@TIMBERWOLF Baie dankie Timber. Dit is iets heel anders as wat ek ken, maar tog lekker.
Ziet er netjes uit!
Hello Almal
It is wonderful to see all the activity on the forum - our hobby is alive and doing well!
So, it is time for my weekly update on the Leudo. With the romp and dekbeplanking completed, it was now time for what I will believe will be the most challenging part of the build - installing the upper verschansing above the berghouten.
For this part of the build the second jig is utilised.
I made a decision beforehand to do only one side at a time - in this case, the stuurboord (always my most difficult side) side first. You will notice that there are some missing spanten on the bakboord side - I just found it easier to align the romp on the jig without those.
Next up, all the little spars were glued into the square holes on the stuurboord waterweg.
The keen observers will notice that there are still two holes without spars. These are of thicker diameter and only get installed after the verschansing planks are in place. Just looking at those spars, I had serious doubts as to whether they would provide sufficient rigidity - but with hindsight I need not have worried.
Now the hull gets placed upside down on the jig in the hope that all the spars will align with the corresponding spanten.
As you can see this turned out fine! I really have to learn to trust the kit and the construction method! Only the tips of the spars are then glued to the bulkheads. After the planking has been completed, you could simply cut off the little spars and then remove the whole assembly from the jig.
And there you are! Verschansing on the starboard side is installed. Now it's just a case of cleaning off some of the lijmresten and a light sanding.
This whole process will be now be repeated on the Port Side, but that will have to wait until next week.
Thank you all for following and watching - your comments and thoughts are very much appreciated.

Interessante bouwmethode Heinrich. Het pakt heel mooi uit!
@Sjors Blomberg Baie dankie vir die compliment, Sjors. Ons is ook heel tevrede.
@Building Mouse Hello Maarten. It is indeed a very different kind of build - but that was the whole point - to do something new and learn along the way!
@Hoosterw Baie dankie, Hans. Ek sal vir Anna se.
