Its good that I have made the topmast dismountable, just like on a real schooner. I haven't had any problems with the dismantlement.

The knot has been disassembled.

 

That was a very good thing on making and mounting the mast.  I hope the repairs go well.

When I was working on the La Jacinthe, I was following the principle - all that I could make  myself, was made by myself.

    As was shown by your ingenuity at making an ordinary clothes pin into a custom clamp to hold your blocks!  Reminds me of my grandfather who, due to necessity during the depression, had to make many of his own tools for his woodworking projects. :cheers:

Not a very nice thing to see....

It looks as if the glue failed between two parts. Hope your replacement will be a bit stronger.

There was a small rounded cut in this palce, so that when painting the line dividing the colors was clearly difined.

After consideration, I decided to glue using PVA glue. For several reasons - cyanoacrylate glue, even gel, binds very fastly, and I was afraid that the pin will be fastened sooner than it enters fully, on its full depth. The second reason is that once the cyanoacrylate glue is binded is gets very fragile and the junction may crack even at a slight bend. PVA glue is more flexible even after drying, and if there are few gashes on the pin it will hold tightly and more so as the binding time is long enough it allows to put the piece right in place. There’s only one thing bothering me - how much time does it take to bind inside the wood? Perhaps it would be better if i heat up the place where the pin is set?

My best regards.

Beautiful work. What kind of wood do you use for the blocks?

While working on the installation of riggings, I made the flag and pennant.

Taking my wife’s advice I bought a rayon of three different colors, instead of using the dye, luckily it’s not the British flag, so I glued the rayons together, just like the sails.

I made it in two variations.
