No pero si tienes CNC es mucho más cómodo, sólo tienes que programar y la máquina hace el trabajo fìsico por tí. Programarlo no es fácil !!!
@Juan María Riera
The reason for my message was only to express my admiration for the level of work of Kortes. With his level of craftsmanship he has no need for cnc equipment.
IMHO that is a compliment and that is in line with MY approach to this hobby; if you have the manual craftsmanship to reach acceptable (for yourself, and that too is for every individual different) levels of refinement, then do it manual. The level of work of Kortes is more than acceptable.
With that said I want to add that I certainly do not look down on the ones that use CNC equipment in this hobby. Just an other approach to this hobby requiring other skills.
On the other hand if you have to produce large numbers of identical carvings CNC could save much time (if you already have the skill of programming). But saving time is not high on my priority list for this hobby.
Not having reached the stage in my build of producing carvings myself I do not yet know if I have it in me to make fine carvings. Otherwise I might have to learn the art of cnc-programming too.

Greeting my dear colleagues ! I'm very grateful for your high marks. I also have great respect for hand crafts, but when you need to cut several identical elements by hand, it's quite stressful.
I would like to present some developments on the latrine, there are some points that are not the way they should be, but i ran out of inspiration to redo it.
I love it . very accurate and precise work 
A very clean job.
Thank you my friеnds.
I have made fish davits.
Very good result
Everything is just done SO WELL Kortes!

impressive method, thanks for sharing with us
The tiller was made in two options , I decided to go with the one made of pear.
are you sure your model is in scale 1:55 ?
Very accurate (and beautiful) work

Yes , my dear friend Uwek the scale is 1: 55.
If I would have built in a 1: 48 scale - it would have been a lot easier. But there's a problem- where to put it in the house.

Very nice metal work on the rudder, very good demonstration of how to slightly saw the bending edge to make it easier to bend.
Thank you my dear friends for the evaluation of my work.
I've made a helm table.

Looking very good - very accurate work
One question: I never understood looking at such helm table - I this closed status the helm / tiller was not possible to move, because of the limitation of the front oval opening, which is too small.
Is it in this configuration only at anchor and during sailing this red marked part would have been removed? Maybe you know this detail more how it was working?
The contemporary model photographed by ancre in the monograph is showing the same
