Le Coureur

Looking good - I guess you will make the nails close to the gunports when you have the final size of the gunport, or?

 

[Tobias]

Right How, the hook bolts of the guns are still to come.

 

[Tobias]

The port side is also finished and I continued with the railing.

Right How, the hook bolts of the guns are still to come.

Yes - you will need both - the nails for the planking and the bolts for the hooks

Hello everyone, thanks again for your likes and comments. I'll put in a little freeze. At the moment I'm renovating the last basement room that will become my new shipyard. Everything has to be redone, floor, walls, electrics, lighting and the furniture so there is a lot to do. See you.

Good luck with your renovation. you've got your work cut out for you.

 

[Tobias]

Hi guys, yes I will probably be busy for a few days. Cleared out yesterday and removed the loose plaster in the floor area (water damage about 30 years ago). Apply some plaster and paint the walls and it looks a little friendlier.

Suction and electrical supply is in place and wired in the fuse box of the house electrical system.

 

[Jimsky]

Nice exhaust system, Tobi!! It is serious planning.

 

[Uwek]

GReat news with your new shipyard - and you are able to organize the working place(s) according your needs.
Keep us informed - we are also interested in the shipyard......
Crossing all fingers for a successful renovation

Good evening everyone, @Jimsky yes, proper planning is important, but when everything is ready and in use you quickly notice that one or the other could have been done better or differently. Today I finished the rest of the electrics and laid the floor, connected ceiling lights and now it's time for the day. The furniture construction starts tomorrow. A U-shape is planned with a work surface with a height of 1100mm and a length of 3700mm, the rest is 900mm. A magnetic board, etc.

 

[Uwek]

WOW - you are very fast in the preparation - I guess your weekend will be not boring

 

[Tobias]

A small milestone has been reached. Sunday evening and the work surface is set.

 

[Jimsky]

Your workspace is the dream...to me! The question is, why is one side higher than others? I am sure it was a purpose when you planning, but why?

 

[Tobias]

Hi Jim, that's a good question. I try to put my thoughts into words. The higher work surface is 1.1 meters and is intended to serve as a planning and construction area, 1.1 m for the reason of being able to work while standing, which is easy on the back. The other height is still 0.95 m and will be a kind of desk, the narrower side is the machine area, where my small milling machine can be found and later the second, slightly larger one. The lathe is placed on the far right in order to have a better view of the working tools, the lower height. I hope I was able to explain it clearly.

 

[Uwek]

It is looking like a well organized workshop - very good progress
I guess you will make some additional lights over the tables - so not having the shaddow by yourself (in moment you have "only" lights in the center of the room)
BTW: I realized, that you already changed your avatar !!! You have now the Egyptienne - it is also one dream by myself to make her in scratch ........

 

[Tobias]

Hello Uwe, you are absolutely right about the lighting, only the basic lighting is important for the working area in the middle. There will be a working table (movable). As for L'Egyptinne, this will have to wait a few more years because after Le Coureur, L'Amarante will be tackled first.

 

[Maarten]

Hi Tobias, your new workshop looks perfect. The pipe for the vacuum system is an excellent idea, think I will take that one and use it for my own workshop. Allways have small proxxon machines on the table using this 32 mm connection and this is the perfect solution, plug and play.

 

[Tobias]

Good evening everyone, what's new from the shipyard, a little progress can be seen.

 

[Jimsky]

more and more I like your cozy shipyard.
