Remcohe Posted March 3, 2015 Author #902 Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for the dimensions. I don't use a scale ruler but a conversion table to quickly get from feet/inch to mm Work continued on the bowsprit step. To accurately determine the step (square hole) in the chock (the vertical plank between the bitts) I had to make the bowsprit itself too. I find it very satisfying to make a mast just with hand tools, it takes time but the result is very accurate. While cutting the step the rabbet between the two planks very nicely The bowsprit was cut from square to octagonal to round using a hand plane, well honed chisels and sandpaper. The base going from round to square And the tip The step is also rebated into the upright bitts Remco Jeronimo, cog, qwerty2008 and 33 others 36 Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Remcohe Posted June 20, 2015 Author #915 Posted June 20, 2015 Finally a long overdue update. My KF got little attention lately as work and other (fun) projects got in the way. I cut all the mortices for the carlings in the upper deck beams and started to make the first of the knee's and hanging knees. These are not one of my favourite parts to make and unfortunately every beam has a hanging knee. This is due to the heavy load on the deck with all the canons. I'll stick to my mantra and go step by step or part by part in this case Remco robin b, rafine, tadheus and 47 others 50 Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Remcohe Posted July 29, 2015 Author #927 Posted July 29, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words and likes. Work is progressing and more knees, hanging knees, carlings and ledges are added. I also forgot to install a pillar in front of the fore mast , but that was taken care of. The last opportunity to take a look at the sail room before its permanently installed in the hull Some of the knees with mortices cut The state of the upper deck to date The next weeks will be more of the same... with the addition of installing hammock battens as I work my way across the deck Remco Chuck, Farbror Fartyg, tlevine and 30 others 33 Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.
