Category: MS Tordino

18th September 2021 – I made two benches for outside Tordino. They are far from finished, but I was already happy my machine got through the wood. 

15th September 2021 – Probably one the earliest pictures taken in the morning. I certainly want to add some more light to the Stern as well as to Tordino.

12th September 2021 – We had 181 people visiting the ship today. I didn’t make that much publicity since people had to book. I’m extremely happy with the result!

11th September 2021 – We were open for a select group of members from Herita. There was  a guided tour aboard Tordino, the vessels in front of me and to finish, we ended up in ‘t Spaans Tolhuis were some fol music was played.

9th September 2021–  Normally I don’t allow visitors alongside and certainly not a rental boat. I made an exception, we had a nice chat and everyone happy!

8th September 2021 – Two small jobs done today. I finished the little table for my living room. It was an old table I cut up and shortened so it fits for my chess board. 

In the afternoon, I mounted the mast I bought a few weeks ago. It is looking fine. Let’s see if it holds.  It was to warm to work so I gave up working and went looking for some shadow underneath some threes. 

4th September 2021 – The models are now nicely visible behind glass. So no dust nor damage can be done to the models. 

3rd September 2021 – The glass was mounted and the models are now visible to the public. The plan to build the wall was for October but since I had the models and moving them was to fragile, it was build in two days. I’m happy with the result.

I still have a nice wooden mast on top of my van. I made a metal support and will bolt this next to my ship for Open Monumentendag.

1st September 2021 – I had to cut a little piece of the frame so the glass could fit. Now that the woodwork is done, my mother could start painting the whole area. Late in the evening, I already mounted a few models.

31st August 2021 – I removed the big model of the ship’s elevator of Thuin. I want to rebuild the entrance (again) with ships models I recently bought. Therefore I bought some glass, wood and I just started the job. Surprisingly most was done by the end of the evening.

27th August 2021 – I received a large number of ship models from sailing and navy ships. They are not suited for the museum since it has no relation to inland vessels. I can’t keep them in open air and ordering a glass cover for each of them is to expensive and not realistic.  I started rebuilding my living room, not sure yet where to put the other ones….

26th August 2021 – I had another group of visitors coming for team building activity.
