That's a very remarkable improvement on such a small detail!

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! :imNotWorthy:

    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.

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.

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.
