Great job on mast wedges.

Hello on the 2nd day of the new year. I did it, the decks are planked and pegged with tree nails.

 

[Maarten]

Very nice work Tobias. The treenails look very good.

Hi guys thanks for your likes and comments, much appreciated. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to build models in the last few days. There was a basement room/boiler room in the house that was literally begging to be renovated. Well, the project is now complete and the admiral is happy. A little update from the Lugger, more to come in the coming days. Bye for now.

Hallo Tobias, looks very fine and accurate. Sauber,sauber.

 

[Tobias]

The left side is now planked from the outside. It is very slow because I glue the planks with wood glue and it takes longer to dry. In the meantime, I dedicate myself to other things.

 

[Gennaro]

Beautiful, smooth lines!

 

[Uwek]

Looking very good my friend - very good work
The planking above the wales you made differently compared to mine (f.e.) - I realized that you have f.e. two planks over the decorative strip towards the stern.

Hello Uwe, yes you see that correctly.
Actually, I had already prepared all the floorboards in advance and completely forgot about them in the heat of the moment and then added the thinner floorboards. Happens

Guten Abend Freunde, die zweite Seite ist nun fertig. Jetzt ist die obere Abdeckung mit den Ruderstützen und den Seitenwulsten darauf sowie den Ankerstützen angebracht.

 

[Uwek]

Gefällt mir sehr gut - sehr gute Lösung!
very good solution

Hallo Tobias, you really managed that very well. Cleanly worked and fits, looks really good.

 

[Tobias]

Thank you Adi and Uwe. I've decided for myself as far as possible not to take the remaining parts from the kit and to make everything myself, I hope I can do it, if so I can still fall back on the kit parts. There will also be a project within the project as far as I can manage it and then there will also be a few pictures.

Today I had a visit from my grandson in the workshop, he has been running safely for 14 days. Now a little thing has happened, let's see what you mean. Have a nice evening everyone.

First class job, beautiful. Never seen use of those kind of clamps to hold the caprail before. Clever.

This is the advantage of the clinker build hull - you can partly use these Wolfcraft-clamps - I did it in the same way.
Still no able to help in the workshop, but in short time he will ask you, if he can use this or that tool - really a nice boy and we can see already that he is technically interested with his forklift .......
btw: you cathead is well done - with the three wheels inside it will easily work to handle the anchor

 

[Tobias]

Thank you for the likes and the positive comments. Yesterday I was able to finish the rudder blocks and the bollards for the port side. Today the starboard side is on the plan.
@Geranno: Yes, the clamps are very helpful and as @Uwek has already noted, this is the advantage of clinker planking.
@Uwek: I gave him the forklift so that he doesn't clear out the drawers in the workshop like he likes to do in Grandma's kitchen.

 

[Tobias]

So last night I nailed the starboard side over the Wales, blackened and sampled the new tung oil

 

[pianoforte]

It looks very good, Tobias
