Indeed... wonderful work.  That rudder is a masterpiece by itself.

The finished rudder looks like this.

Hi Mik,

thank´s for your nice comment.

 

Here are a few new images to build the sloop (chaloupe).
The anchor davit (to laying out anchor LINK ) on the stern of the boat is constructed somewhat complex.
For this detail the documents from J. Boudriot were not sufficient.
Therefore, I oriented myself on Atrlas du Genie Maritime.

That little boat is a model in itself. Excellent workmanship. keep the pictures coming.

Johann,

 

You keep on surprising us with small treasures in this (sub)build. It truly is a masterclass in building a chaloupe ... planning on making it 'une chaloupe armee en guerre' ... Wunderbar!

[mtaylor]

Wow.. wonderful boat.  And that last part on the anchor davit clears up a lot of questions I had about the stern.

Splendid work, Johann!

[uss frolick]

Johann, I sure hope that you are planning to publish a book someday about your Creole build!

What's left to say ... what could one say ... splendid work, Johann.  I'm glad you made such an extensive log about the cahloupe!!!

[archjofo]

Hello,
for your nice posts I say warmly thank you.

Here I show the first attempt to produce the thole pins.

Johann,

 

You call that an attempt ...!?!?!? I would be thrilled to have that as a final result ...!

Hello,
Carl and Greg,
Here are the next attempts .... :D

The nailing I made with holes diameter 0.5 mm. The filling is made of furniture wax.

Before I put the parts in the sloop I have it coated with "Ballenmattierung".

G'day Carl

I think we are using different dictionaries because what you called ATTEMPS. 'By joves' I wish I can do that in my attempts!

Cheers....mick

[cog]

Greg,

 

Which one are you using .. Websters??? Collins or is it a thesaurus you've got in front of you ... As long as it is clear enough to get the meaning ... isn't it ... Johann is crafting a masterful small build as Mick so eloquently wrote ... so I too lift my (original Aussie) hat to Johann

[giampieroricci]

excellent work!!! 

[Alex M]

Johann, I can only second what other been wrote: excellent!

Hello there,
thanks for the nice comments. That makes me happy.

Original the tholes were made of wrought iron. For the model
I made this in brass.
The last picture shows the sloop in its future position.

I was literally shaking my head when I saw the brass pins. Your metalworking is out of this world. You must have a microscope attachment on your lathe ;-)
