Working your way upwards it seems. Interesting, you get the treenailing done and add some contrast to the planks. Very nice

Hello gentlemen !

Not a lot of activity for some time : my building is being cleaned, I have to release my balcony-workshop before.

I take this opportunity to harmonize the color of workbenches and other storage furniture :

This done, clear place for the renovation work :

Here are the latest pictures of La Renommée before this forced move :

The following in a few weeks, after reinstallation of the workshop ...

Good day to you !

Patrick, 

I went back to the beginning of your build and slowly went through it. In these days of laser cutting and 3D printing, it’s a real pleasure to see what can be accomplished with your hands and a few tools and a super human amount of patience. Can’t begin to image what you’d be making if they had let you retire at age 10.

Hello gentlemen!

The renovation work on the building is now complete. I retrieved my balcony and reinstalled the workshop. Everything is ready for the rest of the project "La Renommée".

Hello Gentlemen !

It was a long time ago, wasn't it ! I had "lifted my feet" certainly but despite all the work continued ...
A big piece for me: the false deck. I was not sure how to do it. Finally, I decided to do everything by hand : cutting the slats, adjusting them, sanding etc ...

Some photos of the successive stages :

121710.jpg

121810.jpg

A small patina, nails :

I decided to make openings in different places where there is something to see. The upper decks will also be opened to show the structure ...
To summarize : the wedge will be visible through the frames and on the opposite side we will see the structure in "plunging" mode.
I make the openings :

The false deck in place - not glued - to see what it gives :

I also wanted a lighting system for the hold and the deck. I had not shown you these photos where I installed some micro-leds in the bilge to start :

All this being practically invisible from above :

I continue the lighting work with a whole ramp of leds, embedded in a slat, so that they are not visible when we look between the frames :

That's it for the moment. The continuation next time !
I wish you a good day !

It is overwhelming, really beautiful. I have just one question with reference to the led strip. Aren't you afraid it will be very clear with so many leds?
