Thanks Alex! Here is an update on the progress of boatbuilding.
-
Hey Alex, wonderful!
-
Hello Alex, I admire your ability to model building. Your models are the best I've ever seen. Therefore, thank you for your recognition.
-
Hello, thanks for the nice compliments. Here is the continuation from boat building:

Hello Nils, thank you for your positive response. Currently I build the long boat for the French corvette. This is the largest boat of La Creole, with a length of 8.5 m. The following pictures show the first work steps:

Hello, here LINK I got the plans. Thank´s for the nice comment!
-
Hello, dear friends! Thank you for your kind words and support. I appreciate your comments very much. The five "Baille à Drisse" I have finished in the meantime. To get an idea, I have placed the five container on the deck.

Hi Thomas, hi Remco, in addition to your previous postings I show here again the whole artillery of the Corvette. As can be seen, there are a total of four 18-pounder guns and twenty 30 pound carronades.
-
Hello, many thanks for your nice comments. By the way, that's not a 18 pounder, but a 30 pound carronade. After burnishing is the "Baille à Drisse" completed. Equipped with a coil of rope, it looks like this:

Hi Albert, thank you for the nice comment. So it goes on with the construction report. To rig the 18 pounder I'm still researching on with respect to the breeching ropes. Was this right laid or left laid? In the meantime, I'm doing the "Baille à Drisse", some sort of container for coiling of ropes, such as the topsail-haylard. On the French Corvette was thereof a total of 5 units available. 2 pieces each in front of the foremast and the mainmast and 1 piece in front of the mizzen mast. Here I show the detail of the plan by J. Boudriot. This is an example of this container on the model of the Belle Poule from the Musée national de la Marine in Paris. For the French corvette I make the container of sheet brass. The upper and lower parts were etched. The drawing for the film I made myself. The etching is done by a service provider. After assembly, the part is still burnished. But thereof next time more.

Continuation: Rigging the 18-pounder All components for rigging of the four 18-pounder guns of La Créole were completed. You can see the double and single blocks of Seitentaljen, the eyebolt and the hooks on the inside are attached to the bulwark and the block hook, for hooking the tackles on gun and the bulwark. Until next time ...

Hello, thanks for the nice comments. It is a great pleasure again and again. Here I show you how I make the blocks for the 18 pounder. For this I use a primitive holding device so that I can bring each block with a file in form.
-
Hello, I am very glad for your positive comments, thank you for that. So here are all the hooks before they are blackened. The next picture illustrates a comparison between the 1st version 2 and version of the block with hook.
-
Hello Mark, thank you for your nice comment. Meanwhile, I made the blanks for the hooks. And in the other I make the hooks for inboard.
-
Hi Karl, the rigging has become really top notch. I admire your meticulous work.

Hello, thank you very much for your nice comments. The hooks so far prepared are not optimized in shape. The original hooks were forged from iron. They had thickened and dilutions. The shape is very special, as can be seen in the next picture. Therefore, I have my previous manufacturing method refined. On the next screen, the procedure is shown in 7 steps.
-
Very interesting what I can learn all about the hook here.
-
In the meantime got the double block the sheaves and the pin.
-
The method with a piece of wire, I tried not yet. I put a thin piece of wood in the hole. This works quite well.
