Last weekend, after a long preparation, I finished quite a bit. See various photo montages...

I've started with deck planking. Something that still leaves me with a lot of doubt. Honestly, I don't know what the right method is. I've looked at a lot of photos and done research, and one person says this, another says that... So, what's the deal?

Ultimately decided to align the strips with the curvature of the Hull...
To achieve the curvature, I tapered the strips from 4mm to about 3mm.
Gluing them together was quite a challenge, but I finally succeeded using CA glue. After all, you have to bend the strips to achieve the hull's curvature.
The disadvantage of this technique is that you cannot apply the Four-step butt planking (well, I can't) because otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the curvature neatly (eg to bent the several pieces)....

Next step: the waterway....

Mark, we need to look at the archival documents. Until 1800, no boards were cut into the waterway.
