Thanks all for your kind comments. Greg the pillars were cut freehand and with the help of a piece of paper with the cross slide settings written down.

 

More beams, knees and now its also time to add the hammock battens. They are fragile once glued in place and easily knocked off (yes I tried it...)

Love that inboard shot Remco, like standing there in person.  Nice progress with the hammock thingies.  Did you knock one off trying to get your smartphone inside?  B)  ;)   

Plan to have a few hammocks hanging with a few sleeping crew members in them????

 

Lovely work my friend.

I can't just look and not say something. Beautiful work as we all have grown to be with your excellent work. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I been watching this from the beginning and know what you have gone true, so my hat is off to you. Keep the pictures coming.

Wacko

Slowly progressing.

And the progress to date

 

post-20-0-22909100-1442155102_thumb.jpg

 

The pump well I had made years ago got a bit beaten up in storage. As I also was not very happy with some of the dimension of the stock I used I decided to make a new one. 

 

post-20-0-89203100-1442156071_thumb.jpg

 

I made a jig to make accurate cuts for the dado's on the stanchions, it's hard to see but at the far side where the blade cuts is a thin strip of wood the width of the blade to mak each cut at the same distance.

 

post-20-0-47548500-1442155100_thumb.jpg

 

The finished stanchions, the vertical dado's were milled.

Beautiful work, as always, Remco.  I hope nothing else "needs" rebuilding.

Wow! And I thought the first one was pretty darn good! Great job Remco.

The new pump well. Not much different from the old one but the stanchions and the louvres are a little less wide than the old one. It looks more delicate. I also enhanced the joints on the door to show the individual planks.

Remco, the improvements are obvious to the eye, and I salute your relentless pursuit of total perfection. I also like the lighter tone of the wood on the new version. Your work continues to inspire all of us my friend.

Cheers

Dave

You should sell the old ones on eBay!

Good to see you back again at the table Remco.  Your redo of the pump well looks fantastic, yes, I can see the improvement and bravo for tackling it.

It seems that several of us are in the redo business  ;)  :rolleyes:

Sorry for the long wait, 'life' got in the way....

 

Dave, the wood will darken over time, I like the color of free boxwood too.

Greg, the thought crossed my mind :-)

 

The new pumpwell is installed and the next set of beams too. A bit tricky as they are curved in two ways.

Those curved beams came out super nice Remco.  Worth the time you took on making them.
