The 1787 Obusier for the Forecastle and the Poopdeck.
Just tried to compare your design with available photo of original Obusier - You made a very good design !!!! all details included -> Great work my friend
Thank you Uwe. The rebuild was good to understand as well the detailed functions of some parts. Now it will be funny to locate the correct positions.
Arrieved a tiny little new toy. I bought this one for the project to save my proxxon thicknesser. There will be a lot of wood to handle

Oliver, this is from a very good tool manufacturer, I even have a couple of machines from them, I wish you good luck with your new machine.
Question, since you are from Germany, maybe you know of this machine that has a German dealer but made in China. Gude GAHD 200
There is a video about the machine on You tube, but it is in German, you can probably understand what the man is talking about.
This is something I strongly consider buying to make materials from larger and thicker pieces of wood for future projects (Le Gros Ventre 1-36).
Regards Knut-

Hi Knut, @Norway
from my point of experience..... only my point ! This Combimachines in this range of price aren´t a good deal. You get what you paid for ! Remember this !
I have tested any surfaceplaner and the problem is here the attachement on the side. Every on that i have checked was weak. If you need to work with big block like you can view on the upper pictures you will get a ugly result. You can ask 10 person and you will get 10 different opinions. Everybody as well has a different "feeling" for quality, good and bad result. For me this machines are useless. If you need a surfaceplaner its better you go to a professional woodworker, pay a little bit an drive home with a smile on your face. I did it last week with my blocks. One tip can i give you. If you buy wood in block, buy it planed ! Keep your eyes on this, it avoid a lot of trouble.
The thickness planer is a other game. Here you can buy a chaeper one for the rough works. One of my favorites was as well the Triton
Triton
But i have always Uwe on my mind. "Buy the better one, you will work so many years with it" . He´s right. The Gap was 250 Euros between the Triton an the Makita.
Its money, but.... so what, i am a modeller.. I use every tool in my shop.
You can watch the most videos on YT with a translation ! Check this, its very helpful.

First testframe to test the workaround to building the other 62 frames. The beast is a monster. I found a lot of problems in handle this beast in my shipyard. A lot of machines are undersized for this typ of size. It will be very funny

Oliver, thanks for your recommendation, now I want to take other alternatives, maybe I do like you, a planer and a local carpenter's workshop,
BDW, very clear scale difference in the picture, it looks like this is going to be a very large model, regards-

Designfreeze for the Hull. So far so good....
Great investment in this nice tool.
And I am very happy, that you started to make sawdust (a lot) on your model - I wish you a lot of fun

Thank you, Uwe. The quantity of wood for this project is a little bit different.
I hope for your gras, that you have a "Laubsauger" - a vac for the leafs
I think in the future i will work with an aspiration as well in the garden. I´ve got a lot of trouble with the queen of the house because the dust on the garden furniture. My Unkraut will also be very happy.
For the new project i need some additional tools. Arrieved today my 2-axis vice and a Zyclon for my aspirationsystem.
Now we can see two very interesting facts.
1) You have a helper in your workshop - lucky you - or is she the master shipwright?
2) and you made already several frames .....

1.) Seems more master shipwright. Occupied a lot of space on my workbench with her stuffed animals and need to use my tools.
2.) What ? Where ..... Hä ?
