bruce d Posted March 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2021 A very attractive ship, and it is nice to see a French subject. May I ask what wood are you using?

Mic.fr Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted April 26, 2021 Hi, The wood having arrived (finally ..), I built the axial frame. It remains to make the rabbet then I continue the timbers.

jdbondy Posted August 2, 2021 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2021 When you use the term varangues, does that refer to the lowest part of the frame, i.e. the floor timber?
