i use nails all the time and then remove them after the glue has set, the only char removed so far has been for fairing of the hull -
they are in now, about an hour ago, thank you for keeping me in check
-

Thank you James

good evening everyonr thank you for comments and likes day 16 1st planking port and stbd side templates fitted stern tuck, caused me some aggro fot a couple of hours, so the fixed planks were cut back and the stern was re faired allowing the 3rd plank to twist and turn

Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 14 port side Gun port templates fitted well i never expected to be at this stage after 2 weeks, but here i am, and loving it, and i have not had any issues to criticize the build, or instructions, after the hull fairing i test fitted the gun port templets, no other sanding was required the bottom of fwd template forms where the first run of planking under it goes, so a pencil line is drawn, the rest of the plank aligns along the top of the port sill , at this point the template can be removed first plank 2nd plank the after template fits on the top of the 1st plank and lined up with the top right corner of the last gunport, instructions need to be read to be aware of where the glue is applied, as a section of the framework has to be removed at a later date a templete fits between and the area over the ports is covered, using limewood rough opening of the gun ports when the glue has dried

ooops on the door way, im sure a couple others things are still needing attention, and when i got back in i found that i had forgotten to put the bracing beams inn thats how strong this build is

i tend to post quite often looking forward to yours along with others, will be nice to see more indy's than Victory's in build
-
thank you James, much appreciated
-
the pattern was a great help, for the placement of the butts, i never tapered the planks, so it did run off, im happy with the result however
-
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 10 lower deck planking complete let the sanding begin
-
Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 9 lower deck planking the weather outside has restricted me taking her out to start sanding the outer hull, so using the boxwood i have started the lower gundeck, sorry the photos are not brilliant, very little of this will ever bee seen, all the slots down the port and stbd side are for the cannons, i made the decision to cover these for now and either find them later on, or find an alternative method for fixing them just loving this build
-
looking good Glenn
-
id perfer to be the Lewis, but im not in a race lol, however this does go together so very well, it will of course slow down soon, with planking
-
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes, very much appreciated the inner bulkhead liners are now fitted, there are another two, to fill a blank space, if i get the chance i will put them on tonight, otherwise they will remain off until completion of sanding the outer hull 8 temporary beams are inserted to ensure the everything stays in place whilst sand in the hull, i think they are discarded at a later date today was also spent putting on 4 profiles that accurately space the upper deck beams, another clever idea, apart from skimming the tops of the inner bulkhead liners to stop any fouling, this never caused any concerns at all prior to gluing the profiles in place i removed the beams to check the alignment once this has dried the beams will be removed to safe place and put on again later on after deck planking
