Making the yards - Main yard - Grande vergue
Before starting to make the yards, I made myself a planing jig in advance, inspired by Ed Tosti's build report for the clipper "Young America" in the MSW, as shown in the drawing below. Rotating and locking clamps allow lumber of various widths and lengths to be fixed in place for machining, especially with a wood planer. 
 
To make the main yard, I prepared a drawing with dimensions based on the plan by J. Boudriot.

 
The next two pictures show how the holding device mentioned at the beginning of the report can be used in practice. 
It performs valuable services in the manufacture of yards. For example, a wooden strip with a V-shaped groove was clamped in place. A square timber inserted in this way can easily be planed into an octagonal timber. In this case for the main yard and later for the leeward spars. These timber blanks are then much easier to machine on the lathe. In addition, they are used to roughly preform the octagonal areas of the yards or studding sail booms. 

   
With the following pictures I illustrate the further processing steps in the yard production. 



       
In contrast to the main yard, the studding sail booms are much more delicate logs with diameters of 3.7 to 2.2 mm, which had to be machined. So that this succeeds also without breakage, I built for this with simple means a small steady rest. With this I can bring small ball bearings for round timber with diameters of 1 - 10 mm into position for support. In the meantime, the small tool has already proven itself very well. 

On the last picture you can see the first results.

 
To be continued ...

Manufacture of the cannon barrels.
Instead of the tin casting process,
this time I used casting powder.
Advantage ower tin casting , considerably cheaper
and enormus weight reduction at this 1/24 scale.

52 Frames provisionally aligned on the keel, not yet straightened.
I will build the remaining frames including the transom separately
and only then place them on the keel.
After all this fixed on the keel, I will first straighten ans sand the inside.

I am pleased to see you are back at work on Le Reqiun.
Really great detail on the kitchen and ship's boat.
Robert

The whole construction is filled with such elegant sweeping lines, and your craftsmanship is truly first-rate.  This is a beautiful model!

Good morning and thank you all, with these photos I have arrived at the current status of the Requin construction, I have caught up.
 
 

Good morning and thank you all, you are right Nils a very fast boat.
More photos.
