Very nice work on the cannons and carriages. I continue to admire your absolutely clean work; even in close-up, it looks great. How did you get the studs to look so even?
Hello , my dear friend Tobias. My technology, in the days of CNC, is low-technical, each cleat was processed manually using a set of files and sandpaper, and the same dimensions are achieved through primary marking and a certain degree of skill. I tried to reproduce the step-by-step production. Perhaps someone will find it useful. My very best regards.
Thank you, Kortes, for the step-by-step explanation. It's very helpful to me and probably to many others as well. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you my dear friends.

I covered the hull with flax oil and put it aside to dry. It's time to do the spar.
Magical! A beautiful hull and planking!
Hello Kortes.
Hope all is well. I wish you a very happy birthday
