Very clean work Tobias
Very impressive and accurately done Tobias.
Hi Tobias. There is so much to see on the SOS. Why did I miss this build of yours?
Very nice work on your frames and the bolts. They are looking very smooth.
PS: Is it correct frame 25 is turned? It’s no problem, because its dry-fit.
Regards, Peter

Hello Peter, according to the plan, the direction is changed from frame 26, the frames are also mirrored.
Thank you Peter for your words and yes I know it well, there is sooooo much to see
Hallo Peter,
this is typical and often on french ships
As examples here the Commerce and the Aurore
A little update for the weekend. So far I've drilled the holes with the MF 70 and it's very tedious and takes time as I've gotten to a point where I can't drill through anymore because the frames are buckling. I have decided to hire a new helper who makes my work a lot easier. There are 68 holes to drill per frame. Thanks to EBay and a bit of luck, I was able to bid on both items for €110.
Since we have very nice weather and the temperatures are still bearable at the moment, I have moved my workplace to the terrace. The program is: Marking the bolt holes.
Hallo Tobias,
this is a beautiful place for modeling - I would work there most of the time....... enjoy
With a view of the pond and the pool you can bear it very well.
There you have it really cozy, just a nice place to build.
Yes Adi you can say that out loud, that's the work of the last 5 years, everything self-made.
I wish you all a nice evening. In post #156 I already explained how I proceed with the installation of the square bolts, well I thought I would show you a few pictures of the process.
1. Measure and mark the hole pattern from both sides.
2. Drill holes
3. Insert bolts with small pliers and a hammer.
4. File off the bolt with the needle file.
5. Sand with 240 grit sandpaper.
6. Buffing with steel wool.
And here three frames in comparison.
So now I'll get back to work, there's still a lot to do.

Hello everyone.
Day 4-9:
18 frames are done. In the last few days I've only made a frame every now and then in the evening. It's just too nice to be in the workshop and I've been tasked with building a tree/playhouse. Yes, I am powerless against my daughter and her son.

I hope you will be using square bolts on the treehouse
