Thanks all for the likes, comments and Visit.
The floor timbers are in shape and I also constructed the Kolzem, in English Keelson. Luckily the Keelson is almost straight, only a light bend on the bow- and stern section. Only a precise and strong clamping in that area was necessary to get it in place. The thickness of the keelson is 5 mm. and a width of 12 mm. Not easy to bend, but in this case a "makkie" (Dutch for a easy job)
Only them clamping was a little more.... How too?
I got a Idea with my Proxxon MF70. The z-axle is with a screw and pretty strong. So I used this to do the job.
Yes it looks dangerous to do it this way, but surprisingly enough the construction of keel, planks and floor timber is very strong. I used a hammer and chisel to shape the floor timbers, that also went very well. After a long time of drying (the glue need to harden before I get the ship out of the construction) I nailed the keelson to the floor timber with brass nails. Next thing on my list is a few layers of hull planks and a lot of study how to go further with the floor.
thanks for watching

Fantastic Stephan! Among the most interesting builds on the forum!
Very good progress - Looking very good
With only 2 hands your have to be inventive to install such a long piece of wood, Stephan. And the nails will hold the keelson in place.
Regards, Peter
Good afternoon Stephan. I will have a break, watch the Expance and fix up the Bounty model in my pub. Then a POF British ship. Cheers Grant
That sounds like a plan, Grant!
