New family member, after our Ronny (Foxterrier) passed away 7 months ago, due to a stroke from which he unfortunately could`nt recover, we did`nt want to have a new dog again. To make it short, the decision did not last long, we missed the house being without any four legged pal...... Here now is our new two months old darling "Caspar", (rough haired Dachshund), puppy pet, since last Saturday, and picked up in southern Germay. There is much life and joy in the house again Nils

many thanks to Antony, I`m pleased you like this clinker hull, I am myself happy with the first hull planking over a plug and for using pear wood instead of pine wood, except for those small ships boats made for HMS Pegasus and for the Chebec Nils

Thank you Steve for looking in, and for your kind words.... yes, its one piece of 0,3 mm thick brass sheet. I cut it out by laying a part of the sheet on a scrap bit of 4 mm plywood, dilling a small hole through Brass and ply, and then cutting out the center part with a jig saw. This way the brass had adequate support from beneath and it stayed relatively flat as well Nils

I agree Martin, he had a hard life up to now, so he`ll just make the best out of it, and visit the nearby finess studio regularly, they also do neck-massages there... .😏 Nils

Ab and Wefalk, thanks to both of you,.... the pros and cons (PVA vs. Epoxy) must carefuly be considered, I`ll try and gain more experience from my side Nils

thank you Geert, I also used a wet cloth for wiping off surplus glue before it cured on the wood. The point is that the "stains" appeear when liquid wood primer is applied to the areas, even there where one thought that they had been removed........ Here is a little removable jig to hold down the rudder from pushing up from the stern hinges In the small baltic shipyard two "Zeesener"fishermen are just inspecting their new boat being built Nils preventer bracket (removable) father fisherman..., with the new ordered boat in build... together with his son, next generation, who will be the new skipper both in scale "G" 1:24

Thanks Ab, yes, you`re right, I also experienced stains on the wood due to use of white glue. I`m still intending to check with every visible plank (outside) to remove the stains by sanding carefuly. I tried to avoid larger stains by using the white glue sparsely and also because the horizontal overlapping lines will be nailed and quench locked from the inside hull, but that will be done after the inside framework is put in place Nils

Rudder and tiller, the rudder will be operated by the helmsman either in standing or in sitting mode. The fittings (pintles and gudgeons) will be made from flat brass... Nils tiller turned around 180° all in pear wood
