Davemc Posted October 1, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2018 Having completed HMS Cruiser and HMS Snake I decided I needed a break from Rigging😕 and having seen Jack P's build log I have decided to try the Oseberg. After an initial confusion at finding that the laser cut frames were arranged in a different pattern to the diagram in the plans I have set to it and started the keel. I have decided to stain the wood dark mahogany and have stained the frame and planks with two initial coats. I have mahogany veneer to cover exposed plywood edges, but otherwise will be using the wood supplied Photos to follow J11 and oscarmate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md1400cs Posted October 2, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2018 Dave, Good luck - will follow along - my next build will be a Viking ship. Yes Jack P's is gorgeous indeed.

Davemc Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted October 2, 2018 Attached is the diagram in the Oseberg manual, which I found different from the materials supplied, two separate pieces arranged in a different way, fortunately I soon realised the symmetry of the construction and was easily able to work out the position of each frame.

Davemc Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted October 4, 2018 I gather that I will have to drill the oar holes in the top plank using the plans as a template, any hints on doing this without causing damage would be appreciated!

Davemc Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted October 21, 2018 Sides just about completed, now the decision as to how to work the bow & stern. I think it will be trial and hopefully not too much error, I intend taking down the layers of ply on the boat itself rather than the scroll work, but the final decision will have to wait until I have completed the removal of the first layer.
