Looking good so far B.E. What will you be using for the horizontal inter connecting of the lapped planks ? (for optical matter only) Nils -
Svein, a very well built cutter hull from a wonderful kit....., she`ll surely turn out a beauty when complete Nils

Correct and thanks Michel, no pollution, good idea, perhaps I can claim a technical Nobel prize for that Nils

Good morning John and Eberhard, Thanks for your comments, and also to all those who clicked the "likes".... John, I had a broad smile from ear to ear when I read your lines..... Think its just that what we remember as the good old days, compared with the regulations all over, we have for everything today. The exhaust pipe should get a little plate fixed with warning "hot, do`nt touch, danger of being burnt, plasters, bandage and Asperin in the cabin" Eberhard, when I read asbestos the "red light" went on in my mind straight away, bearing all the facts you mentioned Nils

Thanks for looking in Yves, and for your comment. For mounting the engine I needed at least mini steel screws M1,4, anything thinner than that rips off, just by srewing it in. I`ve learnt my lesson there, and scalewise its a small compromise is`nt it Nils

Status : carrying on with the side deck support beams on the port side... I`m using 4 mm thick, 7 fold layer ply to cut out the sidebeam members to get a strong support connection. Probably there will be 9 short sidebeams per side, and they will be trimmed off to suit the cockpit width and the working area. There will also be lashes (brass sheet strips) that find their lower anchouring points attached between these sidebeam ends and the inner skin planking of the hull. I need these strips later to sufficiently fasten an extra foot-rail plank about (3 mm gap) above the later deck level. In the cabin area I wo`nt do too much timber joining work so the later cut out with view into the cabin wo`nt be spoilt (just as much as necessary for the static) Nils

Many thanks for looking in B.E. I`m pleased you like the Zeesboot, it is a traditional two man crew workboat, as used for professional fishers in East German teritories on the Baltic sea near shores and mostly on the wide Bodden lakes, in this case motorized around the turn of the century, 1900, which caused the live fish containments to be shifted from where now the engine is, to right and left of the centerboard, The fishy smell must have been all throughout the boats and the clothing of the crew at that time.

Thanks Pete, because I have no given build plan, all the next steps will be acc. to my mind, from pictures, and from available liturature and from the web researches, the engine related part is now done, there may perhaps later on be a little panel box for the helmsman with rpm, oil-temp and start /stop button. Next I probably will move on with the deck beams, and the short cockpit side beams, and deck covering in thin ply, (to be planked ) Nils

Brave, brave E.T., thats indeed a special task with the clinkering, and I know you`ll do a wonderful job, I love the clinkered "Alert" version in Peter Goodwins book and you`re going for it..... Nils

Bonet housing for the engine.... the port side has a large outcut, an additional hinged hatch cover will be on top, so the engine will not be hidden... Nils Bonnet with upper hatch and air ventilation blinds little round ball at the end of the clutch lever, for better grip

Thank you Pete, Yes there will be several cuts, also in the cabin area giving view to the whole interior. Thanks again for your link to the screw heads, great idea I think.... Nils bolts holding the gear housing to the machine block, and silicone rubber dampening pads slicing off the round heads with hexogonal sockets exhaust to outside (well above waterline) screws for exhaust tube flange to cylinder

Thank you very much Geert, will start with the removable engine bonnet, that will have some outcuts so the engine remains visible. Have also added silicone shock dampener pads for bolting the engine down, and with reference and thanks to Pete`s suggestion I received the small panel with dummy screw heads, these are also installed already, as well as the prolonged exhaust tube that is now leading to the outside hull planking... Nils

Thank you Pete, I know sometimes I get lost in details, but if the time for completing is not pressing I can try and realise some of the thoughts I have saved in mind, and its a lot of fun. The tuc- engine is the little heart of the boat. Your name suggestion is not bad, but I intended to call her "Lorbas" as this name was not yet registrated for heritage Zeesboots list, to my knowledge Nils
