Brig Le FAVORI 1806 by KORTES - 1:55

[KORTES]

I've made and assembled the stem.

[KORTES]

I have finally finished knees a latrine.

[KORTES]

I feel the inspiration has left me - I had so many unsuccessful tries.

[Keith Black]

Kortes, you may feel uninspired but your beautiful work is always inspiration for me.

Kortes, your log is still an inspiration to me and  others, the fact that  even a master like you needs a few  attempts to achieve perfection is somewhat comforting. Keep up the beautiful work!

May god bless you and your folks!

Perfect, exacting work Alexander!

You should see my junk box! Your work is stunning Kortes. Nobody gets perfect results every time but persistence pays off.

[KORTES]

Thank you , my dear friends, for your support. My best regards

[KORTES]

Partially installed after decor.

[KORTES]

I have prepared and adjusted the components of the stern shells in place.

[KORTES]

I was quite a challenge to make carved elements. Hornbeck is quite difficult to cut,it's quite strong and fragile , and the scale is a bit to small for me.

The assembling is still to come and the fitting in place.

[archjofo]

Fantastic work !

[FriedClams]

Beautiful work as always Alexander!

 

Gary

[KORTES]

Thank you my dear friends for the evaluation of my work.

[KORTES]

I've made nailing of the boards. And made the ports of the oar fairleads.

[Mic_Nao]

Very nice build. It's a pleasure to read your log.

[KORTES]

I decided to change the covers of the ports .

[archjofo]

Fantastic job !

[KORTES]

I've made and curved the railing.

I have installed the gunwale. Now it is important to finally make the stern. Ahead is left the manufacture and installation of sloop beams and bollards

[Valeriy V]

Very neat and clean work!   

[KORTES]

I have  made crambolas and boat davit. Fitting was without glue, I will install the boat davit later, so that they don't  break off when i will working with the steering wheel.

Yes, that would be very upsetting to damage such wonderful (and no doubt time consuming) work.  Very precise, clean and sharp woodworking.  You are a true artist, Alexander.

[archjofo]

Exemplary clean work results in beautiful details.

[KORTES]

I've made some details for of the stern

[KORTES]

Made and installed bollards.

[KORTES]

Еvery craftsman will find it differently, for me making a latrine is the most difficult part of the model. The work will take a long time, so I will post the results by the way of proceeding.

Have been working with the drawings , and made patterns.

I decided not cut the elements out, but to bend in parts with the following gluing.

[KORTES]

I have installed the lower crossbars.

[KORTES]

I have installed the beams and filled in the grate of the top flooring .
