Hi Johann.

Perfect !!!!!!!

Karl

[jose_b]

Every longboat that you made is better than the previous one, and this it's getting more and more difficult because they all are near perfection.

[archjofo]

Hello,
many thanks to Jose and Karl
for the kind posts,
and to all the others for many Likes.

So it goes on:

 

[Fam]

Johann

you have done this so many times now that it seems a Ford or VW factory, not a modeller workshop!  

I have three boats for my Colibri Brig, if you volunteer ...

Fam

[archjofo]

Hi Fam,
this is the fifth boat, but it must be enough ...

[archjofo]

Hello,

here it continues with a brief update.
The attachment of the gunwales are preceded by the marking.

Just catching up on your build and watching a few videos at a time. Doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. I'm watching a master! There are no words. There has never been, there is not now, nor will there ever be a poet that can put into words how amazed I am. Thank your parents for me for conceiving you:)

[archjofo]

Hello Brian,

many thanks for your nice comment.

At the weekend I can have more time for my hobby, the model ship.
Moreover the weather is not so good. Therefore I can show you today a further advance of the construction of the gig.

 

 

[druxey]

Just catching up with your progress, Johann. Very delightful and neat!

[michael mott]

 

Johan I would like to know how you cut these pieces with those snips

 

Your work continues to amaze me is is so clean and precise.

[archjofo]

Hello Michael,

thank you for your interest in my work.

I try with my modest knowledge of English to explain the preparation of this part.
First, the dimensions of the part to be marked with a scriber on a brass plate. Then I saw using a coping saw the inner rectangle from the plate and then I cut with the tin snips, the part in the form.
With the file, the part is finally treated, as can be seen in the picture.

I hope I have expressed it somewhat understandable.

Johann,

 

When you finished your first boat, I thought can this be done any better ...and yes you did that with your second, after which I thought ... indeed the same question, and subsequently the same answer. It seems you surpass yourself with every build you make ....

 

How will this one turn out ... so far you are on track, looking very crisp and flawless ...

 

Cheers

Hello Johann, yes thank you now I understand.

 

Michael

[jose_b]

I completely agree with druxey.

[archjofo]

Hello,

thank you very much for your kind posts and LIKES.
Here I show the further construction of the gig.

 

[aviaamator]

The thickness of plates of the cladding is impressive...

[michael mott]

Each one of these small boats is a gem, and enjoyable to watch then evolve.

 

Michael

[archjofo]

 Hello,

@aviaamator

 

The thickness is deceptive. One sees from above the gunwales, which is thicker than the planks.

The planks have a thickness of approx. 0.7 mm.

 

 @ micheal mott

Hello Michael,

@all
