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

Frame construction of the rear windows:

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_08-41-41-0500PM.jpeg

Step 1:
Make a template, in my case I used a slightly firmer cardboard. I cut this until it fits.

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_07-33-44-0500PM.jpeg

Step 2:
On the cardboard, I mark the upper edge on the inside with an arrow and stick double-sided tape on both sides.

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_07-38-43-9630PM.jpeg

3rd step:
Here I make 6 small strips 1x1mm with a slight overhang.

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_07-42-36-3990PM.jpeg

Step 4:
Glue the two outer strips on. The advantage of the window frames is that they are not mitred. Then I adjust the upper and lower strips and fix them with superglue. Let the whole thing dry a little and very carefully remove it from the template (if it breaks, do it again straight away).

Step 5:
Now for the center cross, place a small piece of double-sided tape on the vice of the MF70 and mill it halfway.

Step 6:
Now place the two struts next to the window, adjust them to the shape of the window and glue them.

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_08-29-27-4900PM.jpeg

Step 7:
Once the cross has dried, align it on the frame and mark it. Fasten the frame back onto the vice with double-sided tape and mill the marked frame.

eZy Watermark_23-07-2024_08-49-10-7650PM.jpeg

Last step:
Carefully remove the frame again and place the cross in the joints and then mark the inside of the cross on the frame. The cross is also fixed to the vice again with double-sided adhesive tape and the ends are milled. Now glue the cross and the frame together, sand off the excess, clean everything and you're done.

I hope I was able to explain it clearly. If something is unclear, just ask.

Magnificent, I understood it perfectly. Good explanation and good work.

A instructive manual for cutting and milling ‘not squared windows’, Tobias. Whit a nice outcome.:)

Good evening everyone, what follows is the expansion of the interior, i.e. the small bed and the cupboard.

Thank you @Mirek @pianoforte @Adry @Peter Voogt for your nice comment and all the likes you received as well as for your interest.

Good morning Tobias. Everything you build is so immaculate. Your joinery, wood finish and colour is admired. Cheers Grant
 
Every day I learn something new here in this forum
great work on the window frame and a nice comfortable bed you made.
So the captain has problem to enter his room, but when he is inside it is like a 4* hotel ;)

Next I made the rudder, intended as a prototype from two different types of wood, walnut and pear, to see how it looks, but I might leave it. The main thing is the upper rudder passage in the aft deck. Two longitudinal beams with dovetails have to be installed here and an oval opening has to be filed. For this reason I built the rudder to see how everything fits.

Like everything in the rear, nothing has been glued yet because the next step is to install the windows. For this, the hinges and the side locks still had to be made. The hinges for the small cupboard door were also on the agenda.

The plan is that everything is movable, and the plan worked for the small cupboard door. I hope it works for the windows too. Since a window like this also has glass panes, these cannot be missing. Here I am using "Micro Crystal Klear" and I am attaching a picture of the product.

Last but not least, the hatch for the cargo area in the rear area, various brass parts are still missing and the second window and parts of the interior fittings, then the rear area will be finished. I hope I can get it done before our big vacation in Croatia.
