A lot of work. But no "chaos" pattern?
Yes a lot of work and more to come. It is a somewhat simplified pattern of Otte Blom. He drew below the wales even 5 nails per crossing of each plank with each frame. But chaos would probably have been historically correct. But then my planking should also have been more chaotic like the Vasa.
 
Hi Peter,

Very neat work but be aware frames are not straight lines. I I were you I would add extra treenails were the zitters are positioned. The top where the stekers are the tree nails and nails should be between the lines of the oplangen and liggers.
You have a trained eye Maarten. And now i see a mistake I have made; a mistake you can only make when you are not building POF. I could of course add extra treenails to emphasize where all parts of the frames form an almost solid wall -and I will-, but i have already inserted nails where -as per the drawings of Blom- they should not be. Of course those drawings are not sacred; even he himself mentioned that the frames would not have been as regular as he had drawn them. Yes, I am now looking for excuses:cool:. No way back:(. Certainly not my first mistake and won't be my last too. Learning all the way.

Dear Herman
it's looks great my friend
Thank you my dear friend. It looks great but Maarten just pointed out to me, let's just say, an imperfection ;)
Have some extra work now to improve my nailing and at the same time to disguise my mistake as good as i can.
