Hello Albert, Jim, Greg, Carl and Thomas, thanks for the kind words, and all others for the LIKES. @ dvm27 Hi Greg, I use these saw blades. It is also important that the saw blade have 32 teeth.

Thanks to all for the interest in my report. In the meantime, I have made some progress on building the top of the main mast. Currently, I'm going to make the supports for the railing.
-
@ jose_b Yes that's right. This small wooden part serves as a guide and has exactly the distance corresponding to the perforation of the gratings.

Hi Albert, many thanks. Here is a brief update:

Hello, Ed and Carl, thanks for the nice compliments and all others for the LIKES. The floors of tops at La Creole consist of grätings. Here I show some pictures of the production. Furthermore I show how I make the frames for the tops.

Hello Ed, Thank you for the compliment. I admire your work as well.

Hello Karl, I admire your work! -
Hello Denis, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the nice comment. @all Thanks for the LIKES! The construction of the masts continues as shown on the next pictures. The other parts are shown as -Topmast cross trees - Topmast cap and topmast head - Topgallant mast

Thank you, Albert! Here is an update on the construction of the masts and topmasts. On the first picture is to see how I just made the hole for the sheave of the top ropes. The next picture shows the topmast heel with the fidhole and the fid. On the last picture, the components are provisionally composed.

Hello, Here we continue with the construction of the masts. The following picture shows the foremast in progress. The other picture shows the parts for the lower mast Crosstrees and the frontfish for the main mast.

Hello Thank you for your interest in my construction report. After drilling the holes, wax filler sticks are simply pressed in with small spatula. The pearwood is treated with baling polish only after the "treenails" are made. The following products are used: Wax filler sticks LINK Baling polish LINK I hope that I have explained it in an understandable way.

Hi Thomas, thank you for your nice compliment. I will try to make metal rings for the mast of brass, as can be seen in this LINK experiment.
-
Hi Nils, thank you for your nice reply. And this is how the result looks.
-
Hi Albert, thank you for your nice comment, and all other for the likes. On the next picture collage the grinding of the mast can be seen. I do this with small boards on which sandpaper was glued. With the fingers you can regulate very fine the pressure. I hope I get a good result.
-
That's right. At this length, the rod becomes more unstable in the middle, the thinner it becomes during processing. To prevent this, you need a backpressure. This is what I make sure by hand.
-
Hi Nils, you're doing a great job.

Hi Carl, the length is 50 cm and the diameter is about 18 mm. This works so far quite well until the part is round. The conical shape I produce by grinding.

Hello, many thanks for all replies and likes! There was some time quiet in the model shipyard. Now I have started building the lower masts. According to the original I build the lower masts from individual parts. At least I try. Whether it works, will show. For this purpose, I have drawn up a simplified scheme. In the following I show a first attempt. Here I show the assembly of the main mast. And here I begin with the turning and grinding of the main mast. Continued coming soon ....
