Sjors, that looks great, very clean. Its not fair that your  gun ports come pre scored Nope! No Sir! You need to spend hours laying those puppies out. Days even. 

I dont know if I can believe that is a clock, clocks only go to 12 then start over. Who ever heard of a 24 hour clock........?  :P

Thanks Sam,

 

I have to correct you......

There are only 12 gun ports at the top that are pre-cut....

The rest ( 56 ) I have to cut them myself  :(

And the clock with the 24 hour system is only available in Holland  :P  :P

Ok I feel better now. Your clock goes to 24?? Now I know how you get so much done. 

Are you planning on using nails on your planking all the way up the frames? They look very fragile, how will you get a nail in there without breaking them?

Thank Draggz and Grant,

 

@ Grant,

 

It looks if it is going fast but.....a lot of planking !

After that sanding and filling and sanding and filling.

By the time I finished that Mobbsie his Aggy is ready to sail !

 

@ Sam.

 

I wish my clock had a time of 48 hours.....

Then i can do more !  :P

I'm using nails to hold the plank on to the hull.

And because I have placed the inner bulwarks there is enough strength on the frames.

Just as solid as a rock !

Thanks Ben and Patrick,

 

It goes slow at the moment.

1 plank at the time...maybe 2 each day !

And that only for the weekend, tomorrow at work again .

Before you think that I have doing nothing.....wrong !

A small update on the first planking.

It need a little touch up but that's for when the first planking is all done.

I go now to the middle to see how it goes to the stern.

There is a strange angle so I have to see how that goes.

And I have to reduce the sternpost from 5 mm to 1 mm.....

Otherwise problems with the coppering .

But, enough talk ,time for pictures.

Ah! Progress in the Schiedam Shipyard I see!

 

Looks like you've been busy indeed Sjors. She's taking shape nicely.

Very nice planking Sjors.  Looking at your first picture it looks like you have cut a rabbet but its not clear, if so how did you cut it?  I had started my Snake before I found this site and didn't realize you needed to do this....next time though I will.

Cheers,
 
Jason

Great to see your progress and a terrific job to boot.

 

Do they call for tapering the stem at all?  Just curious.

Not only are you a master at rigging and ratlining, but also a master a planking.  Nice work, Sjors.

Thank you all again  :D  :D

 

@ Jason 

 

I have not make a rabbet .

Just glue the planks and hold them with two clamps.....

I think it's a compliment that you are saying this ?

 

@ Augie,

 

They don't tell me to tapering the stem at all.....

I'm just doing what I think it should be right......

Maybe wrong but ok, it works so far  :D

 

@ Mark,

 

I reach not the level that you have but I'll doing my best !

And don't forget....I have a few 1000 examples how it should be !

And still learning from you guy's and girls !

 

At the moment I'm doing things a little different.

I wanted to start planking from the middle but I don't.

I begin at the false keel and work to the top.

Because the stern part has a strange angle I want to see how it goes when I reach the top.

Then I can " play " with the planks.

And then for the people who are thinking that my work room is to clean....

Don't look now !

It's one big mess with all the saw dust around !
