Tiziano,

I am very impressed that you only made one extra spoke on each set.  I tend to make several knowing I will lose at least one under the work bench and/or break one along the way.😀😀  Are you using a mill or some other unit to mill the grooves?    I don't remember if you and I discussed this when we met last year but for those without a mill, a mini table drill press to route out the grooves when making these parts can be used.  It is not really a recommended use of a press due to the types of bearings, but it worked out very well.

I think full-size cabinetmakers would be jealous of what you have been able to accomplish with the binnacle and belfry. Not to mention the ship's wheel!

Now I understand why they all are identical.  That in itself is a great achievement.

Sorry if I missed it, but is the toothpick wood or plastic or some other material?  From the photo it is hard to tell but it looks something like those in the picture below.

Thanks!!

Ciao
