thats exactly the way I`m doing it Eberhard, the difference will not be seen later on, except that it saved me a lot of time (planklengths cutting several times) during the planking session. My Chebec bow post was also done in this way... Nils -
Today I`m taking the clinker planked hull off the "one way" plug.... for the first time Eagerly awaiting this moment, all worked out as intended and the raw hull is an extreme lightweight... A pitty that the quite well built plug is now sacreficed and destroyed, but it was worth it. The hull is rigid and form-stabil, even without the framework. As the horizontal plankseams are layed in a thin white glue line. The horizontal nailingswith clenching counters wil merely be cosmetic afterwards Now reinforcement knees have to be fitted between the keel and stern- and bow posts, as well as (from the outside) false keel and false bow- and stern posts.... Nils removal from the build board rough planking prior to fairing and fine tuning marking the positions of the plugs contruction bulkheads inside the hull it looks a bit like a double-ender lifeboat the waterline at stern provides a deeper submerged portion of the hull than at bow

still going onward with the planking, planks pear wood, 2 mm thick, 15 mm wide...., 2,5 - 3 mm overlapping it takes quite some time for the white glue (Ponal Express) to cure, but 2-3 planks can be done per day. As the keel, and the two stem posts are only screwed to the plug it should be easy to remove the construction from the plug by loosening the screws. Depending on how "flexible" the empty hull shall be, I may have to add some preliminary spreaders into it, before the out-stiffening frames get fixed to the inside planking....The model is now 48 cm long Nils three more planks to go on this half side port half (8 Planks) raw planking completed, every plank will be faired and transition areas keel and the posts will be smoothend out accordingly this will be the brass prop, 20 mm Diam. together with an M3 spindle in a brass tube with 4 mm OD, allthough it is not intended to set the model into water later on... it showed that the plugs gued on "sheer stringers" had to be additionally screwed down to the plugs bulkheads, due to the clamping spring forces additional screws here...

Good morning Martin, you`re right , the wet wood was not planed, but the shaped wooden planks were before wetting. I even had a new bought temp-controlled hot air dryer handy if necessary, to keep the plank-twist to the plug bulkheads without too much resistance. Its a 2000 Watt power with selectable 80° - 600° pesetting temp. The wet pear wood bends very well, so I did`nt use the hot air dryer yet. Cheers, Nils keel area from the inside... bow area stern area 4 planks on port side already mounted towards bow and stern the plank widths were tapered a bit to appr. 70% of the mid ships plank width 2000 Watt air dryer

Thanks to all for the likes.... here go the first 3 planks. There is quite a twist resistance to compensate, so wetting in water is best. The pearwood planks behave well (Once wetted) under twist and do not break A feedback for Bruce : Tapering the slopes (partial contact surfaces at Bow- and sternpost) was better to chip away with the chisel that with the mini plane which provided less good results Nils the backside of a sawblade acting as a guide ruler

Thank you very much Bruce, for the mini plane (my post #21), I`m still intending to use it when I start the lapstraking with the planks, by bringing the plank-ends surfaces flush to bow- and stern posts...., shall give more feedback then... Nils

Good day, have finaly received the pearwood timbers after a long waiting period.... Am now starting to place keel, bow stem and stern stem parts to the plug. Am unsing mini screws to fix the parts into place, until the first planks will give more stability to the hull shell Nils Bowpost Sternpost Keel outcut for centerboard
