I placed the planking of the bottom of the transom, must, I think, before tightening the belts.

Thank you!!!.......
In order to block the stern oar in a more stable manner, on the excesses of the oarlocks I have tentatively set a provisional "crowning glory" that I will take away when I have completed the transom

Thank you, friends!
Slowly the work going on, I started the construction of the transom: of course is yet to block and finish, especially the two stern oar that for security (or insecurity) I made them abundant

After breathing a sigh of relief noting that the keel has remained perfectly straight, I started the hard work of balancing the exterior of the structure; to do this I'm using the scrapers that, once sharp, working a beauty! Throughout the morning for half of the hull and is not finished yet, in return, my left arm began to creak ..........

Laying of fills.
After attaching all the fills of the upper parts, I had to remove the template of the site in order to place some fills even deeper arriving well beyond the waterline

I then embarked on a jogger on the shores of the bow: I must say that I was quite surprised because there is not much to equalize!
I used some self-built tools but the work is much better with the scraper, in particular, I used the curvilinear;
In the picture you can see the treated part, darker;
the test with a strip has confirmed that so far seems to have done a good job!
I started to enclose the ship in the upper part of the oarlocks.
Perhaps the method I used is not exactly orthodox, but it is really effective and clean and the whole thing is tight.

I glued the series of spacers in the middle between the butts of the floor frame and the floor frame means

I started to fix the double ribs to the keel permanently.
I wanted, for convenience, to starting with the masters quarters and then join with those already established at bow and stern.
For greater security gluing I used the double coasts of steel nails nailing the madiere the keel after having done a 1mm hole in the center.
After checking the squareness of the coasts, I fixed the spacers on the size of mesh on the template of the site helping with rubber bands (made from under the template) to adhere the coasts of the template itself.
I have to say that already so the coasts do not move except in the upper parts of the oarlocks, but this will solve when I put the studs.
For the moment I want to fix all the coasts, then I will proceed with the keys at the heads of the floor plates.

Sorry for my english: I use google translator.........
Implementation of the oarlocks of the hip: work very mangy, angle of cut must be very precise in order to avoid false inclinations of the same.
I also decided to bolt with square ankles from 1x1mm walnut.

Hi all
so 8 and a half months later... ho hum here's an update...
To be fair to myself... we have moved house. Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
One big plus side to the house (apart from being bigger and detached and closer to preschools, schools, etc, yes I know very minor items ) is that is has a garage, And part of that has been converted into a dockyard!! Woohoo! It's so good to have a dedicated area for model building. I also had the fun of building my own work bench (just in case you can't tell from the photos...) using slats of a bed we didnt need anymore and an kitchen worktop.
Anyhoo enough talking from me. Here's a few photos. Yes not much of an update (only an extra line of planks) but I don't care it's an update!!
It's good to be building again
Thanks for looking in. Hopefully the next update won't take another 8 months!

It makes a lot of sense, Nigel. It sounds like you've put a fair amount of thought into this so it should work. As much as I love the color and texture of ebony, it sure is a pain to work with though.

Wonderfully clean work Bob I don't know about the slow progress,the way you are going,you will have several completed builds under your belt before I have finished one
