Time to start the rigging. Attached the mast. Worked on the shrouds by serving them, long and tedious process 🤪 then fasten the deadeyes. Finalized attaching on side.

Great recommendation. There are also a lot of French sites with a lot of pictures.

Fairly straightforward process. It just takes forever as I need to wait at least 30 minutes to let the wood glue to set. Made a key to help with the wing nuts. 😊 Here is the result after a few hours. In between glue sessions, I will be working on rigging my other projects.

Starting to work on the frame preparation. I need to ensure that they all have the same thickness. The plans show a thickness of about 5.6mm so I am making each side 2.8mm. I know that I will have to make micro sanding adjustments here and there..

Yes, you are right. It would not be as thin in a real ship. I thought about it last night and I decided not to redo it for now since it will likely be cover by a frame. Dilemma!

Last night I worked on the Deadwood. Here is the result. There will be some slight adjustments and micro sanding sessions. The joints are pretty tight and will be tighten when it glue them up.

I am not planning on fully planking her. So it sounds like making it simpler. I am just curious to see if some rules existed for this section.

Question. The hahn plans do not have details on the Deadwood section. What pattern should I use a ship of this type? I inspired myself from the practicum for the hms warrior by Romero. Here is what I came up with. Too complicated for this ship?

Finished the keel and keelson. I am sure I will need to make some adjustments as the build moves forward. A small bandsaw is very useful and much faster than a scrollsaw. Quick and dirty zero clearance surface. 😊 Spindler sander to clean up. Here is the finished product. Holding the parts to prevent any wrapping. Deadwood and stern post are next.

Worked on the stem for the past few days.  The jig saw session was pretty straight forward but working to sand each piece was very tedious and mistakes were made. See the result... 🤔 It was quite a learning curve. My first version was a complete bust. Lesson learned : sand to the line and leave it. Version 2 was much better and accurate. 😊 I was able to borrow a sherline mill. OMG was an awesome tool. Working on the keel now...

Painting done. I am waiting for the paint to cure before putting one or two coats of vernis.

Completed the mast and gaffs construction. Next steps will be finalizing any sanding touches, staining and painting.
-
Dead-eyes and chain plates in position. I will be starting masts either tomorrow or the day after.

Working on the rudder continues... A liitte soldering and voilà! I still have to touch up the paint which was a little bit damaged in the process. 😕
