This is the sail locker, not the pump room. I don't have a lot of experience with chisels, but lately I've been learning to use them and I must say that the feeling is very good, so much so that I prefer to do some work with these hand tools rather than with the milling machine. The very important thing is to keep the chisels perfectly sharp at all times. and this can be achieved in a variety of ways, some of which are well explained in tutorials on you tube. In addition, chisels must be of high quality, so it is better to invest a little more money in better tools than to make do with poorer tools that will soon lose their sharpness and ruin our work. The kit of mini chisels of Russian origin that I bought a few years ago and that you see in the photos is really excellent and helps me a lot in the small joints that you can see in the construction of the decks.

Thank you! I'm happy that I can be an inspiration for your work. Luckily I found two supplies of pear wood with different shades, so I can play with the contrast between colours, highlighting neighbouring pieces!

is a good idea, but one must hope that the model survives and is appreciable....... I could put a "skeleton" in the wardrobe! 😄

I will try to build the small wardrobe with two doors and two drawers, but it will not be easy....

wonderful! -
before fitting the door hinges and locks, I applied a coat of shellac to the doors and walls so that the subsequent burnishing of the hinges would not stain the wood underneath.

Some time ago, Druxley pointed out to me that there is an error on his mylar plan: the positions of the scupper outlets are one strake of plank too low! They should come through the black strake, not the upper wale strake. In Volume II the illustration on pages 14-15 is correct. Maybe there is still time to correct....

I applied a coat of shellac before assembling the lower deck.
