Hello Richard, the planks are glued together. I used white watersolvent wood glue. So I could make later easier corrections. What I had to due more often. The clinker nails are only pencil marks. -
Thank you Chris, I hope that you are right. At noon I was't so sure. 😏

Hello, and thank you for all the likes. The two bulkheads at the bow and stern cost me a lot of nerves. You have nothing to lean on. It's all free floating. But now it's done. Here the one at the bow. And here the one at the stern. This one was a lot more complicated, because it has to hold also the rudder. When I dryfitted them, they fit all perfect. But when you get a little glue on them, nothing fits. 😐 So all out and try again. The lower parts you would't see later, so I'm here a little more generous with the seat. And here the carpenters from the Tiger have a look what I'm doing so all the day

Hello, there is not so much happend here. I draw the nails also from the inside of the hull and glued the cleats in, for those frames you may see later. They are 0,6 by 0,8 mm and 3.5 mm long

Thank you John

Thank you Keith

Hello, the gun wales are ready. Also the Tingl and the two Rongs at the stem and stern. That was't an easy job, but now it's done. These battens with slits are carved to the gun wales. For the middle part of the gun wales they where later nailed under these, between the frames. At the SB side, behind the rudder, they where omitted. They where used to fasten the shields, or the tent.

Hello, and thank you for your comments and likes. Today I build the middle parts of the gun wales and installed them. The fore and aft parts are more complicated. So I hope they follow over the weekend.

Thank you Keith, I think so. But first I must be ready, and that will take some more time.

Hello, and thank you for all the likes, and yes I'm guilty. I was't at the shipyard last week. We had here the finest spring weather, with sunshine and temperatures up to 24°C in the sun! 😊 But yesterday the weather changed, and I finished planking with the last two strakes. They are at least only 0,4 mm thick! So as next I will install the gun-wale. I started with this project last November and planking mid January. At the next picture you see the rocked keel. I reality the keel was in the middle 30 cm lower then at his outer ends.

Hello, thank you for all the likes and comments. For today only a short update. I finished the collecting planks for the starbord side. This pice, with the rudder support, was a little tricky. So I build it twice and nead now a medical plaster for my left index finger! But it is't soo bad. And here it is installed

Hello and many thanks for your likes and comments the next two strakes are ready. Now there are only two others left. The uper plank here is the rodrarhufr plank. In this plank later come the holes for the oars. She is a little thicker, 0,65mm. And here you see also the thick fingers, who build this all 😁

Hello, last week we had here a lot of sunshine, so I was't realy often at the shipyard. But at least I managed to finished two other strakes. Only 4 left Now it starts to look more like a ship then a raft.
-
Hello, and many, many thanks for your comments and likes Today I finished the Meginhufr. All other planks for now are 0,5mm thick ( 25mm ),the meginhufr is 0,8mm thick (40mm in real) And for cure over night, a corset. That is a bicycle tires and a sandbag

Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes Life was against working at the shipyard most of the week, but now I have all collecting planks ready. I started also with planking the meginhufr. I hope to finish the strake tomorrow. Here are some of the parts, who did't it ☹️

Hello, and thank you for all the likes and nice comments today I finshed the first of 4 collecting planks. I don't know how they where corectly named.

Thank you

Hello, thank you Keith, and all others thank you for your likes. Yesterday I finised the planking of the "floor". The next plank is the Meginhufr, a strong plank like the wales. When the most planks have a thickness of 0,5mm, this one is 0,8mm thick. From now on, it goes upwarts. In this case downwards! The next four planks have a collecting piece (?) to the stems. That would be the next challenge. But now the pictures from the last two strakes.
-
Hello, two more strakes are ready. Now I have 7 ready, two more and I can start working upwards. First I cleaned the inside this morning. But after that, the ship went back at the plug
-
You are right, Keith. The wood would darken over the time from alone. And it's more naturly.

Good morning, many thanks for the likes and nice comments. Håkan, that is only one scraper, and he is a little too wide. Half an millimeter would be better, but this is the smallest one I could build. But it dominate the planking a lot as I saw at the last pictures. In nature it's not so much. Christensen measured these profiles, and it were 1600 m at all. Lukily they used at the Gokstad ship only one form. These were at least a little more complicated then the one I build. At the Oseberg ship they used 7 different molds! At the picture you see also my test planking, now oiled. I don't know if I shoulld stain the oil a little.
-
Hello, and thank you for all the likes and comments. And before my green kale gets ready, a small update. Yesterday I finished the 5th strake. This morning I took the ship from the plug, to eliminate the glue remains from the inside. It was't so bad as I first exspected.
-
Hello, the fourth strake is ready. That is at least more work then I had expected. To show you the dimentions, a picture with a ruler.
-
Hello, today I finished the 3. plank. The two parts up the stems are the most complicated parts. That part in the middle is ,at the moment, not so complicated. But this time I tried to bend the plankt before, and it's working. I just wetted the plank a little, fixed it, and then grilled it with my heating pistol. 😉 But also this part I glued on in two parts. And these are the new planks, only 13 left per side. So, if you hear the next time not so much from me, I'm bussy planking.

I hope so, Keith
