Fantastic work! -
Hello Ed, your construction report is like a textbook for model making. It contains many suggestions and tips. I would like to express my thanks for that. In the near future I will start with the Standing rigging for my French Corvette, so of course I am particularly interested. It is very good to see in your report how systematically you equip your model with rigging. I'm learning a lot. How do you make your ropes?

Hello, I would like to present you a new Video LINK today. It shows the main stages of making the masts for the French corvette. I hope that you like it.

Hello Carl, I use this saw blade from Proxxon: LINK If necessary, I also cut hardwood.

Hello Pete, of course, I'll let you know how to cut a brass sheet 0.25 mm thick with a small table saw. I think that this pictures brings the best explanation. It works even better with a few drops of cutting oil. Of course, a saw blade for non-ferrous metals is required.

Hello, thank you all for your positive feedback. After a long time back and forth I have for the following execution of the gooseneck decided. And I oriented myself primarily to contemporary drawings. I hope that it is reasonably acceptable.

Hello, thanks for your feedback and "Likes", I appreciate your support a lot. Currently I am producing the Gaff and the Boom for the Corvette. There were many interesting details to clarify. So z. B. is located on the Gaff peak a small metal block for the national flag. What is still to be clarified is the design of the Gaff goosenecks the boom.

Hello, thanks for the positive comments and the others for the LIKES. The buoys for the anchors are made. Here is a picture with all buoys.

Hallo Ferit, sorry, wrong translated. Is not called thread but fathom (= 1.8 m or six English feet).

Hello, thanks for the nice comments, and also for the LIKES. An anchor buoy has been completed in the meantime. I put the buoy rope around the arm of the anchor and tied it to the anchor shaft twice.The size of the buoy rope is one-third of the cable. The length varies, for it is shortened or lengthened according to the depth of the water in which you will drop the anchor. Usually the buoy rope was at least 18 threads long.

Only a small progress:

Hi Patrick, very clean and admirably beautiful work. I am excited which way it will continue.

Hello Thomas, recognized correctly, these are thin brass strips. This I cut with the table saw of a brass sheet is 0.25 mm thick. After the provisional adjustment of the ring diameter (slightly smaller than necessary), the two ends are brazed with silver solder. For this I form the ring so that the obliquely filed ends touch on pressure. I hope I have explained it somewhat understandable with my poor English and using the Google translation. For safety, the following drawing:

Thank you for your comments and LIKES, dear friends! When making the hoops for the buoys, I used a small goldsmith anvil. The ropes of the slings were served. To serve the ropes I use a little wonder tool from our member Robert @Tarjack. In addition, more information: LINK

Hallo Carl, it is pear wood.

Hello, meanwhile, I have started with the construction of the model buoys. The brass metal bands are 0.6mm wide and 0.2mm thick. Here are some pictures:

Hello, here I found examples showing buoys with light wooden bodies. The barrel staves are held together with iron rings. The buoys of the La Creole may well have been made this way or that.

Hello Patrick, that is very nice of you, that you show me these documents. Again some new information about the anchor buoys. Thanks a lot for this!
