I have no idea, mon ami, you speak Hebrew!

Shota speaks English much better than I do, so it wasn't a problem and Google helped us a few times too.

These were the most enjoyable moments of meeting dear friends like you

It really was a wonderful weekend and our friendship deepened. I promise you one thing, I will visit you in your home country sometime.

I wish for this day when I can host you in my country, it will be my honor
The invitation is valid for all my good friends from our amazing forum

That’s the beauty of ‘Over the Years Projects’, Tobias. Don’t hurry, quality need time.
Regards, Peter

Happy 3rd Anniversary, mon ami!

 

[dockattner]

Happy birthday little one. As long as you're doing home renovations you might as well build a room to display all the projects you have going when they are completed .

Thanks for all the help and inspiration during 2024! Happy new year!

Good morning dear colleagues,

even though I don't have much time at the moment, I have started working on Le Rochefort again. Determining the waterline, here I have found that there is a difference of about 6mm between the stern and the bow. This means that Le Rochefort is a little lower with the stern. I marked the measurements and simulated the waterline with the help of a laser and transferred it to the model. The reason for this is that the planks from the hull to the waterline are black and I don't want to paint them, so I am making them out of black hornbeam. Since I have never done this before, it is completely new territory for me, we will see if it works.

Hello Frank,
I don't quite understand your question? I can only say that I am working according to Gerard's plans and monograph and have determined the exact measurements from there.






Here are just a few pictures of the plans. If you enlarge it you can see a dotted line which also corresponds to the plan of the individual frames.

Hello everyone,

today I didn't feel like working on the construction site on the ground floor and hid in my workshop. Some time ago I had prepared various parts which I attached today.










For the two parts I used 2mm thick ebony and 2mm boxwood. I glued the boxwood decoration to a board with double-sided adhesive tape and carefully milled it with the milling machine. Then I reworked it a bit with the Dremel. In the next step it was carefully removed and placed upside down on the board and milled off. Finally I sanded down the decor with sandpaper until only the edge was left.

The ebony base was made from three parts. Both were glued together and after drying, the thin boxwood decoration was cleaned of any residue and polished with steel wool. In the next step, the ebony was also fixed to my board and milled down so that I got a total thickness of 1.25mm.



Attaching the floorboards, the trim strip between the transom and the black floorboards is currently drying. That will be done in the next update.

Great looking detail. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Tobias]

Good morning and thank you all for being back on board with my build report.

I made a mistake, I had it in the back of my mind the whole time and then forgot about it. This little detail is not shown in any build report (French forum), only in a single small reference. So I checked with Gerard again and he confirmed it for me, two planks protrude in the transition to the lower rear section. We can see it in three plans. Here are the plans to show what I mean.







Anyway, I took the two planks off and put new ones in. As it is, you can see that something has been repaired here, I tried to repair it as best as I could.





See you soon dear friends.
