  1. @all Many thanks for your interesst und the LIKES. Here is my interpretation of the Bolsters on the trestle trees. This gives an optimal support for the shrouds. Thanks to Dirk @Dubz for this. He gave the decisive hint. And here we continue with the top for the foremast. The following two pictures show the basic structure of a top.
  2. Hello, meanwhile, I have completed the assembly of the top of the main mast. On the first picture all parts to see. The second picture shows how to make holes with the 0.3 mm drill. On the last picture the mounted top can be seen.
  3. @druxey Thanks for the positiv comment. The railing is finished except for the blackening.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. @ 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Hello Ed, Thank you for the compliment. I admire your work as well.
  9. Thanks to Rob, Albert, an all others for the LIKES. Lately, I've managed not much. So I'll show you just a few pictures. I hope I can show more again soon.
  10. Hello Karl, I admire your work!
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Hello Ed, I am always enthusiastic about this great performance.
  14. It is always a pleasure to get positive comments. Many Thanks! Mast production continues. Further details were made.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Hi Nils, thank you for your nice reply. And this is how the result looks.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
