mtaylor Posted October 17, 2015 #272 Posted October 17, 2015 Phenomenal work, Siggi. I think you're right on storing the tools with some on the beams. Where there are no beams then wherever the Captain says to put them.

Siggi52 Posted October 19, 2015 Author #274 Posted October 19, 2015 Hello, the captains sleeping cabin is now ready. Today I build the chest with drawer for his clothes and the washing table with the washbowl. Yesterday I finished the cod. This little pice was really tricky to build. Tomorrow I will start with the lobby. When I understand it right, was this room the dining room for the captain and his guests (normally one or two of his lieutenants) and also a conference room. I would build a table for six persons and chairs instead of benches. In one corner I would set a corner cupboard and that should be all. Did I anything forget, or should I build it in an other way? A large part of this cabin would't be build, because of the open space.

Flamborough Posted October 20, 2015 #278 Posted October 20, 2015 Hello Siggi, very nice work and I can not wait to see the six chairs. Regards Flamborought mtaylor and CaptainSteve 2 Quote
Siggi52 Posted October 20, 2015 Author #279 Posted October 20, 2015 Hello, with the chairs you must wait a little, Monty. Except you start building them, you have enough windsor chairs as samples This morning the captain told me that I forgot a mirror in his bed room So today I must build a mirror and now he is happy. At the second picture you could see the problems I had with the door to the masters day cabin. I had to move the cannon some distance away from the door and had great difficulties where to hang up the bed. Now, when the master is't too fat, he will get without problems into his cabin. For that reason I think they changed so often the design of this cabin.

Siggi52 Posted October 21, 2015 Author #281 Posted October 21, 2015 Hello, so, the table for the lobby is ready and the captain tested how to place him in the cabin.

Flamborough Posted October 21, 2015 #282 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Hello Siggi, you're right I have the windsor chairs but not your skill to build them so small like you. The table looks also very nice some day I will build one but in real size Regards Monty Edited November 1, 2015 by Flamborough mtaylor 1 Quote

SJSoane Posted October 22, 2015 #284 Posted October 22, 2015 Siggi, It is fascinating to see how you fit guns and furniture into the space, discovering how certain arrangements work and others do not. It is a level of detail I had never considered. Good job!

Siggi52 Posted October 22, 2015 Author #285 Posted October 22, 2015 Hello, today I build the cup board. It was't so easy, but nothing against that what comes the next days, the chairs. Here you could see, that even for only six persons the room is not too large. I'm not really sure which kind of chairs I will build. Even the simplest chairs had a lot of turned parts in those times.

Siggi52 Posted November 3, 2015 Author #289 Posted November 3, 2015 Hello, thank you all for your kind words. Last week we had here beautiful sunny fall wether, so I'm mostly out in the garden and doing there this and that. But since yesterday we have again the normal November blues. I took the picture at 11:45 am today and we had only 3°C or 37°F! So I went in the underground again. But I had made the paperwork for the chairs already Mark. Today I started turning the legs. The bevel left and right from the beads I made with a file. and that is the output Next came the seats That was't so hard to do, but assembling the whole was not so easy. But I had help The glue was't really dry and the captain would have a look how they fit to the table. The seats are 9 mm high Tomorrow comes the hard part, making the back supports. I will see if I find wood that would bend easily, otherwise I make the whole out of copper wire. The battens between the legs, I think I skip.
