Thanks for the comments and likes !

 

I'm happy that you like it   

 

@ Mick,

 

It just the way you want to work.

I'll doing it this way, one mast at the time from top to bottom.

When I do first all the shrouds , then `i have a lot of ratlines to do.

Now I can change my work....shrouds and then ratlines and then shrouds again and ratlines again etc,etc,etc

If I have to re-do the shrouds,it's not that much.

I hope I answer your question.

 

[Sjors]

Thanks Brian and Lawrence,

 

@ Lawrence,

 

When it is the first of January, I have another break of shrouds and ratlines     

For you and the Admiral also a Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year !

Hope things go better then last year....

No Sjors

You have totally lost me

I am seeing five of eight shrouds fitted and then the ratlines

How are you going to fit the final three shrouds and knot them in to the ratlines ????????????????????

I cannot see it and I don't understand

[Sjors]

Hi Mick,

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.....

 

The deadeyes where are still empty are not for shrouds but for stays.

Each part of the mast has his stay what goes on to the deadeye.

When I finished the ratlines, you will see what I mean.

 

[Micklen32]

Ah I see Sjors

I presumed as you had ratlined right across that the climbey up bit was a lot wider   

I can't wait to see it finished

Hi Sjors,

 

Your ship is coming along very well, I can only hope mine will be at least half as good! I hope you and Anja have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[Sjors]

Larry,

 

Your model is also a pleasure for the eye.....

Take your time with it and you will bring it to an good end.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you and your love ones !

Sjors, Looking good my friend! The SI will be so lonely when you start work on another, she wont be jealous?

Merry Merry and Happy Happy!

Sam

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam,

 

The main build is still the SI and the Aggy is for  "doing something different "

No need to be jealous !!!!

For you and your love ones also a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year !!

 

[Sjors]

Hi lawrence,

 

Thank you and from us for you and the family the same.

My boss loves it when i can come to work.

So tomorrow again.....

Good luck with finishing the ship, I will follow you!

 

Cheers

[Sjors]

Hi Nick,

 

You are more then welcome....

Grab a seat and enjoy !

 

[Kevin]

Good evening Sjors merry Christmas to you and family, from Ruth myself and the wabbits

[popeye the sailor]

I thought you had time off!!!!    noooooooo fair!

[Sjors]

The last update for 2013.

 

The mizzen mast is finished with the shrouds, ratlines and blocks on the mast.

I wish you all a good change of the year and watch out with the fireworks !

We need all our fingers and both eyes for the building !!!!!!!

 

[gjdale]

Great work Sjors,

 

You'll be finished this one in no time.

 

Oh wait........I seem to recall that the Sjors shipyard will be commencing work on the Aggy from 01 Jan 14......maybe this one will take a little longer then

[augie]

Looking very nice my friend.  But there's still 42 hours left in 2013......plenty of time for another update!

[popeye the sailor]

looks super Sjors!   not worries about starting the Aggie on time.........building that hull frame will be a nice diversion from rigging {at least that's what I kept telling myself :D } 

[Sjors]

Thanks for the likes.....I like it       

 

@ Grant,

 

There is no rush with both of the ships.

I take my time with it.

I'm using you as a example   

 

@ Augie,

 

No update this year anymore...sorry 

31 hours to go to 2014   

 

@ Lawrence,

 

I can not make the time goes faster.

The mizzen mast took me almost 4 weeks so the main mast is taking a little bit longer.

But no rush !

By the end of 2014 the SI is also finished ( I hope )

 

@ Popeye,

 

You are right.

Doing something else as only the rigging is a pleasure.

That's why I do two builds at the same time.

I finally got caught up on your progress - everything is looking terrific! Happy New Year!

[Shazmira]

Looking very good Sjors! Time is relative, you will finish when you finish, there is no rushing this hobby at all because when you do, you inevitably screw something up as I have learned!

[Piet]

Looking very nice Sjors!  We, the Admiral Gwen and I, wish for you and Anja a very good, healthy and prosperous 2014.  I'll be watching your progress.

 

Cheers,

She is quite the Lady Sjors! You are living up to your King of the Ratline title.

Sam

[Sjors]

Thank you all       

 

@ Sherry,

 

Thanks for looking in.

For you also a Happy New Year and that the New Year goes better then the old year.......

 

@ Robbyn,

 

I know it's a hobby and not work 

I'll take my time with it and do things better and more then the other builds.

When I reach build 25, it goes perfect             

 

@ Piet,

 

Thanks,for you and Gwen also a healthy and prosperous 2014.

I shall be careful when the fireworks goes of tonight.

I just see on the news that it is not allowed in the USA to lightning up your own firework.

As you know it is a tradition in the Netherlands to do that.

 

@ Sam.

 

Thanks !

 

Can you give me an other name then King of the ratlines ? 

Maybe King of the screw up and re- do things ?

 

 

P.S. sorry for the off topic.

Tomorrow I shall behave !

[popeye the sailor]

I think you've done a fine job of it........you are the ratline king!

 

looks like you'll be a centurion by 2014.......congrats! 

[CaptCraig]

The mizzen mast looks great! Keep up the excellent work! (no pressure)...lol

[Sjors]

Thanks Graig,

 

I know there is no pressure       

Tomorrow i can switch again between two builds 

So, tomorrow it is Aggy time.....

It's nice that I can switch, wood work and rigging work....YIPPIE !

 

Enjoy your switching of the New Year so...Happy New Year !

( Sooner for me then for you )

 You have earned the title Ratline King me-thinks. But I will be happy to call you anything you want as long as you dont ask me to call you daddy....

Sjors, Happy new year to you and Anja.

Sam

[Sjors]

Sorry for the late replay Sam 

 

Thanks for the titel !

I shall where it with honour   

And no worries, I shall not call you Daddy .....Dad !!!!!!  

Best wishes to you and your Admiral also.
