Hi Sjors

 

I thought I would drop in and have a look Your San Ildefonso is looking fabulous Excellent work.I have to ask the question though With completion not that far down the road,are you now a convert to two builds at once?In other words will you start another before Aggies completion?

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Denis and Nigel,

 

@ Denis,

 

Every day is my birthday       

Every day I get one day older.....so I can give me myself a present when I want to       

But the titel Master builder ???????

At the moment I'm more an apprentice !

When I look at your build or that from others....I have still a lot to learn !

For example....being patient !

I want to rush things and then the moderator in the house is giving me comment and I have to re-do things !

Never lives together with a moderator !!!!!!!

I have to because I love her !!!!

 

@ Nigel,

 

Thanks for the good words !

Finishing can still take a while but slowly I get there.

And then for your question.....

I don't know yet what I'm gonna do when the Fonz is finished.

First finishing the Aggy and then to another build or doing again 2 builds at the same time.

I know all ready what my next build is gonna be.

But I keep that in the fridge for a while

Sjors, I know I am late and playing catch up but my friend, that is an amazing looking vessel.   those ratlines look spectacular!!!

 

Such a great job!!!

[Sjors]

Thanks Adam         

 

@ Nigel,

 

I like your post 

I have take it out of the fridge and put it in my mind.

Man, that's cold !

Yesterday the decision is make.......

Because we want to visit the USA in a couple of years to see where all those friends of ours coming from, we have to save money......I just finished those two before I get to another one.

 

[Sjors]

After our vacation I have done something....

It's totally different as planking     

No sawdust but rope dust.......

 

I have ( try ) to make the,

 

Main royal stay

Main topgallant stay

Main topmast stay

Main topmast preventer stay

 

Then I have try to make a connexion between the eyebolt and the stay ....but again, the rope going on his own way....turning around again !

It takes some time before all the stay's are on the eyebolts.

But it keep you from the street.

[DCIronfist]

Amazing you really are a shipmaster now :)

[mtaylor]

Very nice work, Sjors.  I guess the trip to MobbsieLand gave you some inspiration.    Welcome back.

[gjdale]

Nice to see the rigging gnomes back at work Sjors. Now that you're all refreshed after your holiday, I expect we'll see this one finished in no time!

[Sjors]

Thanks All   

 

@ David,

 

Shipmaster ????

Maybe from the ferry the Hollandica or Brittanica   

 

@ Mark,

 

If I had some inspiration it should be from the Aggy.

In real that looks much more impressive then on pictures......

But thanks , also for the welcome back.....

 

@ Grant,

 

Thanks also,

The rigging Gnomes are indeed busy....

But finishing in no time ??????

I don't think so !

It cost me one day to a make one stay......

The rope is turning again !

So re-do and re-do and re-do .....

And monday my bus wil be waiting for me.........

 

[popeye the sailor]

[trippwj]

Welcome back, sir, and many thanks for the update on your build - may take a bit of time for each stay, but dang they look good!

[JanV]

[Sjors]

[vulcanbomber]

She's looking great Sjors, nice work on the crows feet and ratlines. Keep up the good work.

[Sjors]

Thanks Caroline     

And how are you these day's ????

Not back at the shipyard yet ??

 

[vulcanbomber]

No, real life is getting in the way at the moment, I keep looing at pegasus and wishing I could find some more time to work on her, she sits there looking at me rather forlornly!

 

Hopefully will find some time soon.

[Sjors]

You need to remove the dust......

But I know what you mean, just take your time, will be here ,waiting for you.

 

[Kevin]

Sjors just caught up with your log, lovely work,

[Sjors]

Thanks Kevin,

 

I have just done a few running rigging.

I had some problems with the rope that goes down at the main mast.

The blocks where again in a twisting mood 

Tomorrow I will begin at the stays.

No pictures because my external disc has left me....broke.

I need to buy another one before I can save the pictures.

So everyone, be patient......

But when i have an update, I can show you something !

 

[Mirabell61]

A new day and for me an re-do day.....

 

I have change the crow's feet and I hope this is what the meaning is......

If not......DON"T TELL ME !!!!!!!!!       ( joke, please tell me if it is not right )

 

 

Lovely build Sjors,

 

Nils

[Sjors]

Thanks Nils   

 

[Sjors]

Also an update for the Fonz   

When the planks are drying on the Aggy, I have make the main royal stay's......

The only difficulty I find out are the blocks that are at the bottom of the Main-  and Mizzen mast.

The rope was again twisting all the time.

But I think it will be ole.

I don't know if it is the right way to tie the rope what I have done but there is almost no working space.

For the next time I think I will make that first BEFORE i go to the shrouds and ratlines.

Then I have space enough......

 

[augie]

Whoa-  that's some seriously nice rigging.  Those 2 middle pictures make you feel like you're standing on board.

 

Nice keel clamp

[Sjors]

Thanks Augie   

I have to make more stays ( 18 ) with deadeyes and then to the yards......

And then there is a lot more rigging !!!!!!

 

[src]

Very Very nice Sjors!

So you think its easier to do the stays before the shrouds? I may try that when it comes time to (finally) rig my Enterprise.

Sam

[trippwj]

Looks sweet!

 

Umm, are those cannon balls I see? I thought you were using cotton balls?????
