    Thank you all.
    The work will resume with more strength since my son came from Barcelona for four weeks to gave me a hand. I am very glad of that, and today we already started by cleaning the mess in the shop and also preparing the side planking. The creosote oil of the inside planks are going full speed, thanks to the very efficient brush stroke of my son.
    I am preparing the cheeks on the side of the stem, giving more area for the planking to land.
    I will make some picture, my camera didn't work today, a friend of mine will be coming with his camera.
    Daniel

    Ditto. As I've said before, this is one of the threads I always look for when I log into the forums.

    My son Sebastian and myself are working to prepare the side planking.
    It will take some days, but now we are almost ready and by Thursday we should be able to start.
    The weather is with us for the moment, we are very lucky.
    this is some pictures:

    I am positioning the stem cheeks, giving more area for the end plank to be fastened

    It seems you have a fine son. Give him a pat on the head from us for helping his dad.

    This is some pictures of the side planking in the making.
    They are soaked for 48 hours on kerozene and pine tar.
    The plank at the chine is not faired, it will be faired at the end.
