Hello again friends. I started my new project two months ago. I used Aeropiccola's Essex kit plan to cut the bulkheads and the bulkheads former. Because the plan is not so detailed I am mostly following Portia Takakjian's AOTS of Essex.

I am now sharing what I have done so far and will continue to post pictures as I make progress.

Hallo Mustafa,
Many Many Thanks for starting this building log - great to see the progress on this model

Because the plan is not so detailed I am mostly following Portia Takakjian's AOTS of Essex.
do you have also this book with plans?
Maybe no real need, due to the fact, that she published the Anatomy book after this one
 
I just recognized this small tool in one of your photos.
A very simple , but very clever idea to keep the distance of the treenails constant Thumbsup

And I can see, that you are also drilling the holes by hand (like me) - Looking very good :cool:
