With the unforgivable macros ;).
When I am at the stage of the hull planking, everything got there final shape by sanding.

The 6x2 tiny parts for the bow glued together and a dry fit on the bow:

Several stages of sanding in- and outside:

Fittet on the keel:

Also here, her final shape when I am going to sand the outside.

And from the inside:

And here, final sanding when I am fitting the keelson and frame boards.

The ST. Bavo Church in Haarlem of course plays a big role in the stern decorations of my Haarlem build. The two bells refer to the Damiaatjes which were given to the St Bavochurch of Haarlem. These two bells ring every night between nine and nine-thirty, to signal the closing of the city’s gates and to commemorate the conquest of the Egyptian city of Damietta during the Siege of Damietta in 1218. Significantly, not only the bells, but also the sword and the Jerusalem cross owe their appearance on the coat of arms of Haarlem to the Siege of Damietta.

Haha Heinrich, so we made the link between in BN and the Haarlem :).

I am not entirely 100% satisfied, with the stern connections in particular. It is difficult to make it neat and tidy by hand. Most of it is later planked, but still ……
That is why I ordered the cross table KT150 with some different clamps and mounting material from Proxxon.

For a not too crazy price to experiment a bit more.
Then I can hopefully make the connections between the beams a little tighter with the drill and milling cutters.

And how can anyone resist buying a new neat looking toy in rationalization that it was just missing from the kit to continue the assembly? :) Rich

Very interesting Heinrich, I didn’t know and Haarlem is my place of birth a long time ago
 
The advantage of repairing the keelson while working the frames, is you can continue building right away.
Pre-drilled the holes for the nails / bolts in the middle part of the keelson with 0.7 mm.
Assembled and immediately tried a different way of clamping:

With 2 thick elastics, the postman uses for post. Worked inward from both ends. The pressure is distributed nicely and it does not cause any notches in the wood.

The divided pressure seen from the inside.

After drying, this part is there like this:

These photos were taken with daylight, so no color shift from the artificial light.
And as a test, 4 cup burred nails placed. It's quite solid wood, so increase the holes to 0.75mm:
128 Keelson.jpg
It takes a few steps, but I am satisfied for the time being :)
Regards, Peter
