The main capstan

Using the same old walnut veneer and accordind the plans  E 10 / 1-3   of the Anatomy of the Ship , I made the main capstan  of the ship .

Finally I made 54 pieces from walnut venneer and copper.

The binnacle

Using the same old walnut veneer and accordind the plan E 13 / 5 of the Anatomy of the Ship , I made the binnacle of the ship .

For the windows of  binnacle , I used small glasses from microscope . I made the chimney from brass on lathe machine .

I left the back side of the binnacle's open , because I want to make the compass and the  lamp later .

In the next step I will have to start the construction of the main capstan . I think this is the most difficult and complicated part of the model .

The steering wheel

I found 30 years old walnut veneer , in my spare box and I decided  that I could use it for

 the steering wheel of the ship.So I joined two sheets of veneer and I cut the appropriate shape, according to the plan.

                                                   

 On the next step , using walnut's dowels 2 mm thickness I made the spokes.

              

After that, I had to make holes and put in the proper angle spokes and handles of the steering wheel .

                                               

     

Tomorrow I will try to create the twin part of the steering wheel , the drum and the bracket.....

                                      

                                             

On the next step I will create the wheel's pillar...

... the pillar is ready. I made it from walnut , the front piece was made from four pieces  and the back from two.
Finally oil was applied on all surfaces.

On the next step , I will create the binnacle....
