Kroum, as always, a pleasure to learn with you. I have yet to be bored or unsatisfied. Thank you!

[@lidialidia6981]

Thank you so much 👍 good luck 💙💛✌️

[@davidlund5003]

Thanks.

Safe travels and great adventures, Kroum. Sundays will be a bit different for a bit.

As someone who has struggled not to use stealers and drop planks, but failed and felt bad about it, I certainly appreciated this video! As for appropriate plank width, I try to study surviving ship contracts for the era and area the ship was built, ideally from the same yard. That of course is no guarantee the vessel was built the same way.

Wonderful little video, thank you! Did you see the new video-series over att the Wasa museum cannel, featuring (of course) Fred Hocker? Nothing new to you, but very nicely done. Kind regards from Sweden

Thank you for another informative video. Do you know of ships that used planks coming to a sharp tip during the 17th and 18th centuries? How old are the ships you witnessed such a method of planking? How did they fix the thin part of the plank to the hull?

[@pitanpainter2140]

Thanks, I wasn't aware that stealers were used in real vessels.

[@andreastimper9848]

Of course they were used! How would you have dealt with the curves of the bow and stern otherwise?

[@Pocketfarmer1]

Good stuff a usual. I find it mildly ironic that working underwater is “in the field”. That aside , were you issuing a challenge or an open invitation to join you in your work ,1:51 ,(come with me in the field)?

[@Calatriste54]

Models need to reflect real practices at scale. I admit this subject has baffled me to the point of switching back to WWII aircraft. Nevertheless, still a ship modeler at heart..

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

With proper research and care in making parts, they can. The application of rectangular planks to a hull with complex 3-D curves takes practice, and one has to be willing to suffer a few setbacks to get to the place where a hull looks acceptable, so take heart. Patience is paramount. Best wishes and a toast to your future success!
