Thank you for the compliment Peter, i am glad that you agree with the Admiral. I will follow her instructions
This compliment from a man who is a master in hull building makes me blush, my friend
Good morning Peter. Wonderful work on those treenails. I like the outcome for sure- very realistic. Cheers Grant
True story
Good afternoon Grant, thank you for the compliment, i am having one advantage, this is a dutch build ship, so it is not a problem if the tree nails ain't sitting exactly in the correct place, the dutch always have some flaws here and there
A little update on the Pinas Crossection, because there where a lot of holes to be drilled for the treenails, i tried to make a mold for the placement of the holes,
it did not work completely as i thought , but most of the nails where drilled with it.
Only there where a few planks that are somewhat smaller as the rest, so i had a bit of improvising to do, but the inside of the hull has been drilled.
The drilling was also a little thing, i have a Proxxon with cord, and the cord was constantly teasing me during the drilling, so i went to Alie, and i treated myself to a cordless machine for a few euro's, and that is working wonderfully.
At this moment i am trying to get the treenails in, which is not going very fast, but there is some progress, as you can see.
See you all next time

I am really enjoying following along on this build. You have some very admirable work qualities.
HI PETER GREAT WORKI FOLLOWING GREATLY WILL START MINE SOON FOLLOWING YOURS HOPE I CAN GET IT CLOSE TO YOURS. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
+I am enjoying this also Paul, i stepped out of my comfortzone with this, but i love this build.
This way of building is completely new for me, so it is trial and error, but there is progress
Hi Don, very nice that you are starting soon as well, i hope to see your crossection in a short time on SOS, god bless and stay safe, Peter
Thank you my friend, i am very pleased with the outcome of all these holes, they could have been a bit smaller, but in that case you would hardly see them

Really nice progress, Peter. Try to make your own treenails with a drawing plate and if possible with the same timber as the planks. In my opinion it look s much better than toothpicks.

Great work on the treenails. This makes the overall image so much more realistic.
Thanks for the tip, and the compliment Cristian, i'll see if i can get my hands on a drawing plate, so i can try it.
Hello everybody, a little update on the crossection, i don't have a lot of time for the crossection at the moment, i have to do some jobs around the house, but i did manage to do some little things, the treenailing on the inner planking, called the "Ceiling " is completed for the moment, it did cost some very bad words, but it looks like this.
And because Cristian( @AnobiumPunctatum ) gave the tip to make my own treenails from basswood, i bought a drawing plate, and i am going to do some testing with it, so perhaps the next series of treenails will be done with treenails that are a little thinner.
For the treenails on this part of the ship i went along with the toothpicks that i had, to avoid big differences in treenailing.
For the placement of the knees on the open side, i placed another timber, to give the knees a bit of support when placed, otherwise they would be hanging in free space. Since i am a bit clumsy, that did not look like a good idea to me.
That is my tiny update for today, i hope to give you in the next update a bit more to look at
See you all next time.

Good morning Peter. Stunning work. I agree that drawing wood through a draw plate is the way to go with treenails. I wish I had done this.
