Nice Work Peter
I love the detail in your work Peter. Your technical explanations are challenging but fascinating to follow.
Thanks very much, Daniel. For sure it's technical. A lot of hours above the old drawing to fully understand how everything fits together. And for the most: what first, what after that, what before that beam etc
Regards, Peter
Good evening Peter. And now we have the evidence needed….Mr Peter Voogt is insane…confirmed! On a serious note, what you achieve boggles the mind
. Cheers Grant
This is a nice compliment from someone who lives on the same longitude.Good evening Peter. And now we have the evidence needed….Mr Peter Voogt is insane…confirmed! On a serious note, what you achieve boggles the mind
Thanks, Grant.My colleagues called it "Pleasantly crazy". But that was more than 5 years ago. Perhaps I am indeed transformed to that next stage ........
Regards, Peter
Then I really go to the next stage and get mad ……..
Amazing work, Peter, I'm impressed. You can see the finesse very clearly in the "don't sneeze" picture, a real Sisyphean task. Simply brilliant.
Thanks, Tobias, for your reply with those compliments. I am honored by naming my build as a ‘Sisyphean task’. You raised it to a new level.
Being like Sisyphus
: (Quote from Wiki: The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. (Through the classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean).But I am sure I will reach the top op the hill.
And I am sure you pointed only at the laborious task …..Regards, Peter

Peter, you are absolutely right. What I meant was that it is very laborious, as it is a very delicate structure. There is no sign of giving up.Thanks, Tobias, for your reply with those compliments. I am honored by naming my build as a ‘Sisyhean task’. You raised it to a new level.

What a great, accurate, and extremely technical work you are showing Peter.

Thanks for the compliments, Peter. For sure it’s technical. I try to find the most logical construction, based on the drawings. And the information I get from that friend who used to work on the frame building floor and who still have some knowledge of this type of construction. Now I notice that being installing the bilge and the floor profiles for the forecastle, the hull got the correct shape and much more strength.What a great, accurate, and extrely technical work you are showing Peter.
Regards, Peter
The bilge and floor profiles for the forecastle floor were installed in both parts:
Surprising but also explainable how much extra strength this provides in the front part of the hull.
I also spent a while fitting all connections including knees with rivets:
Now it is time to install the rest of the frames with reverse frames almost till te underside of the deck stringer plates.
Picture of the loose starboard part:
Once the intermediate frames are also included, the hull shape will become even clearer.
PS:Based on the pictures, a few rivets were slid into place.

I still have some sheets in stock:Time to order more rivets
More then enough for this month….

A look at the production process:
The 4 starboard half frames with reverse frames bent into shape on the Fushion prints:
The knee plates with profile against the deck stringer plates:
The half frames were first aligned at the bottom and secured between the keel and the keelson:
Then on the bilge profile and at the top against the knee plate.
The shape of the hull is becoming increasingly clear:
On to the remaining 4 half frames on the port side.

Amazing! And now she starts to look like a ship!
That's for sure, Paul. It was a long road before this came into the picture. Now the other side and the sheet metal on the deck and then she can be released from the slipway for the paint shop. But that will take a while......
Regards, Peter
