Norske Løve, Billing Boats, Scale 1:75

The exceptional quality and meticulousness of your work pleasantly surprised me. Every detail is carefully thought out and executed with remarkable precision. It is a true pleasure to admire such mastery and passion for naval modeling. Congratulations on this excellent work that inspires and commands respect!

Krister, after you use it several times, let me know how you like it or not. I might order it as I don't have a drill press. Magic Mike

Yes I will, Mike. But it's gonna take a couple of weeks before I'm back home in Sweden. But for sure I will drop you a line about the experience with this machine.

Norske Løve update: So, finally back at the workshop again after quite a long break, testing the new plank clamps. Just wish I've seen these earlier, works like a charm with pre drilling Ø1,1 - 1,2mm and a lot easier to handle than my home made clamps with slot screws.

Hello Krister_L, I am Noël Luc from Belgium and I am currently building the Norske Love. I am very interested in the wooden clamps that you are using in the picture. My hull has been completely closed for a week and I wish I had had these clamps earlier. Can you tell me where and from which company I could order and have these clamps delivered? I will be able to use them when building my next boat! I have not seen these clamps in Belgium yet! Maybe you have already come across my construction of my Norske Love on this forum! Hopefully you can help me to buy these clamps! Your planking looks great!! Greetings from Belgium!!

Hello Noël
Sorry to say, I have missed you build log, I´ll start looking for it immediately :)
Actually I've used two different set of clamps, one that is home-made and one that I bought from JoJo shiffsmodellbau in Germany. The clamps that I bought has the advantage of being mounted by hand, for my hand made I need a screw driver. As for the purchased ones I also completed with som simple wooden parts where it is too narrow between the planks for the metal part. First picture shows the purchased set and second picture shows one of my home made ones.
