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

Fantastic work!

Hi Patrick, that is an excellent detail work.

Fantastic work!

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 Doris, again an artistic achievement of the highest quality.

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!

Hello, it's always a great pleasure for me to receive such a positive response, for actually a tiny detail. For the nice comments I would like to say thank you very much, also for the LIKES. Here it continues with another piece of equipment: Bouée d'ancre (Anchor buoy) For the execution of the anchor buoys for my French Corvette, I originally assumed that these were customary around 1800, also made of cork discs (2.5 - 3 cm thick). Therefore, my assumption that the drawing to anchor buoy of J. Boudriot from the monograph to La Créole is rather schematic to understand, as well as the buoy on the Parisian model. Source: Monograph La Créole Source: Monograph Original Model However, the buoys made of cork disks have uniform structures, contrary to the presentation of J. Boudriot; These remind me more of bands or rings. Thus I tried to get even more information for the production of the buoys. Source: Seventy-Four-Gun-Ship Vol. 2, J. Boudriot Source: Royal Museums Greenwich In Franz Ulffer's handbook of seamanship, a buoy with banding is shown. In addition, subdivisions can be seen in the longitudinal direction. Source: Franz Ulffers, Handbook of Seamanship 1872 Consequently, I tried again to study the relevant passages in the monograph in more detail. Accordingly, Boudriot describes the buoys in such a way that they consist of four light wood parts, which are held together with a banding. From what these bands should have passed, I could not find out so far. However, it is obvious that they may have been very thin iron bands. In order to get clarity to the implementation of the buoys in the model scale 1:48, I must probably get some information. Maybe someone of you can contribute to this? Sequel follows …

Hello, many thanks to all for the nice comments and the LIKES. The lifebuoy has received the wrap with ropes and ropes on which those who are to be rescued can hold on. Finally, I show a picture with the lifebuoy on the model.

Hello Carl, I'm sorry, but at the moment I do not get much Modelling. I'm very busy in my job. So I do not get into oblivion I sign up with small details.

Hello, just a short update:

Hi Karl, fantastic carving!

Hello Doris, I find it very exciting that you show us with a video how you make the sculptures. Of course you need a lot of talent for that, too that works in the way you show it. I admire that very much. I can not do that unfortunately.

Hello Carl, I followed your recommendation. Therefore, I have received further interesting information from Patrick @Jouff on "Bouée de sauvetage". With his permission I can show you. And here I started with the realization of this lifeboye in 1:48 scale.

Hello, it is always a pleasure to see that there is still interest in my construction report. Thanks for that Mike, Mark. E.J. and also thanks for the LIKES. At the moment I am looking for information for the lifebuoy. Here are some pictures of the Parisian model of La Creole: And here is a part of the famous Picture of Vernet Horace: As far as I know, the disc is made of cork and covered with canvas. I would be very grateful for more information or pictures, so I get the details can do it correctly.

Hi Karl, exceptionally good carvings! I have rarely seen such.

Hello Alberto, thanks for the compliment and all others for the LIKES. Here is a short update:

Hello, in the meantime, I have made a lifting gear for the gig. The historical picture is from the "Manuel du Gabier", which I took as a template.
