennie

@Joe

Thx and of course we share!! Its THE way to learn from each other

And time for an update:

Finally finished the first ship boat, the 24Ft Cutter. Toke me a whole nine days to finish it. Its a very, very fragile peace of work. You have only to look at it and in breaks in several peaces, as it already happened about 10 times.... :(

After it broke the tenth time, I almost tried if this boat could fly too........like an airship.....

I didnt fix the oars yet. I am still waiting for a delevering (raw wood 1mm and some paint and knives).

I ordered it on monday, so the Dutch postman takes his time....

I just started with the 32Ft Pinnace and this one will go a lot faster because i learned from the mistakes I made :D

And some pictures....

Looking nice Sjors, my first ship boat of my Aggy is a bit sunk, I am afraid........

Pictures will follow when first one is ready

Hennie

@Sjors, @Mark, @Piet,

Thx all!

Small update:

Allmost finished the hull. That railing on top of the stern took some time, because this peace of wood has to be bend upside down AND backwards.

Some pictures

As usual looking great Sjors!

Hennie

Time for an update again.

The channels and deadeyes are on there place. Sjors has  taken a look at it, when he was here and he said the angle of chainplateparts/shrouds was not as bad as it looked :D :D

This week I will finish the last parts of the hull (drilling holes, put some eyelets on there place, the two gunports at the backside and some other thing I forgot).

The 3 stern laterns I will do when I finished the ret of the ship.

Next week I will start with the 4 ship boats.

And again some pictures...

Had a fantastic afternoon Sjors (and Anja). Hope you enjoyed the coffee with kersenvlaai. Hope to see you and Anja soon again :)

Greetings and a "lik" from Sansa

@Scott,

Thx Scott and.... I already found out I have to be (more) carefull

Hennie

Hi all!

Time again foor an update.

All the gun port lids are on there place, including the lid ropes.

I just started with the channels.

Gr., Hennie

Looking great Sjors!

Hennie

Hi Sjors,

It will be the SotS from Sergal. It has more metal parts and these parts are all in bronze. The size is ecactly the same as yours.

However, I will first finish my Aggy which will take about 1 more year (I think), maybe less.

Gr,

Hennie

NOOO, wait for me!!!!!!!!

Hehe, just in time but popcorn all over the floor because of the hurry. But how did you know, that the SotS will be my next build??????????

Hennie

@mobbsie

Thx mobbsie, but eeh... I didnt forget counting the lid ropes...

4 holes each x 42 = 168

Greetings,

Hennie

@Joe

Thank you

Greetings,

Hennie

@Joe: thx and there will be more pictures!

@Sjors: As I read you managed to let Anja do it for you, so you must have a very beautiful smile :D :D

@Mobbsie:thx and yes she is!!

@Scott: thank you, you are to kind

Ty all for all the likes

And an update: as you can see, I finished the gunports. I had to redo at least five of them because I put the pins on the wrong side

Now I have to drill 168 holes to put them on the hull. Will take 1-2 weeks.....

@Elijah

Thank you and I have already put them in place. I had to do some cutting and filing on the bow to get the figurehead a bit lower. Otherwise it will not be possible to get the bowsprit in the right position as I figured out today.

Some pictures....

@Nils and @Piet: thx for your kind words.

And thx all for finding the likebutton :)

And about aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the redoes, well as we say here in Holland, it keeps me of the street :D :D

Hennie

Hi all,

 A small update....

I finished the catheads, toke me almost 2 days, before I was satisfied about the result. I think it broke about ten times, and I had to start all over again. These things however belong to this kind of work :D

Some pictures...

@Elijah

Thx Elijah, repair did go well

@Jimz

Thx for your kind words

@Jason

You are right, but I had to repaint several things, because its almost impossible to repair this and not damage the surrounding parts. But I am satisfied with the results

I just started with the outer hull ladders, the fenders and the chesstrees.

After I finished that, I with start with the catheads.

And when all goes well, I can start next week with the gunport lids.....

But it didnt go well ..............

When I counted the lids, I saw I had 4 lids less.........or......................nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Studying the drawings again, I discovered, I prepared too many gunports for lids (poopdeck) :angry: :angry:

Two on each side...

Well, as we say.....**** happens!!

I will have to repare that and hoping it will not be visible...........

I am glad I didnt use the brass strips, and I made these strips of wood. Now I can remove them and repair the gunports........

Again a small update:

I am glad I finished the netting. This material is horrible to work with. Some parts I had to do again, because it didnt fit.

Specially the netting on the top deck was difficult, because the sizes at the beginning and at the end are different.

But after all, I am quit satisfied how it looks now.

Some pictures.........
