The boat looks very nice! I don't see any breakage.

@Elijha

Thx  Elijha.

So I did well. You dont see any breakage, but I know there are several :D :D

 

Finished the third ship boat, so time for an update. One more boat to go......

Beautiful work on the boats Hennie.  Remember now, I need two for a 1665 era VOC ship, I'll put my order in now

 

Cheers,

[Hennie]

@mobbsie

Thx, I do my best

@Piet

Thx Piet

So you need just two boats, thats all? Anything else? :D :D  I will ask my regiment "kaboutertjes" to build some boats for you!

 

But whats more important......I finished my boats!!!

 

Now I just have to wait for my 1mm raw wood (butternut) to make my 34 oars. The webshop promissed me I will have them at the end of next week. So it took them 5 weeks. Probably hard to get.

Awesome Hennie,

 

I am enjoying your build better than my own! I hit an issue with the planking as it descends below the main gun deck which I am going to take by the scruff of the neck and deal with this weekend. In the interim, I have played with the 18' cutter and am just gluing up the framework. Rigging cannon and making eyelets and hooks etc.

 

Your work is fantastic and I hope that mine can match it in due course.

 

Regards

[Hennie]

@Etnz

Thank you very much for your kind commend. Why dont you not show us some pictures of your build? What kind of problem did you had whit the planking?

@Bob

Thx Bob

 

And a small update

Boomkins are on there place....

 

 

[cobra1951]

Nice and neat

[Sjors]

Dangerous that you put the boomskins on at this moment.....

But it looks fantastic !!

 

 

Sjors

[Hennie]

@Bob: thanks, I do my best

@Sjors: Thanks Sjors and yes, I know and of course you are right that it is a bit tricky to put the boomkins in there place already. But the building is now in a stadium that I have to be carefull with every movement I make....

And..... should I break one, its not that difficult to replace it :D

 

Hennie

[Hennie]

Forgot to thank you all for all the likes

 

Small update: the foot cutter is in his place, three ship boats to go....

 

 

[Sjors]

I see oars       

It was working what we are talking about Hennie ?

Nice oars BTW !!!!!!!!!

 

Sjors

[cobra1951]

Looks nice sitting on it's mountings

[Hennie]

@Bob

Thanks

@Sjors

No, I didn't use the lathe. I never used such a thing, thats one of the reasons I pay you and Anja a visit next saturday   For instance: I really thought that this machine had 2 rotary buttons. One to set the diameter of the raw wood on the left side and one to set the diameter on the other side. Then push a button and that I only had to look at it how it was done. But I also googled a bit and I learned that this wasn't really the way this machine works I also learned I had to buy a set of chisels to make it work :D :D and that order hasnt arrived yet. Yesterday morning my order of raw wood has finally arrived after five weeks waiting. And guess what: wrong order. Paint was oke, but the wrong knives and instead of the 5 pieces of raw wood butternut 1mm I ordered, I only received 2 peaces .......zucht....

I send them a really nice mail............ :angry:

But whats more important, The 2 raw wood, which I did receive, was just enough for all the oars. I had 200cm and now 3 cm left :D

Does anyone know if there is a webshop where I can order butternut raw wood 1mm and also other wood???

 

Hennie

[Piet]

That boat looks rather sharp lashed to the beams Hennie and sorry to hear about your mixed-up order.

 

Cheers,

[Hennie]

Sansa and I visited Sjors and Anja yesterday. Thank you both for a wonderfull afternoon. And Sjors, thx for the rope and the rope standard. I already ordered the riggingrope, so I will use it next week.

 

 

[Sjors]

You are more then welcome Hennie.

We enjoy it also and thanks for the tips

Nice Picture Sjors,Edwin

[Hennie]

And a small update. The shipboats are on there place and this means I finished the hull. The three lanterns and the anchors I will do at the end after I finished the rigging. And now a new and exciting chapter starts: the bowsprit, the masts and the rigging. Sjors showed me how the lathe works so I will start with the bow sprit tomorrow :)

 

[cobra1951]

Awesome    The first shot shows what a great ship she was

[Hennie]

And of course Sjors was right. This happened yesterday before..... I just turned my butt......and.......KRRRAAAK :angry: :angry:

I redesigned my hobbyroom (just finished) so this wont happen again :P

Boomkin already replaced.

 

Hennie

[Hennie]

@Bob

Thank you and yes, she is not only great but now I put the bowsprit in its place, I can also see how tall she is.

 

Hi all, a small update. I just finished the bowsprit. Tomorrow I will start with the foremast.

 

 

[cobra1951]

Very nice

[Sjors]

Hennie,

 

I will not say....I told you so !!!!    

Very nice bowsprit.

You are using the lathe finally ??????

And now on to the masts....  

 

Sjors

[Elijah]

Nice job Hennie! Your shop is nice and neat!

[Hennie]

@Elijah: thank you

 

@Sjors: thanks and... yes, you told me...

Using the lathe goes more easy than I thought in the first place.

Btw, I have a question about that:

- on page 10: the Hounds and Trestletrees for the top and topgallant masts: they say you can use peaces of 1x3mm walnut and tapering the lower part till they have the diameter of the mast. But its not needed when you have a lathe, is it??

 

I am still working on the foremast. Far more work than I thought. I will make some pictures when I finish the first mast.
