Jeronimo reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Continuation: Equipment of the yards - Quarter blocks of the lower yards - Poulies d'ecoute et de cargue-point
The quarter blocks of the lower yards were equipped with double strops and lashed at the appropriate positions with rose lashings.
Other model building colleagues have successfully demonstrated that it is even possible to depict a rose lashing on a scale of 1:75 and smaller. It should be all the easier to do on a scale of 1:48.
In this context, I remembered Frank's contribution "Making rose lashings" (LINK). In it he explained very clearly and comprehensibly with text and pictures the step-by-step process of how to make a rose lashing. The tool he made from toothpicks makes the process a whole lot easier.
Thanks to these excellent instructions, I was able to try a rose lashing on a test yard relatively quickly in advance, after I had modified Frank's tool a bit. In this respect, I can simply pull it apart through the sockets and don't have to snap through the toothpicks later.
By temporarily gluing the aid to the yard, the required cross lays can be easily produced.
I like the result. So I will then do it at the appropriate positions.
I still have to think about the execution of the knot.
Sequel follows …

Hello,
the carpenters fished mostly the cabins and the painter painted them. They will get now some free days till Eastern, but the shipwright has to think about the galley. Some bricks are ordered, but there are some more questions to solve.
If you want to find the dust, make a picture 😄

Fore studding sail booms / fore stays - Arc boutant de misaine
The lower studding sail booms were attached to the fore channels of the La Créole with a hinged fitting.
Source: Monograph on the La Créole by J. Boudriot
I made these lower studding sail booms together with the yards from pear wood (largest diameter 3 mm) some time ago. Likewise, the corresponding fittings with the eyelets for hooking in these booms were made and mounted on the front fore channels some time ago. Now these fittings had to be manufactured.
For the execution of these fittings I oriented myself at a corresponding illustration of the Paris model in the monograph. This design corresponds with drawings in the Atlas du Génie Maritime.
Source: Monograph on the La Créole by J. Boudriot
On the following picture collage, I have only shown the essential steps for the production of the fittings. I think the pictures are self-explanatory. The slots were milled. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of this.
The next picture shows the blackened and mounted fittings.
And finally a picture of how the lower studding sail booms are hooked to the fore channels. These booms are secured to the front shrouds in the upper area by a lashing when not in use.
The next step will be the jackstays for the lower and topsail yards. There are still some details to be clarified.
So far I could not find much information in the relevant literature or on the internet.
Would be very grateful if one or the other could contribute something to this topic.

Thank you very much for your interest and appreciation.
Completion: Main yard - Studding sail boom iron - Cercle de bout-dehors de vergue
With the production of the studding sail boom irons for the main yard, this chapter can be brought to a close.
The first picture shows the already mounted studding sail boom irons of the main yard.
In the next pictures I have gathered all the yards that have been equipped with studding sail boom irons.
For the further equipment of the yards with blocks, footropes and jackstays, various details still have to be clarified.
More about that soon ...

Hello,
Thank you for your interest and good approval, and all the others for the LIKES.
Here my further research results to this topic:
Continuation: Equipment of the yards - among other things Jackstage - Filière d`envergure.
In the meantime, I tried to get more information on this topic via contemporary technical literature. The search in the digital library of the French National Library was successful so far. In the work "Manuel du Manoeuvrier" I found this representation. This is an example of the yard arm of a topgallant yard, where the corresponding ropes are laid out in sequence.
Source: Manuel du Manoeuvrier, Agustin Challamel, Paris 1891, page 235
In this respect, I assume that this sequence can also be assumed for the other yards, because Petrejus also describes this arrangement in the book on the "Brigg Irene".
It is clear that for the lower yards a hanger or a strop with thimble for the yard tackle must still be considered. I tend to believe, as also described by Petrejus, that later it was also quite common to remove the yard tackle when not in use.
For the serving of the jackstay and footropes I show here the following:
For this, examples of the USS Constitution and the L'Hermione, showing served variants of footropes, and an unserved jackstay.
Source: Internet - USS Constitution
Source: Internet - L'Hermione
Whereas, to my knowledge, the jackstay on the L'Hermione cannot be historically correct in this way, but it probably serves as a safety line for the crew.
This illustration of a jackstay and footrope show unserved ropes. Here you can also see a strop with thimble and hooked yard tackle.

Every time I check in on Johann's mind-bendingly brilliant project I need to go and lie down in a darkened room with a bag of frozen peas on my head to stop my brain melting! The patience, skill, creativity and artistry is truly sublime.
