merchen Posted January 9, 2017 Author #34 Posted January 9, 2017 Von der ursprünglichen Illustration zu ausgeführt Schnitzereien, ist es sehr einfach, wenn man weiß, was man tut. Für das Schnitzen ich nur "Buchsbaum" zu verwenden, in diesem Fall ist die Platte 12 mm dick. davyboy, davec, Tadeusz43 and 8 others 11 Quote

I allowed myself the fun, turned the scythe and in the hourglass I attached a nail. On the way to pick me up, he gets panic because the tool is out of order and he then turns around. pjofc4, Canute, Captain Poison and 3 others 6 Quote

Hallo Merchen, I think it is so quiet on your blog because we are all in silent awa of your skill and dedication. I particulalry like the difference between the dark and the light wood. Assuming the light wood is Box (Buxus), what is the dark wood you used for the hull and curtains? Also, where in the blazes do you get your inspiration from. Slainte gu mhath L.H. mtaylor, Canute and keelhauled 3 Quote Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam Slainte gu mhath L.H.
merchen Posted November 22, 2018 Author #52 Posted November 22, 2018 I make the color contrast with the different woods, because I do not paint the wood and do not paint with it. The other is, I'm always looking for something in shipbuilding where no other person does the same thing. Because it has become mass-like, same models from the same woods. And at the exhibitions or presentations, like the last one in Roquefort, there were all models made of pear wood. You see a model and everyone else is the same. That's why I make extraordinary models of extraordinary wood. With this text, I hope that we have initiated the topic? Ich habe den Text mit Google-Übersetzer übersetzt, ich hoffe der Text ist lesbar? Canute, mtaylor and Duanelaker 3 Quote
Landrotten Highlander Posted November 22, 2018 #53 Posted November 22, 2018 Der Text war lesbar I agree that a lot of models start looking similar, so what I would like to know exactly is what is the dark wood (what species of wood)? Slainte gu mhath L.H. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam Slainte gu mhath L.H.
merchen Posted November 25, 2018 Author #54 Posted November 25, 2018 The dark wood is an Argentine jungle wood. It has only one name and is called by the aborigines: Lapacho. The wood does not float and all woods that do not swim are poisonous. When working, I need a breathing mask. And the light wood is boxwood.

vossiewulf Posted January 18, 2019 #56 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) If it doesn't qualify as a masterpiece, I'm not sure what does. I have not the slightest idea how you managed to achieve some of the carving, particularly what appears to be long lengths of carved rope. I also agree with LH that there aren't many comments because your skill level places you in a completely different league from most of us here, you are playing in the Bundesliga and in comparison, we are playing in the fourth division in Finland. It's hard to say much useful other than "wow". Edited January 18, 2019 by vossiewulf mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64

merchen Posted January 27, 2019 Author #58 Posted January 27, 2019 Für alle die Möglichkeit haben, am 05. Mai 2019 um 18:00 Uhr nach Bodensee ins Museum zu kommen, wird das letzte gebaute Modell der Gondel in einem kleinen Rahmen zum Lebenswerk hinzugefügt. Das neue Modell ist schon im Bau, ein Teil vom Bauplan und das angefangene Modell, das in Spantenbauweise gebaut wird. Dafür habe ich ein bestimmtes System für mich entwickelt, dass ich Freude an der Arbeit habe. (Tut mir leid, im Moment kann ich keine Bilder hochladen) Quote
