  Yay, updates!   

    
     Really, really nice work Theo.  I love how clean and precise all of your edges and carving are.  Outstanding stuff.

Thanks Mike for pulling up my build from the MSW archives, you must have digged very deep ..  :)

 

Hej Guys, 

I know it has been a long time without any updates :(

 

the main reason is space.., i had to pack most of the stuff away as the shipyard had to be cleared when i (after a dramatic change in my employment) started my own business.

The shipyard now looks more like a stockroom and is completely filled up with boxes and equipment.

 

I hope to be able to clear a corner soon, so i can start working on her again

So don't be surprised to see some "real" updates of the ST soon  :P

Best wishes, Theo

Thank you all, for the motivating responses ..

And guess what ! (almost after a year), an real update !!

I have cleared an corner in the basement and started concentrating on the tops of the ST.

 

Again the kit version of the tops are made of plywood and are pretty basic, so naturally I will build them from scratch.

So I started with preparing the planks for the platform itself.

And to glue/shape the platform.

The kits version doesn’t have a “ring” around it, so I decided to add one.

For this I used the “size modified” plywood version as a template, and glued 4 pcs. Of 0.6mm oak strips together.

I started to shape all the ribs with a scalpel blade

I can see now on the pictures that 'm still a bit rusty, so a few "minor" details/adjustments are needed.. :huh:

Hej sjors,

 

Please don’t worry, I’m still alive and kicking  :)

Overwhelming activity in my Business/work is preventing me mainly to come with frequent new updates ..

Nevertheless I’m still working (every now and then) on the ST and hopefully will be able to post an update soon.

 

be alert...

Best wishes, Theo
