Late to the party…again. I hope you had a magic birthday yesterday

 

[Joachim]

Thank you

 

[Joachim]

Thank you
We continue with the expansion, rowing benches, oars, cupboards in the stern, etc.

 

[Joachim]

Just make the tiller on the lathe and then apply shellac to the boat. Vermilion red decorates the trim and it's finished. We'll move on to the second dinghy in a moment.

Some Impressions of the second boat

 

[Joachim]

The second dinghy is making progress. The planking inside and outside is finished. The benches have been installed.

[Joachim]

Hurray, the two dinghies are finished. A total of 3 months of work, a model building project of it’s own.

 

[BradNSW]

This level of attention to detail, patience is the mark of a true master!!

As you say, each boat was a project in itself, and they make you build truly wonderful!!

Thanks for sharing the great pictures of the process you used on these small boats.

 

[Uwek]

Bravo - very good work on these boats - I like them very much
are you finished with boat-building, or do you plan more for your 64-gunner?

 

[Joachim]

No, It’s not finished. The upper deck at the stern will get cabins and another short deck above it. I also have to build railings with decorations for the upper deck and the two ship bells. After that, the masts can begin.

 

[Joachim]

I built the two ship bells on the lathe and I built the corresponding parapets. The next step will be to add carvings to the parapets.

 

[Joachim]

i continue with carvings of the railing of the front castle.

 

[Joachim]

I re-turned the large bell. It was 1.3 cm long, but according to the plan it should be 1.1 cm. That's only a 2 mm difference, but it made it look a bit long. Now the proportions of the large bell are right.
And the railing got small round flower ornaments made of boxwood.

 

[Joachim]

I am continuing working at the stern and started ti build the poop deck with setting the deck beams.
