Absolutely stunning planking, Kortes!

IFf I may ask, how did you manage to make the planking seams just visible ? Really beautiful!

Happy New Year!

Greetings dear Rudolf I have learned this from an excellent Maitre Dmitriy Shevelev. In order to highlight the joints, I used, just like Dimitriy, a dull needle, and afterwards, on advise of my friend with much experience in this field, i worked on            the joints using a small triangular broach file. But there's one nuance. Before putting the covering I took away a small bevel from the edges of the upper part of each plank. The most important is not to let the glue get on the end face of the plank during the plating .

 

My best regards

Very Cool, Kortes ! Thank you very much for the explanation. Obviously you have an extremely steady hand.

У меня был перерыв в строительстве по разным причинам. я жду

вдохновение, чтобы сделать корпус и палубу гвоздями. А пока я решил поработать над элементами палубы. Пока я сделал только деревянные элементы.

Металлические детали пока не делал, сделаю отдельно, потом доделаю, до установки на место.

I have made hatches, so far only in wood, without nailing and without oil. Now

I am making metal rope guides.

[Keith Black]

 Nice to see a post of your usual beautiful work. 

[KORTES]

The skylights have not yet been covered with oil. I had to try a few

options. Ahead is the manufacture of protective grilles.

 

[FriedClams]

Wonderful precise craftsmanship!

I have made a spire. Due to the lack of a lathe, a different technology had to be used.
