I finished my last piano sketch :
Walking (piano)
In music, I am nourished by my old friends; Haydn, Beethoven mainly, and for the rest, I trust my inner ear, my luck being that I am completely free and without complexes
1.7 % done 
Today, for my beginning, I only reached 60 knots of low mizain's ratlings (12 steps),
the result under a template shows a good spacing, with everything right horizontal :

I love your work! I can't wait to see your simplified model.

Twenty mizzen ratlings, or one hundred knots, or 2.6% of the total, I begin slowly to accelerate my production :
And, for my numerous friends modelers, my usual evening bonus, I hope that the spring light will come :

It's almost like watching grass grow or watching a cellphone getting charged...
Still, you are making progress and I have no doubt you will be able to accomplish this task as well.
I was wrong : (100 / 2982) x 100 = 3.4 %
I was tired, I typed 3982 instead 2982

Thirty-four mizzen ratlings, or one hundred seventy knots, or 6 % of total, I've really accelerated my production :

8 % done about ratlings :
At the last score, I am at 332 out of the 340 knots of the lower Mizzen, or 11.1% of the great total of 2982 knots
Tomorrow morning, I finish the eight mizzen, and attack the main course : the base of the very happy Mainmast

Only four more ratlings to finish the lower mizzen, I took the opportunity to check their spacing, and it's right :
Here is the pattern that comes out, and it allows me to imagine correctly plan of rest,
after the first two ratlings of the main mast + those of the lower mizzen, we have 358
After the low part of the main mast, we will have added 702 knots, sum = 1060 (36%) :
Lets go, dear boys !!!

After removing the first pair of ratlings, simulation of the new position of futtock-staves (I repair my error ) :
The total of knots would then be 1024, and only 684 at the bottom of the main mast (without access ladders)

Restarting the ratlings, another advantage of rectification, it provides a complete view of the decorative frieze :
I'll follow my shipyard tomorrow
At the same time I have a musical job in projest : a friend asked me for a version
for solo piano (preferably not too complicated) of enormity, dating back to 2010 :
Concerto (piano et orchestre)
When I was still working I had more time for hobbies than as a retiree...

I prepared the new bastet on the starboard side in advance, with verification of symmetry in height :

Hello boys!
To avoid sinking into monotony, I regularly alternate modeling and music, and between the two, sleeping
