Ok yes thanks. I’ll think on it. I have a long way to go before I glue anything up. I’ll fine tune the joints some more too. Im curious now what is the fact exactly. I’ll look into it more tomm.

Hello Frank, I have the German translation of the first part by Fröhlich which was never published and as far as I understand it, the caulking of the bolts and nails is meant here. I don't think it would make sense to address the subject at the end of the book.

In my opinion caulking on a model more like a visual thing ,if you want those joinery to be more visible than caulk it ,if not than leave it natural.
I have to think about it. Do one and they all have to be done. Do none and same thing.

Hello Tobias, just to give a fair answer to the question, here is the article by Maestro Boudriot. Whether the modeler does it or not doesn't matter
Hi Frank, I understand what you are trying to say. What you are describing and relying on is all correct, but we are in Chapter 7 Bolts and Caulking and in the next sentence it refers exactly to the bolts and nails that need to be caulked. I am not an expert but I interpret it to mean that the caulker is responsible for inspecting and caulking all scuffs (damage) and holes for the fixing holes.
The keel construction is described in chapter 6 and there is nothing about caulking.

I have all these parts cut and fit except for where the frames will go. I’ll mill those slots out when I get the lumber so I have an accurate thickness to go by. Still much work to do on this section.
Beautiful progress Tony
Thanks.
A question. What are these 4 drawings telling me to do here ?

If you mean these, you can easily prefabricate them and roughly cut them out, but they will only be installed after planking. So only then will the finishing touches be made to fit them exactly.
I don’t even know what they’re referring to. The rear of the stem ? Notches at those locations ?
Ohhh ok. Yea I can do that anytime ! Thanks
These are the so called "breast hooks"
We had a short discussion about the term etc in my building log of the Granado - please check also the following posts in my log

Excellent work Uwe! I'm still installing beam clamps and making the riders - also waiting for the shoe tacks to arrive. Couldn't find any in the UK, have had to order from Slovenia! Your work is an inspiration for me to keep going. Ted

If I am not completely wrong a top view of one of these hooks is also shown on the drawing (see red arrows)
Ok yes I see it. Thanks
Built two wing transoms. One of 1 piece of Cherry the other of 2 pieces of Beech. One thinner than the other, don’t know if that will matter later on. I cut out the other 4 stern timbers too.
Got the lumber. Beech from Dave at The Lumberyard.
Ended up making a third wing transom. The first two just didn’t seem good enough. I hope one of them works out fine in the end.
Hi Tony,
would you be so kind as to mention what Length - Width - Thickness you ordered from Dave? I would appreciate it. Did he mill this for you in mm or inches? He says he can do both.
From the picture, it looks like different sizes.
