archjofo replied to albert's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
HI Albert, this is absolute top model construction! I'm excited. How long do you build on this model? -
Hello Hartmut, You really did a good job!

Hello Greg, here are two images of drilling a 0.6 mm hole in the ball of the stanchions.

Hello Greg, I'll take a picture of it.

@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.

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.

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, 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.
