From one Pices to another HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Following your progress planking over the filler blocks is very encouraging. I'm at the same stage on my clipper ship hull. Just about to do the filling and sanding. Yours looks pretty darn good. So there's hope!

Hi all,

Next up was the cutting out of the gun ports. This was a nerve wrecking undertaking







I hope to most more pictures soon, but I'm rather busy with remodeling my second floor of my home and therefore do not have much time to post and/or work on the ship.

Cheers!

Your “cutting” out of the gun ports is a remarkable feat. Nicely done.

Very good work, Maik. Your hull looks really neat while you have done an admirable job on cutting out the gunports. I know just how tricky that is doing it with oak wood.

There was a fire at the Lelystad shipyard a number of years ago, but only the buildings were affected. The ship survived.

Thanks!

Hi all,

It's been a while, but I am busy preparing the house for my first child therefor I hadn't had much time to work on the ship.

Following a previous discussion I am now debating if I am going to place nails on the hull. I made an example of how it will look like:





What do you all think?
Cheers.
