Sjors,
It's been forever since I looked in on this build. Sorry I've missed so much. The rigging is amazing. Well done my friend.

welcome to the log Bill sometimes, I do wish I had some of the cool tools.......but I think how well I've gotten on without them, and a lot can be accomplished with a box cutter and miter box / saw. one of these days........maybe thanks for the good word!...pop in anytime...
thanks Bob........I enjoy fitting the layout...all the fiddly bits and stuff. thanks for the good word!
yes Kees.......I've made the gallows out of wood....still need to flesh out the mast and booms a bit more. I have a double spool winch which is the last bit from all the extra Nordkap parts I had. the port holes and window frames came from that kit as well. I also want to put a single gallow on the port side, so I'm looking into scratch building some smaller winches. still more to go.......still more parts that I've already made to go on still. hopefully, I can add some of the detail that you do very nice work you do
had to work Tuesday night, and wasn't feeling well during the day.......so not a lot got accomplished. perhaps today will be better

Just spent some time here cruising through the whole log. Great work, and even more so that you are showing that a person doesn't need a shop full of fancy tools to do beautiful work. Mastery is in the hands, not the toolbox
Best Regards,

Dave,
Absolutely, I'm up for that! Perhaps we could get together soon. I'm currently turning a cabin on our property into a cabinet/furniture shop. I'm also setting aside a nice enclosed area of the shop for the shipyard. Just frame at the moment but moving forward! Would love to see your shipyard

Doc,
You had my attention as soon as you mentioned Red Heart, and going with what pleases the eye. Following, and we're not to far from one another

Sounds good, Bill!
I installed the stern blocks and faired the bulkheads and blocks.. I need to finish the deck and cover the exposed part of the bulkheads before the first hull planking.

Glad you could stop in, Bill. It looks as though you are a full-scale carpenter/woodworker as well as a model shipwright. Am I right? Woodworking in full scale is also a lifelong interest of mine. I live in Pewaukee, about 55 miles from Madison. Maybe we can get a few other Badger ship builders together and start a club in south central/south eastern Wisconsin! There isn't one as far as I know.

Sjors... why not serve them by hand? I would never buy a serving machine when I can do that job by hand very easily. I place two alligator clips at a certain distance, put the line taut between them, and with a spool of thread in my hand start serving. It really is very simple.

Sjors, what a nice rope. Like the others said, stays were served just to a point a bit further where the mouse is.

Bill Hime reacted to Sjors in HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64
Today I received my last rope that I needed for the rigging.
Nope, I'm not starting right away !!!!!!!!
I have a question for all of you.
At the end of the post you will see a picture of the rope that I'm gonna use for the fore and preventer stay.
I know that those stay's has to be served.
But........it's almost a shame to hide that nice figure rope under n other ,thinner rope.
So my question is.....can I just leave it as it is ?
No served stays.
Or is that the same as starting an ice company at the North pole.......
I will served the shrouds what is needed.
I will wait for all your fine answers.......

Nice serving machine Sjors, and nice stays and nice shrouds, and nice everything! It's all much too complicated for me but an enjoyment to watch.
Cheers,
