  7. Ondras, interesting info is on these 2 pdf files. And there is a detailed drawing of a carriage with 3 wheels. https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen._A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark http://nautarch.tamu.edu/Theses/pdf-files/Hoskins-MA2004.pdf "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17.

  11. Thank you everyone for the nice comments. (Carl, I'm not a fan of football. I also like peace and quiet). I have added some bolts in the upper wales. Bolts that remain visible on the inside are also fitted. So that it looks that these bolts run through the frame and the wale. And i have become the proud owner of some interesting books. First I will read and study before I continue to build
