Thanks Mark. I just made four different size frame blanks to fit the different frames one for the floor side and one for the other. Im not sure even that was necessary. I’ll glue them together and cut them out that way. The joints are close on some to where they should be and not close on others. I understand that with the Hahn method we’re not trying to match the plan’s joints. We’re just trying to make frames out of multiple pieces as in the real ones. I’m new to this like you ! You too, have a great holiday ! Tony -
Managed to get the frame blanks glued up. Next to cut them all out.
-
Making progress. Frame blanks are cut and sanded. I’ll be putting those together shortly.
-
Very nice. She’s going to be big. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Tony

Milling progress. Going slow and steady. Made a few new parts for the bow and stern as the ones I made just weren’t right.
-
Thanks Mark yes indeed. If I can build just moderately close to your accuracy and fitment Ill be a happy camper. Its going to be slow going because like you there will be many parts that will get made several times to get them right. Your photos are so good they explain a lot that the plan and Adrian's book don't. Your build is priceless for reference.

The past two days work. Made two wing transoms one from one piece of cherry one from 2 pcs of beech. During the forming process I ended up just going too thin for it liking. Made another today thicker and also made the other transom pieces. The plan is to mill the keelson and rising wood and get the axial structure all cut and fit. Then move into the frames since I gave my lumber now.

This is my second POF project. I also did a Blandford section last year. This is quite a project I see already. I’m still at the beginning stages. I’m going to use the Hahn method (attempt it anyway) but just for the frames. I’ll build the hull in the normal shipyard style. Progress so far. Keel bow and stern axial timbers and made and fitted. I’m waiting for my frame wood before I mill out the rising wood and continue. I’m working in the stern timbers now. I’ve been following Mark’s “No Idea’s” build since he started. I don’t expect to get near that quality but in the end I’ll still have a model I can be proud of.

Le Rochefort POF scratch.

Beautiful clean work. Congrats

Congrats, nothing better than grandkids !

Beautiful clean work indeed.
-
Mark, we've been following your excellent work all this time. You must rig it if only to keep your followers happy !
-
So clean ! That interior planking and other work makes me say that 1/24 would be easier no doubt. Those clamps just have a block on the other side ? I’m going to make a few.
-
Yes each has its benefits and drawbacks.
-
So great to see an update ! I'm still up in the air if I should start mine soon or not. Still have to buy the lumber. You were wise to go to 1/24 I think. more material but easier of handling of the parts I'd say. I hope this log stays forever cuz Ill need it for every step. There isn't very many Rochefort scratch builds out there in cyber land.
-
Just beautiful work !
-
Ok yes, big, very impressive. You're doing clean beautiful work. Kudos
-
Looks great Mark. What's the reason for the two different nails. some black some white ! How long is she in 1/24 ?
-
Thanks , I doubt I can spend that much $$. The Micro Mark is a clone of the larger Proxxon so I think, hope it'll do the job. I have the smaller Proxxon and its pretty poor. I managed to struggle through my section build but the time wasted just trying to cut material is huge !
-
Looking great Mark. Yea I don't know what that line is for but I found that yes it needs to be moved up on certain drawings. As you said though its not critical. I'm seriously thinking of going up to 1/24 also for ease of handling the parts and ease of working inside the hull etc. The down side is more material and more work to cut the heavier lumber. Need to get the Byrnes or Micro mark 4' saw asap
-
Mark, very critical question. On page 53,55 and 57 in the Ancre book it says line 6 should be moved up by 7.5mm. What is this ? What did you do with this ? Seems a very important measurement to just have notes on the page for it. thanks Tony

Fantastic beautiful work -
Beautiful clean work. I know Ill use your build as a reference when I start mine. Framing the hull I'm dreading a bit but once i get rolling it should go smoother.
