Hello everyone!

 

Final stretch with the frame construction. Frames 46-58 are finished. Only 4 more to go.

Hello everyone!

 

The last four frames have now been completed. The wedges between the keel and counter keel were milled and installed one after the other. Additionally, the filler pieces were inserted approximately at the end of the bottom timber and in the middle of both the bottom timber and the keel. This layout is also found in Gerard's A'rtésien. Thanks again for your help with this. The individual filler pieces between the frames were installed as shown in the plan, and additional ones were placed above each frame for reinforcement.

 

Since the spacing between the frames is only 2mm, I deliberately omitted showing the bolts. Please forgive me

Hello everyone!

 

Thank you so much for your interest and likes!

Thank you, Daniel Forlani, for your wonderful praise; I'm very pleased! I hope I can continue to do good work. Now the pressure's on! Your build log of your Chebece was very inspiring for me.

 

Small update: The sternboard has been removed for now, and the A'rtésien has been re-anchored. The stern section has been further completed. The already finished cleats have also been attached to the bow, which cost me a lot of patience and required further adjustments. Since the already installed randwood is giving me quite a headache, I'd like to leave it as is for now, and the ship will be completely sanded. More on that in the next update!
