LE ROCHEFORT - Harbour yacht from 1787 1:36 by Tobias (Monograph by ANCRE)

[Tobias]

The first attempt: Frame 15 has been fitted with the brass bolts and the first keys have been set.

Hello Tobias,
Wonderful work! I really like your precise work.
I‘m also starting builduing the Le Rochefort and I will use your post as instruction.

Hi @carpi1968 , I'm glad if you like my building of Le Rochefort, thanks for your attention. You can post your building log here in group building at any time. Don't be shy, we are all beginners with some experience.

You've been doing a lot of work the last few days, Tobias. Beautiful connections on the keelson. And beautiful details with those square brass bolts.
Regard, Peter

Hi Tobias,
where do you use the blackened glue? Only for the keel? Because your frames do not look like you used it.
Do you make the complete bevel for your frames with the card scraper (Ziehklinge) or do you first sand it and only do the last finish with the card scraper? This would mainly be different for the frames close to the stem and stern.
And my last question. What is the diameter of your square bolts you are using for the nails?

Thanks Peter for your feedback, much appreciated.

carpi to your questions: I only showed the black caulking on the keel, i.e. only where the water has direct contact with the wood. This is not the case on the frames, this caulking is not absolutely necessary for display, it is a matter of taste. I only worked with the scraper on the middle frames approx. 7-21, the rest with the grinder. The brass bolts are 0.6mm thick, a bit too big, but the thinnest thickness that has a square.

This morning after breakfast, grandma and our grandson came to my workshop. What can I say what they made, see for yourself.

Pirates are coming! All hands on board!! HurrryUP! Lovely photo, mon ami. When my younger granddaughter visited my shipyard, I hardly can find the parts. They are all stored in her toy basket.

When my oldest grandson visits he always says, “Ethan builds a boat”. This stops all work on my ship and we make something together. He’s only just turned three this month but I’m doing my part to encourage the next generation . Beautiful family Tobi!

The first frame is in place, it will be a long way before all frame are done.

Christian take your time, yesterday and today I continued to build a little on La Palme.

Looks great Tobias. I'm not putting in nearly as many frame bolts. Only where my joints are they get a bolt on each side, round bolts.

Hi Tony first of all thanks, the bolts are square and are only shown on the open port side.

Such beautiful, clean, neat work Tobias. I need to sit down and read through your inspiring log, there is much for me to learn.
