Hello,
thanks for the nice comments.
Continuation: For topsail yard - studding sail boom iron
In the meantime I also made the outer studding sail boom irons for the fore topsail yard. Like the inner irons, they were made of brass strips with a width of 1.3 mm and a thickness of 0.25 mm. For brazing with a silver brazing paste I fix the pre-prepared parts on a ceramic plate, as already shown several times.
With the following picture I show how the assembly of the inner studding sail boom irons is done. The brass wire ø 0.4 mm, which still has to be shortened, takes over the function of a safety pin.
The next picture shows the outer iron of the fore topsail yard. The end of the yardarm is square with dimensions 2.2 / 2.2 mm.
In order to be able to carry out the assembly and rigging work on the yards comfortably, I made myself this holding device.
And finally, an overview of the construction status of the fore topsail yard, with the studding sail booms, which in the meantime has each received a hole at the octagonal end. At the outer end, a notch has been added for fastening the blocks.
The next step is the studding sail boom irons for the main topsail yard, the dimensions of which are somewhat larger.
To be continued ...

Hello friends of modeling,
thank you very much for your interest and for the praising comments. It is always a pleasure when there is interest in our work.
Continuation: Main topsail yard - studding sail boom iron - Cercle de bout-dehors de vergue
I continued with the studding sail boom irons for the main topsail yard. Since I had thoughtlessly started to make the rings, I forgot to make the bulge for the rollers. Since these rings were already soldered, I tried to solder on this bulge, which then also worked quite well and the even result became more precise.
As they say: the proof of the pudding is in the eating ...
The following picture shows the rings with the parts to be soldered on.
Here on this picture you can see my " soldering station ".
On the ceramic hole plate you can fix the parts to be soldered quite well.
The jeweler's saw is then used to remove the segments of the rings that are not necessary.
The next picture shows the drilling of the roller bearings with a 0.5 mm drill.
In the picture, all studding sail boom iron for the main topsail yard are united before blacking. The inside diameters of the spar hangers for the fore topsail yard are 2.7 mm, while those for the main topsail yard are 3.2 mm.
For blackening, I still use Brass Black, as I have had very good experiences with this agent. I coat the parts with a brush until they get the desired coloration. This proven method of working allows me to use the agent very sparingly.
The last two pictures show the studding sail boom irons already mounted to the main topsail yard.
Next, I make the irons for the fore yard. At the same time, I'm researching other equipment for the yards, such as attachment of the footropes, jackstays - yes or no, and so on.
See you soon ...

I am speechless……. Unbelievable what you make, Johann. My respect!
Regards, Peter.
Hello Johann, an absolute WOW effect. I am floored by this absolutely accurate work and was secretly looking forward to these great pictures, because they play your whole build from the beginning. Great admiration.

I don't think you please him. When this image is true, it looks like we got here a re-do.

Thanks for that, but I just wanted to point out that I already knew it.
All good!
