    Finished the first parts of the foremast. Which is quite interesting and kind of making the rigging aspect of this feel much more daunting cause I'm coming to the realization of how tall this boat is gonna be lol.

    Can you send a link so I can check it out. Weathering instead of staining sounds like it might be a better look because I cant guarantee the same color through the whole project with stain because of the different woods that are in the build.

    good afternoon everyone
     
    still a few fittings to sort, but i now have possibly a ladder im happy with,amother 3 to go but will all be slighly different in the way they are rigged
    if in the long term i do make it again, i will use the original idea of more brass, but for now this is staying

    You could just replank it, but to be honest by the time the treads, blocks and deadeyes are attached its going to get busy in that area, so put it down to experience 
    Personally i dont stain much, but i do weather the wood by using a clay based colour from Flory, brilliant stuff

    good evening everyone
     
    must admit I never realised just how much extra work i have given my self
     
    i am still working on the first of 4 accommodation ladders, and every time i look at @schiffebastler build i see more detail to be added.


    i was asking about how to cut brass tubing into small sections to make the Stanchion supports and found out if i put small lengths into a rotary drill i can score the lenghts quite accurately with a x-acto blade
