Hello Thomas,

Hello Carl,

Hello Johann, you have the golden hands your job is a true master, you're really good.

[jose_b]

I know I repeat myself, but your work is really fantastic and very inspiring. I love your way of working the metal and, of course, wood. Thanks for this magistral class.

[archjofo]

Hello,

thanks for the nice comments.

 

Short update:

 

[albert]

Very very nice.

[DORIS]

Great craftsmanship. Looks beautiful. I admire all people who are able to work with wood and achieve such impressive results.

 

[archjofo]

Hello Albert,

many thanks for the nice comment.

 

Hello Doris,

I would like to return the compliment
Your ship models are great modeling art.

[archjofo]

To make the mizzen-top I show a series of pictures.

[noel_colledge]

I like your clamp, is this an item you have made?

[DORIS]

I always admire all, who can made so beautiful things of wood. That is not only a great craftsmanship but also an art.
Best regards
Doris

@noel_colledge

No of course not.
These are so-called hatagane - these are Japanese bar clamps.

These delicate clamps allow finely-fitted small and delicate work

pieces to be clamped for fitting and glueing.

Here LINK I bought them.

 

[noel_colledge]

Thank you Johann for the link.

Your reply makes it sound like you would not be capable of making them. It would not be surprise a to all that follow your work to know you did, as I am sure everyone would agree. You are more than capable.

Best regards

[noel_colledge]

Brought some of these clamps, they are really good. Anyone that needs them in the UK, Axminster and C Z Tyzak do them.

 

Thanks again for the information Johann

 

Best Regards

Here I continue the photo documentation to build the mizzen-tops:

 

[archjofo]

Hello,
the construction of the tops is completed.

I will soon continue with the completion of the masts.

[cog]

"Impec" (Impécable), as the French would say!

[archjofo]

Hello Carl,

thank you for your very nice comment.
But my works are still not perfect.
I only take pictures of the perfect details ... 

 

In the meantime, I made the
topmast deadeyes and futtock shroud plates for the top of the main mast.
Here are some pictures of how I did it.

The parts are brazed.

Love that little hold down tool, Johann. My little pieces want to fly away when brazing.

[MEDDO]

Deadeyes and plates look great.
