During the installation of the frames, a "nose" broke off. Not surprising when the grain of the wood is crosswise. Put a new one:

(Sorry, not sharp)
With the frames I am now halfway:

The noses fit nicely with the bevel in the rabbet:

During the drying periods in the framing-proces, I am looking to the next steps: the keelson and frame board.
Special to the nails in them.
In the manual I could not find much about them, but on the drawing 8.2, fig 7 and 8:

With the translated text:
“Use D186 copper wire to simulate copper nails. Drill holes with a 0.6 mm drill bit, then nail them, cut them, and grind them smoothly.”
I didn't really like the use of this copper wire that way:
1: to bling-bling;
2: every time after cutting a piece of wire, you have to point it a little bit before you can put it in the next hole;
3: They put it in the seam of the front and rear frame.
I dived into my stock and came across 0.7 mm iron nails.
I am quite fond of using the cup-burrs. Therefore:

1: cut off the head (as much action as cutting the copper wire)
2: round off with the large cup-burr;
3: make a the inner cup with the smaller cup-burr;
4: the nails has already there point.
Test done:

With 2 nails for each frame, in the front and the rear frame. A kind of wire ends with nut and washer.
On the bottom of the picture the first nail, made of a brass. That’s not what I liked.
It's acceptable. I have to drill neat holes.
During the drying breaks of the rest of the frames I can now work about 200 nails.
