Dear Henk. It is so great to see you back building again. Everything about your works looks to be the model of accuracy, but then, looking at your sub, one wouldn't expect anything else. Doe zo voort!

 

[Henk Liebre]

HI HANK GREAT WORK INSPIRING ME TO RESTART MY BUILD SOON. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON

Hi Don,

Good to see you here again

Nice to read that posting my photos gives you inspiration

Ha Heinrich,
Try to do something now and then, waiting for them to do something for you in the hospital is being pushed further and further back and more problematic due to the Covid situation in the Netherlands
Only Covid patients are still being treated
Work again on my sub, airbrusch and wood dust is a bad combination

 

[Henk Liebre]

I live near the Eem, a river in the north of the province of Utrecht, I always start the day by walking through this nature reserve for an hour.
I had already seen this building several times.

 

[Henk Liebre]

Yesterday there was open day there, and I am going to watch
A training professional wooden boatbuilder is given there
for the Netherlands in the final, where they still do traditional work

Here a few photos of the building and restoration of ships on a full scale showing craftsmanship

Hello Henk. This is simply wonderful. I am particularly impressed with the two pictures of the Caravage ( even though I have no knowledge about it). For you this is the perfect opportunity of obtaining a set of plans and/or drawings. as many photographs as you need and doing a scratchbuild of one of the subjects. What a wonderful resource you have!

 

[Henk Liebre]

Hello Heinrich

I've been there for a while, and talked to some people there, some knew the BN

And a few more photos

I signed up for a milling workshop, which will start when the Covid situation is below control

 

[Jimsky]

Those are lovely photos, Henk, many thanks for sharing!

 

[Peter Voogt]

Great opportunity to learn craftmanship 1:1 and use it on your 1:72 BN.
Nice pictures of a nice place.
Regards, Peter

For me there is nothing better than the smell of wood which these shop photos instantly brought forth. These traditional methods and results are a rare offering that you are able to take advantage of in the moment as well as for the future. How fortunate you are! Rich (PT-2)

Placing deck beams

(A little more sanding later )

And for the critical viewers ( Heinrich ?? )

The frames have run out of my mail and with the help of Peter this week behind I started gluing them in the mold from back to front
(I'm about halfway)

 

[Henk Liebre]

Beams 126-13 to 126-17 are ready but will be glued later,
after the opening in the deck has been made suitable for the mast

 

[Henk Liebre]

If I glue them now, it will be difficult to get the mast into the mast foot later.

That's why the foot of the mast has already been made suitable

 

[Peter Voogt]

It's beautiful you started up the BN again. Nice progress, Henk.
Regards, Peter
