Perhaps a possible gangway, if they were thinking of finishing the poop 2 beams in!

[Siggi52]

I never saw there a gangway. The only one left is the gangway from the QD to the entrance and then further to the FC. So it seems to be a mysterious!

Hello,

the wheels. They kept me busy this week, and other things like my garden. But now they are in the raw ready. I think I must not explain the pictures

 

 

 

 and then that  So, go back to start, and try again

 

This time I made the beads before I cut the rim loose. The shipwright is pleased.

In the foreground you see some of the spokes. They are from mammoth ivory. So, if you hear nothing from me the next weeks, I'm busy or I had thrown it all away. I hope not.

 Beautiful ship's wheel, Siggi. Not an easy task. 

[TBlack]

What Keith said is spot on. I find getting those wedge pieces just right a horrible task.

Pure model-making magic!

Hello,

and many thanks for all the likes and nice comments. Today I will start making the spokes for the wheels. I hope, I could present the first spokes this evening.

 

[Siggi52]

Hello,

the first results.  I think, tomorrow I have to make the cutter new. But it is an interesting material and cuts better then wood.
