Sometimes a few minutes here and there is all it takes to make progress.

I had to stop and double check my measurements (good thing I did...) And needed to route the frame adjacent to the main mast.

The one about the foremast will need to be built up in two parts with an offset cross member to accommodate.

Don't quite see what you mean but I think you did not plot the athwartship dimensions for that frame correctly? Anyway glad to see you are sticking with it. Nice to see you are using hand tools---I have not seen that hand router tool for many a year. Not in ship modeling that is.

Hi Keith,
There are 2 bulkheads in the middle that are straddling the station line in lieu of being on one side or the other.
As far as the routed bulkhead, keep in mind I am working strictly from line drawings. I do not have construction drawings to go with it.
Suppose that I was doing plank-on-frame, this wouldn't be a problem since I would build up the step on top of the frame.
But even in this kind of build I prefer my mast to go as far down as possible.

Eureka! Now I see. I have big trouble seeing POB builds, I suppose because I have only done POF, except "Effie". I think there is just as much work and thought involved in both types.
