Nu står "hon" mer rätt!

so... Now she "right"

Vattenlinje enl. Jan W. måste lyfta henne...

Svetsar lite "ben"

& så har jag henne hemma

2 feb 2010 Lyfte jag av henne från "mallen"

And then she's fully dressed with steel! Well done I sead to my self...And pleased with the hard work

To make a 6 month story short, heres some pic's of the steelplating process. I did some template/pattern in woodenboards, and bring it to my work and cut out the bits. Then weld it on the hollidays/ weekends = slow process but stimulating to see "her" get dressed

Here's an early picture, I just tack welded the very first steelplate layer...

From the begining...

From the Begining, Ano 1997 My father bying a former Lots, Built at Holms in Helsingborg 1907. Called "Lill-Lots", and later re named "The Pirate"! This ol' wooden oak hull was laid up for its final rest in S. Vram.

My ide' was to use this beautiful hull as a plug, and put some steelplates around it...

heres a pic' from "when in use". At that time just as a motor driven boat, and with an ugly pilothouse, more of a fishingvessel kind of look. One of few saved photo
