Hello Heinrich,
I have already responded to your post with a smiley, but I would still like to thank you again for the appreciative words, very much appreciated.
As announced, Le Rochefort will continue again in the following days. The plan is to stay with Le Rochfort until September.
The plan for the following months:
- Finishing the beams of the deck
- sanding and various work on the hull
- The planks on the starboard side
- Deck planking
So a lot of work, let's see if the plan holds up.
The workshop is clean again and ready for Le Rochefort.

Much appreciated my friend. That workshop of yours is an absolute pleasure to look at - it is ready for action!
As I already announced, I am back on the small harbor yacht Le Rochefort. The program shows the deck beams, which have further dovetail recesses on the left and right into which the water channel and the first floorboard are inserted. Some will now think, OMG why is he doing that if it won't be visible later, there will be an area that I will leave visible and secondly because it is indicated that way in the plans.
To make these recesses: I prepared two small wooden blocks 5mm x7mm and twisted these wooden blocks depending on the angle. It is then milled 1 mm deep, 8 times per beam. It will probably take some time. All recesses are also milled into the beams.

Very clever Tobias!
Impressive job Tobias.
Very good work on the dovetails
I like your sentence: No other reason necessary
because it is shown in the plans!

Hello Tobias, that looks really good, neat work.
Hello dear friends, thank you very much for your visit and your interest.
Not much news at the moment, the milling of the beams is taking up a lot of time, in the last few days I've been busy milling the teeth for 2-3 hours, yay I've done 1/3. I noticed that I haven't nailed the beam walkway on both sides yet, another 148 nails. I had to make a second mast guide because a piece broke off while I was milling. Well, time flies and you don't see much

As usual: very nice work, Tonias. Very nice joints on the beams!

Ahh, the ongoing labors of a one man ship-building crew.
In the real world many men worked on the ship at the same time. And then we try to include every element of the real ship but we are only one man. No wonder it takes us years and years...

Hello
Tobias, each of us is irritated that the results of our work come slowly, but it really doesn't matter, the most important thing is the effect you achieve, and it is great. Regards, Mirek

As usual great clean looking workTobias!
Yes, the work is slow and meticulous but there are also other things we do… Like skiing!

Many thanks @Peter Voogt @dockattner @Steef66 @Mirek @OlivierF for your comments and they all get likes.
Over the last few evenings I have been able to work away a few things and the beam construction is finished. Nothing has been glued yet and some small adjustments still need to be made.
Next on the program are the pumps and the doors of the pump house with all the metal work.

The awesome skills of a one-man craftsman ship builder
