That's because there aren't any more.
Thanks, Dean. It's about pushing boundaries from time to time.
But it’s more then enough!
Thanks for this nice words/poem, Chuck.
Regards, Peter.
A new post took some time. A lot of tinkering with parts and placing them on the model.
The bollards on the deck and the bulwark were next.
For hauling the 'reep', the rope on the 'vleet' (fishing nets), there's a wooden bollard with a disk:
The lashing rail is interrupted and secured to a little support on either side. Arrow A is shown in the overview photo that will follow.
There are also three different cast iron bollards:
B: On both sides, three 'hanging bollards' secured on a wooden plate on the bulwark.
C: On the foredeck, only on the starboard side, a large bollard with two diagonal arms.
D: On the aft deck, on both sides near the hawseholes, a double bollard.
An overview photo:
So there also need to be detailed photos .......
The wooden bollard:
With the interrupted lashing rail. There's still a lot of 'touching up' to be done, but that's for later.
One of the cast iron bollards:
Equipped with the wooden back plate.
On the open side of the structure, I had to be creative (thanks AL-FI
):
With the wooden plate with pre-drilled holes to attach it to the bulwark plate. Also with the interrupted lashing rail.
The double bollard on the foredeck and aft deck:
The bollard on the foredeck rests on a filler so that it just rises above the deck planks.
Meanwhile, the skipper also came to take a look on the building progress:
A real fisherman on wooden clogs, with an oilskin jacket and a "southwester."
Thanks to:
Carl @Carl W for the-> design <-, a member of the Dutch Forum ‘Bert’ for the ‘clog-adjustment’ and printing and Henk @Henk Liebre for the painting.
