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,

@mobbsie

Thx, I do my best :)

@Piet

Thx Piet

So you need just two boats, thats all? Anything else? :D :D :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

@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 :D :D

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 :D :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: :angry: :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 :D :D

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

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

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 :) :)

@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.

 

Hennie
