Foot ropes.

There was a question about the foot ropes. They were not depicted from before the year 1600. At the end of the 16th century, many inventions were made in the field of shipbuilding. One of those things was the use of foot ropes. Before that time they were usually not there because the two  main yards of the lower sails were lowered on the deck. There the sails were stowed and then the yards were hoisted again. The sails could then be lowered from above. In the Netherlands, the railing had long time  the name "rahout" (ra = yard, hout = wood). Which also indicates that the yards were lowered on it. Barentz's ship from around 1595 did not have those footropes either, which was clearly visible in prints from that time.

After a really long break, I made progress again. Fore and main mast heads created. Just grooves for ropes and fittings... 🔥

[Ondras71]

 Finished the details of the mast heads (cap).. 💥

 

Dewetting for processing bonded parts..

Ready for the next floor with flagpoles...

 

[Ondras71]

I finished the mast fight..

🔥

Towards the end there are already very fragile parts..

Repair. It's worth creating a few extra parts..😪

Mast parts done..💥

Result..

Continuation - Tops..

 

[Ondras71]

Thanks for the like..

 

I was still missing structural elements on the tops supports. So late, but added..

 

Plate tops..🔥

Thank you very muchHubac. Thanks for the like.

 

Moving on to the tops. Creating an accurate 0.75mm thick wooden hoop took some trying. Finally, I looked at the production system on the dividing device under the mill. The dividing device was a bit wobbly, I found a system on the net to adjust the length of the collets and center them.

Base plate leveled on a lathe..

Milling works great by rotating the hands..

Board nails..

The board is glued to the hoop and carefully cut off..

Milled to the correct strength..

Now the top hoop. She is very fragile..😪

[Ondras71]

The second plate weakened under the cutter. After 0.1 mm, it removes sensitively..

Continuation of making hoops. My first attempt from the board broke years later. Second attempt according to reality from glued parts..

I had the cutters narrowed to 3 mm to shape the posts..

Now I will gradually create the shape of the posts, then they will be cut..

Hallo Ondras. Your work is fantastic, I follow it very closely. I am trying to build the same ship using 3D software. I just want to say thank you for this priceless collection of pictures that shows your work step by step. It is invaluable to someone like me. I am just a hobbyist, you are the professional, so I just want to thank you. I upload a picture of my effort so far. It is just a work in progress, not the final colors or textures yet. As ever, looking forward to more uploads from you. Regards, George

Hello George. Interesting and clean painting. I also try to look for details and shapes on the internet, so I agree with your effort. I am curious about the resulting drawing. Ondras

Thus, the production of column tops had two episodes.
The first, of course, is an exam. The direction of the flight of wood betrayed me. The second attempt was successful..

The top of the main mast dries, After waxing, nails and other details are added. The second top will be a piece of cake..🔥

Measurement by a sailor..

[Ondras71]

Tops received mounting elements..🔥

Like the pattern of Barents boat tops..

Here is a beautiful series about construction : 

 

 

Finished tops..

So it's rope and block time..🔥

[Ondras71]

Placed deadeyes pulleys on tops..🔥

This is a stunning work of art! I also admire your building special tools, clever sanding shapes, etc. You give us all a lot of good ideas. Thanks for sharing this Ondras.
