Today is Shipbuilder's Day in Russia. The date was chosen because on this day in 1667, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich issued a decree on the construction of the first Russian ship, the frigate "Oрел"(Eagle) According to archival records, this was the first Russian warship built by government order and at government expense.

On the eve of the holiday, the Day of the Russian Navy, I decided to raise the flags on Poltava. The rigging is almost complete. All that remains is to fasten a few coils of rope.

Peter the Great said, "Let there be small ships!" I obeyed.

I've carved the keel blocks for Poltava. I've placed them on the pedestal. I've tried on the model. I've almost finished with the ropes. I've placed the boat in its place.

I hung the steering wheel. I put nails in the hinges. By the way, here's a life hack. You can use good nails from the legs of old processors from the company. Heat the processor on gas, tap it lightly, and the legs will fall off.

Love the resourceful use of old processors. Will keep that in mind.
