Hi folks,
A new update from the shipyard. However I must confess, I forgot to take pictures of the fabrication process. I'll guess it was a busy weekend....
I'll start with a hatch.

Second the hatch at the main mast, it looks simple but is was a bit challenging.

Then I wanted to assemble the pumps however, the metal parts included with the kit were in poor condition, that I discarded the parts. So I had to make my own pumps. Looking at some pictures of pumps, consisting out of multiple pieces I decided to use a piece of round dowel. I made all the parts of scrap walnut and assemble the first pump.

Due to the pin I constructed on the bottem of the pump, it's standing very firmly on the deck.

The other one also constructed and placed on the deck. The two brothers side to side.... I also made the outlet holes on the bottom of the pumps.

And that's it for today.
Until next time, thank you for your likes and replies!
