Are those spiders any good at planking?  I might need to borrow them.

I did hope so..... but  notthing is happening😄 maby these just rund around and doing some pinning😂

[svein erik]

Am on my way... i have ripping planks for the hull and my first task is to plank the last 6 planks on the portside ,

then i wil finish the square tuck and planks.

[JpR62]

Nice job on this planking. The first belt on the starboard seems really very beautiful.

 

[Matt D]

Looking good, Svein.  It’s very satisfying to cut your own planks and then see them on the model, isn’t it?

[svein erik]

thanks for likes and coments☺

 

i yust finish the last planks for the first belt , so know am moving along to the sqare tuck 

before the rest of planing begins again😊

[MEDDO]

nice point to go onto something else for a bit,  looking forward to your square tuck

[Chuck]

That looks really excellent.   Its really shaping up.   😀

[glbarlow]

[Chuck]

Beautiful work.  Its really coming together.

[svein erik]

thanks for all the coments and likes... 😊

am getting ready to plank the 2 plank belt , all the tick marks are in place and i also took a control of the run,

wat i can se at the bow is the plank seems to go more upwards then the first belt .

in my 2 belt there is totel of 10 planks if i go dow to 9 i may have to use a drop plank aft, 

i think is going to be to wide ....

[svein erik]

i think am on the wrong track here...... 

i edge bendt the 2 plank a bit but it seems thats wrong to do here 😷

[Chuck]

The curve is too severe on those planks already on the hull.   They should be straighter at the bow....it should follow your lining off if that was correct.

thats wat i was afraid of.... lol  i need to ripp of te 2 plank and re do it so it flows strait and follows the marking i made..

[glbarlow]

It does get a bit tricky at this point, your eyes seem to tell you one thing but that doesn't correspond to the tick marks.  You really have to trust the marks, I found trimming based on the second bulkhead vs. at the bow worked better, plus constantly rechecking the remaining distance. 

 

Your planking is looking great, nice and tight.

[svein erik]

thanks for the advice and warning......  and yes my eyes are playing with my head😨,

i think i need to ripp of the garboard plank also and make a new one and place it more fare back then i did 

so it wil flow more strait into the bow 😊

the garboard plank

I played around a lot with that plank. It’s a challenge to get it right for sure. 

[svein erik]

yes indid.... maby a video on the subject on msw  , wil be helpful😉

[svein erik]

some new photo , my eyes diddent want to see wats going on ..... so i have to lay out some tape strips to see the run for the plank

at the bow , i do have tick marks but it seem wrong , the tape helps me on that.

the are 10 planks to the keel inkl. the garboard plank, i can know see were it goes , and it seems i have to place it up wards in the bow to get it 

right for my planks , i may have dunn something wrong with my other planks so i have this problem know...

in chucks photo the garboard plank sitts more aft then mine, maby it dosent matter at this point.....

in one of the photo i mark the garboad plank in red so you can see were it goes.

Here is another photo , the mistake i did with the planking at the stem is the curve of the planks 

is to severe to the bow so it gets a bit messy at the end, 

so this is wat i need to work on in my next prodjekt 😉

[svein erik]

Hi again, and tanks for the likes ...

 

i have just discover something on my plank sheet spreder, 

the provided marker for 5/32 plank does not match the 5/32 sheet (ca 4mm wide) is more betwin 3/16 to 7/32 (5mm)

i think also this my had some impact om my planking since i have used this marker in the prosess ,

se the photo.

Aren't you using 3/16th for hull planking?  My planking fan downloaded as part of the monograph only has a pre-defined line for 3/16th.
