Ronald-V Posted June 28 Author Share #154 Posted June 28 (edited) Small update: Finish line is in sight, just closed the 3rd band. One more band on both sides, and I'm done. I thought the 3rd band would be easy, but the first 3 strakes at the stern were the hardest I've encountered. The sharp curve up was difficult. A combination of measuring, using a template and just eyeballing worked reasonably well. Now first the garboard strake and continue working from there. Photo's are a bit crappy, when it's finished I will shoot some better pics.

Ronald-V Posted June 29 Author Share #156 Posted June 29 (edited) 9 hours ago, cdrusn89 said: Very, very nice work. I wish mine looked this good unsanded. Thanks! I hope it will look good after sanding...there is a bit of fear that when sanding, seams will appear because I have not bevelled the edges enough or something like that. But that's a bit of insecurity from my part...we will see. I have made some mistakes with the planks fitting into the rabbet, especially at the bow. I will make later some pictures of that, so others can learn from it. (basicly I sanded the first layer too much so there is a gap between the final planking and rabbet, will fill that up with some sanding dust) Thanks everyone for the likes! appreciate it!

Ronald-V Posted June 29 Author Share #158 Posted June 29 1 hour ago, glbarlow said: Well done, it will look even better sanded, no worries about gaps. Thanks Glenn I soaked the garboard planks for a half hour in some warm water, and installed them with sufficient clamps onto the ship against the keel. I've read in the planking PDF that it's easier to keep the garboard strake in one piece, and that sounds like a good plan. So probably will do that It's beautiful weather today here in Holland so this was a nice little job to do and I can now let it dry for 24h...good excuse to go outside!

Ronald-V Posted July 2 Author Share #162 Posted July 2 Update: Garboard strake is in place. Used a 6mm wide plank for this. This gave me mid-ship 4mm wide planks for the final belt (well 4.1 to be precise ) but close enough. It was not an easy plank and here and there I have a small seam, but I will use the cheat code of glue with some sanding dust to cover this The plank is out of one piece so I used diluted PVA to glue this piece on...this gave me plenty of time to get it in place. One important thing was that the tip of the strake at the bow didn't curved up...and that didn't happen so I'm quite pleased with the result. Now starts the whole song over with dividing the last belt etc... Gregory, Thukydides, chris watton and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald-V Posted July 22 Author Share #172 Posted July 22 (edited) Hull is closed! Just a snapshot before sanding Started 16 april so I did it in 14 weeks 🫠, not the fastest but enjoyed it, and glad it's done. Last few weeks it's nice weather here in Holland and there are quite a few chores in the garden and the house, so that takes hobby time . Curious to see what it will look like once it is sanded. Sad thing always is...you get really good at something when you nearly finished lol...at least that's true for me 🥲 Oh yeah...side note, after such a long phase it was really satisfying to clean up the craft room, workbench etc. Edited July 22 by Ronald-V rcweir, chris watton, brunnels and 17 others 14 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
