KORTES Posted December 20, 2023 Author #151 Posted December 20, 2023 While the oil is drying out, I decided to start with the boat and longboat. I made two “pieces” and now deciding which manufacturing method to choose. G.L., rlb, GrandpaPhil and 11 others 13 1 Quote
KORTES Posted January 31 Author #152 Posted January 31 The first option went to the trash can. The form seems to be sheathed well, but it’s impossible to remove the shell. Something hasn’t been done fully probably. Apparently I will have to remake the form, and make it from three parts that can be disassembled. tarbrush, scrubbyj427, Keith Black and 6 others 9 Quote
KORTES Posted January 31 Author #153 Posted January 31 I made a technological mistake and here is the result. I will have to try again.🙂 Meanwhile I am tuning the Proxxon circular saw, a gift for the New Year. Some components are very crude and require some changes.

FriedClams Posted February 13 #157 Posted February 13 Sad to see your first effort go to the trash bin, especially as you planked it so beautifully. But your old method produced a very fine boat. Very nice work, Alexander.

KORTES Posted February 22 Author #158 Posted February 22 Basically, I have finished the longboat. I don’t see the point in further detalisation. There will anyway be a boat on top. I didn’t do the the rudder as well, because I don’t have to install it anyway. All that’s left is to cover it with oil. wefalck, mtaylor, rlb and 12 others 13 2 Quote

BETAQDAVE Posted March 9 #161 Posted March 9 On 7/10/2023 at 1:25 PM, KORTES said: I also have great respect for hand crafts, but when you need to cut several identical elements by hand, it's quite stressful. That is probably true, but it just makes your results just that much more remarkable! My paternal grandfather was also very good at carving by hand back in the depression with his own handmade tools. I was always impressed by how he could create such beautiful sculptures and furniture from the most basic tools and scraps of lumber that he could get a hold of. I think that's who I inherited my urge to recycle rather than replace from.

KORTES Posted April 28 Author #163 Posted April 28 In general I have completed work on the small boat. On the drawing it comes without metal fastenings for the mast, after some thought I decided to do it as on the drawing. What is left to do is to cover it with oil, make two slipways and install it inside the longboat. scrubbyj427, Keith Black, dvm27 and 15 others 17 1 Quote
KORTES Posted May 8 Author #164 Posted May 8 I have coated the boat with oil and made a slipway. Once assembled, it turned out to look like this. Macro photography revealed some disadvantages, but in the future I will eliminate them. Rudolf, tlevine, FriedClams and 13 others 13 3 Quote

KORTES Posted August 2 Author #169 Posted August 2 Unfortunately, I got the artillery with a shortage, there were no trunnions for the carronades. I had to make it myself. The main difficulty was producing a large number of identical parts. Since I don’t have enough metalworking equipment, I had to use wood.I made it from black hornbeam which took me some attemps. I deliberately made it simplified, on my scale and with my “machinery park” - I think this is acceptable. Keith Black, JpR62, BETAQDAVE and 4 others 7 Quote
