donrobinson Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share #426 Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks Mike, when she is done the deck won't be so empty, there are so many things that are not on other ships I have seen. Is that tug floating yet? Ian: Thanks I am busy now serving shrouds with my new Domanoff serving machine, what a purchase! It is a fantastic machine, runs so smooth and with the attachments you can even do seizing with it. Way too much fun, I'm actually just stalling from building the ship's boat.

donrobinson Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share #429 Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks to everyone for stooping in, for your likes and of course all the great comments even You(Mike Shanks). Today is going to be a beautiful day outside so this is just going to be a quick update before I head out side to work up a thirst. Actually it is so nice I'm thirsty already!! So lets get this going First up is just another way of stropping/seizing a block with a becket, here I am using the Domanoff serving machine. As this was just for demonstration purposes I will make another one with a 7mm triple that I can actually use This is the mizzen mast with various rigging, not yet permanently attached This the fore mast One of the trestle trees, notice how my nails turned brown in the blackening solution. Only me and my crazy luck I apologise for the poor picture but I was just trying to show my plumb bob for truing the masts and the proper use of a can of mushrooms, magnet and square Here are some outside shots showing the masts stepped. Top mast is not on permanent. Checkout the rope at the bottom of the mast, I'm not sure if this is something exclusive to the Trabaccolo but it is kind of cool. I should have taken pictures of this process but it is three separate coils of 1.25 mm rope followed by two more on top of that then one more at the very top As you can see it is beautiful day here so I am going for a shower then grabbing a cool one getting on the golf cart with some tunes and get to work watching the leaves grow. Fridge is full so come on over, supposed to be 28 today that spells cold beer in Celsius or Fahrenheit You all have a great day and an awesome weekend See You Later Blue Ensign, Blighty, Barbossa and 26 others 29 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ensign Posted May 9, 2017 Share #441 Posted May 9, 2017 Love those outdoor shots Don, a very fine model.

I checked out that build and it is beautiful the guy does some incredible work. I am looking up those books but am not sure if they are in English B.E.: Thanks for stopping B.E., it's really appreciated.

donrobinson Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share #449 Posted July 1, 2017 Hello all, here is a quick update on the Trabaccolo not much has happened but I'll show what little there is: Making chainplates, these were soldered afterwords. Then holes punched using a broken 1mm end mill bit Brackets were made for channels, plans did not ask for them but I thought they would be a nice addition these and the channels are made from rosewood Making of the oars Brackets for the back stays A couple of shots showing channels with dead eyes installed and also the back stay brackets. Brackets and chain plates still need to be touched up with some paint, I 'm waiting until all metal work is done to do it all at once. Just a couple of fun shots Made these yesterday not fancy or pretty but they will soon be filled with rope made on my new Domanoff ropewalk The one on the right in the front row is the one I copied from _SalD_, EJ_L, coxswain and 17 others 20 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
