Ok! I hope this little tutorial will help you to understand how I make the small hinges:
I use a very thin sheet of metal cut into strips of a suitable size:




This metal strip folds back on itself:


to create the hinge I use a very fine drill bit that I insert into the end of the folded metal sheet:



Then with flat nose pliers I gently squeeze to create the shape around the hinge:




Now with a very fine grinding wheel I shape the hinge:




Now simply insert a pin of the appropriate size:

I prepare the holes for the nails:

Finally, I finish the final shape with a small grinding wheel or file:

you showed the making of the glas with one photo in post #377 - which fluid material do you use?

a slight difficulty for these hinges:
everything is provisional still, I have to prepare the right-hand doors before fixing the bulkhead and beam

I have started on the castle deck:

Just a question, what were you pulling through the draw plate and where does it fit into the scheme of things?

I guess some wire for immitating the nails in the gratings
BTW: double nailing per cross


I realized, that the gratings and hatches have a much bigger camber than the deck or deckbeams....

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

Oh yes! When I zoom in on grate photos I see the nail heads. Great idea added another level of detail.

As Uwek said, I needed 0.2 mm wire for the grid nails and the thinnest wire I had was 0.3

Looks like it to me too but I followed the drawings....

I was (still am) happy with my waterways, but yours are next level. Very well executed.

Hello Ricci, wonderful work. I'm always in your construction report from L' Amarante to pick for my La Palme. When I compare your Amarante and the Pegasus there is a very big difference in quality, a great increase in quality and delicacy, just beautiful to look at.

Very nicely done with a steady hand and very sharp chisel. In the picture after the chisel picture you have nail heads in a perfect pattern. How did you drill them by hand or jigged to a mill/drill press? To my amazement how perfect the pattern.
