Hello Zoltan.
Missing your build.

Don't tell me those pirates of yours have stopped work to enjoy their favourite pastime _ villainous activities.
I recommend you do what Cortez had done...

Hello Peter,this weekend I will work on the barbeque ;)
 
Thanks Maarten for looking in and your nice comment,I might need to find some reference photos for a real size of ropewalk and blacksmith tools ,not sure 15-16 century tools??
Hi Zoly, man sawing planks, working with axes to cut knees, a blacksmiths fire with a BBQ for Swabby.
People with buckets of tar for sealing the hull, a rope walk for making ropes etc.

G'day Zoly
This video might be useful for you when you do the bar-b-quest for Peter and the blacksmith's fire.
My wife bought a set of battery operated candles today the the flame effects are absolutely brilliant and so real looking.
This video doesn't do it justice.

I am sure Zoltan is an intelligent man and has it all worked out.
So, we may not need to steel his thunder, but it is hard not to do so if his busy life delays his building efforts.
The trouble for all of us, as model builders, is knowing how to create a thumbtack for ourselves.

Blessed is he who sits on a thumbtack, for surely he will rise again! :D
 
Wow.
Luckily they only hoisted the anchor to stand up.
My first thought was that if they tried to hoist the anchor off the ground, the winch would either break or pulled out of the ground. But I might be wrong about that. I know it's only an illustration, but I wonder what the person on the ladder is doing to the anchor which cannot be done on the ground.
 
Every group of workers needs a supervisor or engineer. He do not know what or how to do, so he is climbing on the ladder......looks important, and the workers do not see exactly, which important things the supervisor / engineer has to do there on the ladder. These are the principles on a construction site.......BTW: I am civil eng, so I know the principles best ;)

Thanks Uwek for reminding me that I am only a swabbie ;).
But that ought not restrict me from asking questions, unless the engineer, who does not know the answer, fears losing his job to a swabbie :D.

He is probably checking the linkages and joints for cracks, etc., after numerous anchor raises and drops to the ground.

I was thinking the same thing Peter. It would be a lot safer to check it on the ground, especially there's no one to hold the ladder to keep it from toppling sideways as he is stretching. Very poor safety measures are being shown.
Havagoodone all
