Pillars were added between the keelson and deck beams.      The accommodation deck beams completed. Not sure yet whether or not to add deck planking to this deck or not. I have to determine how I want to finish this ship as far as showing the construction. I may just plank half of the main deck and completely plank the outside of one side of the ship.   | ||

I get away from reading on this forum, but when I return it is nice to see these notes as well as peek at what else is being done on this site. It is fantastic what is being planned and built. It is all very encouraging to know that this is something that I can do for many years. I wish I had started to do this back when my back and eyes were in much better shape! Todd | ||

Todd I know the feeling well! I have almost given up doing any more modeling because of physical problems. I need more light in the workshop, have to sit, not stand because of balance and back trouble, and altogether am dissatisfied with the very little I do. Tch! "golden years"?? I don't think so. Please keep on with the William Carson. Splendid job. Keith | ||
