The Frames cont.

This is the last photos of the frames being checked surprisingly enough the hull is the right length. The last frame took a little extra persistence.

You may have noticed the last few frames at the stern did not exactly line up with the bearding line so I made a template to trim them with. It still looks like I have a little more trimming to do once they are glued in place.

Mike,

Very nice work on the frames. You are certainly moving along at a fast pace.

Hi Mike, Looking really great! I like the batch sanding as well as the template for the bearding line. These are the little things that make all the difference. G

Gene,

Thank you I actually started the build June 6 but waited until I knew the frames would work before starting a build log. I didn’t want to get her half done and have to start over. My posts are about a week behind the current state of the model. She is still going a lot faster than most of my other builds.

Hi Gary,

The batch sanding is fairly accurate and saves some time although it doesn’t seem like it after you have been sanding for a couple of hours straight. LOL

The next set of photos shows the remaining frames to be installed and the installation of the first 16 frames. I used some 1/16” dowel rods to attach the frames to the keel.

The next set of photos shows all the frames installed on the keel. The hull is a very solid structure.

Instead of hawse pieces Portia Takakjian used small blocks of wood contoured to the ship. The first blocks I used were too thin and had to be removed and replaces with thicker ones. The second set fit a lot better.
