Le Rochefort build log by OlivierF

I drilled all the holes for the wale nails (say that three times fast…:)) and completed installing the nails. I think they came out OK. I drilled 0.6mm holes and pushed a 0.7mm brass rod into the holes using a pair of flat nose pliers. That works pretty well and went fairly quickly.

Now I think I’ll work on getting the interior planking and other components installed…
Enjoy the weekend!
 
I’ve been slowly working on some interior pieces.

I completed and installed the mast step and dry fitted the first breast hook

Then I fabricated and dry fitted the pump house. I was able to make the hinges but so far the door latch mechanism is kicking my A$$… I may forgo that detail.

I guess the floor sections will be next…
Have a great week everyone!

Hmmm, ok, I’ll put them in a zip file and PM it to you. If that doesn’t work PM me your email address and I’ll send it to you directly.
 
Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes!

I’ve been working on the interior floor and finally achieved a measure of success in laying the beams.

Now I’ll see how well I can complete the floor planking. I’m only doing half the floor so the ballast and beams will be visible on the “open” side. I’m still debating on how much to open the side. I think it will depend on how the inside turns out and how many of the mistakes I want to reveal! ROTF
 
Looking awesome...you may have to "open" the entire side to show your "flawless" work!

The flooring beams are perfect for the inspector walk on carefully, while conducting his rounds!

Love the bolts in the keelson! Is the spacing of those bolts, different than the spacing of the frames?

Thanks for sharing your wonderful work!
