Your pictures are literally worth a thousand words but we'll make do with "Hi".

 

Perhaps someone could point us to another forum where you describe some of these construction techniques. Auto-translate works pretty good these days.

I love how you work around the knots in the lumber to obtain pieces with grain direction that fits the shapes you need!

I just discovered and read through this entire build, and never before have I used the wow-emoji as many times and been so impressed with a build. Wow. Just wow all over. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Simply amazing and very inspiring. 
Thanks for sharing it all, Matiz, there’s so much for me to study and learn just by looking at the pictures in this build.

Question for you Matiz: the main rail of the head has molding along its outside edge, but I don't see how that could be easily scraped in, since the rail is tapering along its length. How did you do that? Entirely manually?

Hello, and thanks to all, for jdbondy: I made an engraving tooth from an old blade, with a stop that rests on the outer edge, 
in this way the engraving is at the usual distance from the outer edge

Splendid work as usual. What rope-making machine do you use? Could you put any photos of the process of making ropes?

Thanks in advance.

 

Splendido lavoro come al solito. Che macchina per la produzione di corde usi? Potresti mettere qualche foto del processo di creazione delle corde? Grazie in anticipo. (Google translator)

Hi, I use a home made machine, I don't have any videos to show you right now, but next time I make ropes, I will ☺️
