A cloathing pin in a vice does the trick for me. Put the rope around the block, and put in the pin, such that the rope is held in place. Tie theknot, put someglue onit, and you're ready for the next. It even works with blocks that are smaller. Jan

On a dutch forumsomeone has been experimenti g with this method. It took himsome time to get it right. Planking always runsfair, however, getting your hullinto shape is not without problems. Shell first was not used anymore in the lqte 17th century when ships like utrecht were build. By that time the shipwrights used drawings and plans to be able todeliver what was actually ordered. Jan

My guess would be that thickness is completely determined by the carpenter, while length and width are determined by the tree. therefore, i think the deck was quite even in this respect. At least, that is what you see in eg wasa. Jan

Looks nice. One question: what kind of heavy beam is it you attached to the stern, just below the upper stern? Jan
-
The remaining question is: how do you simulate screws in such a way that they look better than real ones? Jan

Hi Herbert, Per haps Chuck does understand, but I don't.... Do you mean that there shouldn't be three holes every second face, but alternating one and two holes? Chuck's setup matches this one from the NMM-collections. Jan

Which btw is correctly mentioned in the German text to the picture. Low-board gunbopats are not realyy fitted for large open waters. Germany has not a very long coastline. So, where were these ships stationed? , Nord- und Ostsee? Jan
