I build a simple working base
-
The first planking of the hull is ready
-
Hello everyone, As you can see, I have made very good progress with the planking of the hull. This was partly due to the bad weather we had yesterday, but mainly to the excellent material. Firstly, the basswood strips are very well cut and secondly, despite their thickness of 2mm, they are extremely supple. I didn't have to vaporize or use any bending tools. Top quality It was a bit fiddly on the port side, which is why I decided to taper the battens by 1.5mm on the starboard side in the bow area. Have a nice time Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The Planking begins

Left Side sanding is ready.

As you can see, the lower bulwarks fit perfectly. For the upper ones, it is better to sand the guide cuts at an angle from deck to frames, then they will fit better. As I've already planked part of the lower dress on the inside - I found staining boring - it doesn't curve quite as nicely as the upper one. Let's see if I level it with filler from below or sand it from above. Since I'm planking the inside with 1mm anyway, that would be according to the construction plan again. So I think I'd rather plank from the inside first and then sand. If you have a different opinion, please let me know, good advice/criticism is always helpful, I always see things from a positive point of view. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The next little Problem.

Hello on this sunny Sunday, a little insight into the wondrous world of Occre building instructions. A careless beginner to our hobby would already make the first serious mistakes here. After installing the bow deck, it protrudes about 3-4mm forward over the false keel. In the instructions, however, the deck is clearly flush in photo no. 10. On photo no. 18 there is again the overhang which, oh wonder, is gone again on photo no. 24. Of course, one would say that 2 mm of first planking was applied in between. But then, unfortunately, after another 0.6 mm of second planking on photo 31, there is suddenly a 3-4 mm overhang again. A look at the technical drawing on a scale of 1/1 makes the chaos perfect. There the whole thing is shown flush again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The Anchor Winche, made with Walnut , Plywood and 1mm Brass.

Well lovelies, did you sleep well? I slept less as you can see. The decks are planked. Here, too, I deviated from the plan and used my 1x4mm oak strips instead of the thin strips. The bulwarks fit almost perfectly when dry, a little sanding here and there and then it works. So far everything is going well except for one small problem. I had planned to have the Esmeralda in the shipyard by Christmas and it's ready on the shelf. If this build goes smoothly, I'll have to explain to my wife that a package will probably arrive this year after all. Greetings Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

There is a Photo in my Esmeralda construction report in Post 33. Ther You can see it nicely on the lids of the Deck Hatches.

I think it is less due to the oil content than to the golden inclusions in the grain. These are more noticeable in thicker material of this wood. You can see this on the deck superstructure of my Esmeralda. When laying the hull battens, you have to make sure that they are all laid with the grain in the same direction, otherwise this will be very noticeable when light shines on them. Greetings

Thank you for the praise, but masterly is an exaggeration. The list of flaws and small mistakes is not long, but they do exist. I would have liked the rigging in particular to be better.

Oh that's right, you have the kit in the cupboard. I'll be happy to help if there are any problems. You should then knock on Occre's door. The number of brass fittings for the masts is not correct. They sent me the complete sheet metal again without any problems. Although I could also send them to you, as I still have almost all of them left.

Hallo zusammen, der Bau der Esmeralda ist vorerst abgeschlossen. Ich habe sechs Monate lang fast täglich daran gearbeitet, mit viel Freude und ab und zu auch etwas Frust. Aber der Frust und die entsprechenden Problemlösungen führen natürlich zu neuen Fähigkeiten. Viele Bausatzteile aus Sperrholz oder Metall wurden durch Massivholz ersetzt. Auf Lack wurde verzichtet, alles wurde gewachst und poliert. Wenn ich irgendwann in Zukunft etwas besser im Rigging werde, werde ich es noch einmal auf die Werkbank legen, um es zu verfeinern. Ich werde keine Schlüsse ziehen oder eine Bausatzbewertung abgeben. Der Bausatz wird nicht mehr produziert, daher ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kopie gering. Ich möchte mich bei allen bedanken, die mich auf dieser Reise begleitet haben.

Then here is the procedure for the little door. I rounded the edges of the 1x4mm oak strip and glued nine of them together to file everything down to 2mm. I made the frame from the sapele strips in two layers. To do this, I had to vaporize the slats and clamp them around a bending aid, diameter 10mm. I found that there is less breakage if you pull the strip over the curve with the help of adhesive tape. The handle got a chain link of the Esmeralda and was fixed with 0,5mm brass wire. The fittings are made from leftover sheet metal from the Esmeralda. I have so much old material from the last two projects that I need almost nothing from the current box.
