a view of the pulleys.

 

I'm going crazy with ropes. I'ma big hands and I'm not used to handling such small stuff.

I managed networks sewing thread, which looks very good. but the color is very dark.

the staying put

[cabrapente]

put an anchor.

[cabrapente]

this pulley is homegrown..

 

the shrouds, I have left something short.

the stays, have aforrado set too thick and do not like.

[cabrapente]

I start again with other shrouds.

This time I have prepared a useful, to come out the same.

this string, it is much more difficult than the woodwork.

[cabrapente]

June 2011.

put the mizzenmast.

although in the book are sketches of the rigging, I just do not see it clearly.

I am placing the ends, where I imagine it can be.

[cabrapente]

I start the carriages.

the barrel, is just to see how it looks. I have thought about making one with the melt and 6.

[cabrapente]

term standing rigging.

[cabrapente]

manufactured the slides

[cabrapente]

July 2011.

finish the yards, with booms (if I remember correctly, because I have not very clear)

[cabrapente]

I have already put all the sticks, but ropes still missing.

not know how to make candles.

[cabrapente]

first attempt to make the stern lantern.

 

because my wife's father, who is also fond of modeling, I have built a brass cannon with his lathe.

I will use it as a mold to cast.

[cabrapente]

I prepared a box compAugust 2011.

Today my father has given me back the gun. because the weld, polish got no good.

I also did a mason.

I the first plaster mold, since it takes much silicone me.letely disassembled to try to melt the lead cannon

[cabrapente]

the first guns came out holes and splashed a lot.

I think the cast was not dry enough, until warmed it, it started running better.

I made a new mold, with additional cast as the first, was beginning to burn.

[cabrapente]

This time, I put the pan in the microwave and hot already, I put the lead.

goes perfect. not grab anything and can be reused. (I thought the cast was single use)

I'm thinking of making a new mold, as this has shot a lot and has imperfections in the union.

surely spare you work.

[cabrapente]

After many attempts, I got a way to make the lantern.

methacrylate sheets stick, until a taco. given the shape of the lantern, and nailed directly brass rods, needless to paste.

Finally, we pay brass rings around.

[cabrapente]

was not happy with the lantern, as I did by eye, and their faces were not symmetrical.

so I made a new one.

the system to do so, has improved greatly.

Now, I make a small notch where the rod is inserted and if the nail tip (previous drill) in methacrylate.

no need to stick almost anything too tight as it enters and costs of out with pliers.

[cabrapente]

imajen in 4334, it is still not to channel.

are very small pieces (such as clips)

next time, I'll put the thread through notches, and will give full circle, nailing just the tips. is much easier and less work.

[cabrapente]

the top, if I took the previous beacon and I have stuck to this

[cabrapente]

September 2011.

to place the leaves, I almost went crazy.

Finally after a thousand tries, I saw the light.

I make notches to the piece, so that between the leaf.

go through the piece with a brass rod.

I put the leaves by the stem and press it against the workpiece tightly with pliers.

tin salary.

at the end, I put a ring of brass.

I like the reultado.

[cabrapente]
