Hello dear friends
I started milling and sanding pieces of ebony wood in order to make a desk and a chair for the officers' room.
At first I sanded and smoothed the pieces, then I marked with a pencil the areas which I later milled using the Mf70.
The intention is to build a desk with a 4-drawer cabinet and a socket/
longitudinal space where the officers will place maps or books.
I milled the area of the drawers to a depth of a 1.2 millimeter approximately, into which the front part of the drawer from pear or walnut wood will be inserted.
I milled the table and top panel of the cabinet in a way that creates a stepped cornice.
I'm in the middle of the process, I'm still supposed to prepare legs for the table as well as a matching chair.
For now, enjoy the process and the intermediate result.

brilliant
 
My dear friend, this is great progress and I can only agree with Christian. I would be very happy to meet you again next year in Augsburg, with or without a model.
 
Dear friends
I need your help in understanding the rope that moves from the winch to the anchors on one side and on the other side to the belly of the ship.
I saw in Maarten's blog that one end goes down to the lowest deck and is placed in a snail shape and the other end is placed along the middle deck (The plan lacks a detailed reference to where the ends of the rope are located).
I would appreciate it if Maarten or any other member could explain the installation route of the rope.
In fact, we are talking about two parallel ropes for each anchor and which go down from the winch to two holes to the belly of the ship, where one is placed in the middle deck and the other in the lower one in the form of a snail?
Any explanation, photos and drawings are most welcome.
I ask this to plan when to lay the rope as the later it may be more complex.
Thank you

Beautiful Shota, too bad that by completing more and more of the deck structure so many fine details become more or less obscured.

Thank you very much dear friend to the warm heavens!
I'm considering incorporating LED lighting to highlight the details and that's also why I made the openings in the side of the ship
 
Hello dear friends
In the last few days I continue to work on the infrastructure for the upper deck: preparing the beams, the kringels and the knees (horizontal and balanced) that together formed the upper deck in the area above the warehouses/center of the deck.
This step, similar to its predecessors, requires before installation a constant check that the beams are installed at the exact intervals and in a parallel manner.
For example: I installed the beams 87-88 together with the kringles above the storage of the sails, in order to make sure that they are laid parallel and with the exact spacing.
I am attaching pictures for your impression, good night to all of us:cool::)
