Glennb17 was right: F1's main piece design is flaw... definetly. A new pair of bollard timbers is badly needed here. A pity: the building has been proceeding smoothly so far... .

The issue is the first front frame's design, not the bollard timber itself. You can see how much the frame's edge invades the rebbet. Antscherl's plans show a totally different pattern for the entire four or five front frames, flatter by far at the keel. F1's overall shape doesn't fit much with the stem, though. As it's conceived, the hull would not be suitable for planking. I'have ordered some cherry spar planks at ZHL intended to reproduce all "F" parts, if necessary. A 5mm thick cherry plank will also be providing the beams in one single piece, instead of the suggested "patchwork". More to come... Cheers!

Antscherl's version...

Finally I got the cherry planks I've ordered on october 2 and scratched a pair of brand new bollard timber by fretsaw.

When you want to use vinyl glue at any cost...

Did you dismantle all the frames? Was something wrong?
Or you want to show us, that you start now with final fixing of the farmes?

All good over here. I'have just started gluing the first fore cant frames as firm base for the brand new bollard timbers and hawse pieces properly spaced.
