That's quite a bit of known unknowns. Or.... is it the other way around?

I’m not sure I know what Rich is saying?

If it weren't, it wouldn't be. That's how it is.I’m not sure I know what Rich is saying?

And you don't have to know everything, as long as you know someone who knows.

Nice work Peter with that saw, respect
Thanks, Henk. Just one half hull and than it’s done.
Regards, Peter

Its not about what you know and don't know, its about knowing when to ask about what you don't know.
For me I know just enough to be dangerous in my workshop, and don't know near as much as many senior members of this forum.

Nice work Peter, these are coming so much more to life like this, hope you cut above the waterline 
And sometimes, Kurt, don't ask but do. So I did with my saw.
I did not know where it ended, but now I am here at this stage. But yes, it was also dangerous.

Thanxs, Maarten. I really appreciate this from you.Nice work Peter, these are coming so much more to life like this, hope you cut above the waterline
I learned from my father: always saw on the line.

The advantage of skating at these Olympics is that they started with the 3000 for the women and the 5000 for the men. That takes a long time. I sat down in front of the TV with my stash of re-pointed toothpicks. And with the DrawPlate the treenail dots rotate. 
And now we have 1 Gold and 1Silver.
With the new stock of a few hundred, I was able to provide all the planks installed so far with the 'trennels':
Between the 2 blue arrows the next 12-frame plank that has to be sawn in half. With the intended saw seam.
But wouldn't I start sawing a half hull? Still, I wanted to try whether my first option of sawing per plank was also possible. Then you have a better view and direction of the already existing saw cut. Because in the first part I had lightly tapped a few frames with the saw. I do get that flat and neat again, but what doesn't need to be updated is always included.
Sawn the plank from 2 sides:
With the 'loose tip' feared by Johan @RDN1954. But it was not loose and that stayed on the frame.
This has been 'roughly' sanded, so the treenails are not yet neatly flattened. That comes when the whole hull is closed.
Using the strip that I later apply to fill the saw seam and then equal the waterline-line, applied the following plank:
The tip, with glue on the sides, held in place.
So it can also be done this way.
Now just drill, place trennels, sand and on to the next cut.
The lines on the sides of the frames are from always calculating in between to see if I can manage with the rows of full planks.

Spectacular, the patience, the perseverance, the planning, the skill, all show. Incredible what you are able to accomplish.

Thanxs, Heinrich. It was a bit triggy, but it went well (again). But I mustn't overplay my hand, so pay attention.
Thanxs Jan. But it's also quite a journey of discovery for me. With new episodes all the time.
Regards, Peter
Thanxs, Johan. This was the most dangerous. The next ones have increasing angles. Sawing over these shorter distances gives a little more certainty on the line.
Regards, Peter
Not much to report. Continue to plank, drill, install trennels, lightly sand and saw:
I am now at the rear to have plank ends connected neatly.
Now have 11 rows of planks on it. Each row with an average of 100 trennels.
12 more rows to go.

Fortunately only port side be fully planked.I wonder how far off 19000 trennels you will end up with...
At the rate your going, not too far.

Peter, for this reason I decided to do both sides with the planks up to the waterline ... no more! Maybe one or two more strips but not complete, like you didFortunately only port side be fully planked.
