Week 77: Binnacle, chains (Feb 2 - 16, 2014)

More chains. Cranked out another 12 chains and glued/screwed them in place. It gets faster the more you make. I'll need to do some detail touchups later, but good for now. Next step will be connecting the other blocks with line and start on the standing rigging.

20 chains done. Touchups will come later.

Now to connect the other blocks with line and start the standing rigging.

Compass. About fifteen years ago my wife won a "Berber Woman" makeup kit while we were visiting Morocco on a cruise. One of its wooden components ended up being modified to be the Theresa Marie's binnacle.

15 year old Berber Woman painting kit from Morocco.

Now it's the ship's binnacle.

With a tiny little compass inside.
