Yes Preparation Prepaeration Preperation"Just as the old saying goes: Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. So rest easy, focus on your recovery, and everything will work out."
With TiteBond (now)Thanks.
My only comment here is that the original builder used very primitive tools and Adze marks would have been on the Frames Not Highly polished
Look at any model in the Naval Academy collection, tells me everything I need to know.
I am not saying not to get it smooth just wondring how polished it shoiuld be
Several world class builders finish with 600-800 grit paper for a nice “sheen”.
Thanks Gunther.Hey Jeff,
Get well soon. A pulled muscle is always unpleasant. Your build is really impressive.
Cheers
Günther
I'm just beginning to start frame #30 out of the 37 straight frames. Then I start all the cant frames. 
Pictures, Jeff! We're starting to think you aren't really building this ship modelConstruction of the frames continues.
I still need to work out what I'm going to do for spacers between the frames too.
.
LOL ok.. its just more frames that are going onto the keel. It pretty much looks the same. They are not glued to the keel yet, just a convenient place to store them all.Pictures, Jeff! We're starting to think you aren't really building this ship model
I'll get a picture on here of it aftter I finish sanding the inside of the current batch of frames I'm working on. What are KERFS please JeffLooking good. Coming together really well Jeff. I shall be starting work on the stern deadwood and keel parts tomorrow, bearing in mind your comments about the misnumbering of the parts. Although a very minor issue and easily worked out, I've found this is a very common occurrence with these PoF kits. It's been no problem . . . yet

Thanks Richard.. I meant I need to figure out what wood to use since I don't have spare other than from the current kit.
wondered if it was a typo Kerf "Keef" but thanksThanks Richard.. I meant I need to figure out what wood to use since I don't have spare other than from the current kit.
A kerf is the slit that is made from a saw blade. If there is a ship nomenclature for it, I can't think of it off hand.
yeah, I saw that. I don't know if that means that is what the strips in the kit are for, or if they can be made from the scrap from around where the other parts are.Does this help

Hi Richard,
The fillers should be 1mm and 2mm strips from the laser cut sheets. You can cut them to appropriate length and place them between the frames. They are not like the fully filled type that we had on Blandford.
Kind regards,
Victor
I still have 8 more straight frames to build, then I start on the cant frames. I've also been messing around with the hawse pieces some, trying to get a handle on how best to build them .
That is looking very good, Jeff. It’s time consuming but you have a steady pace.So, Paul (@dockattner ) asked for pictures, and I don't blame him. Here are a few pics of the construction jig with frames 1 through 29 resting on the keel. They are not glued yet and I have not put in any of the spacers between the frames.

I hope you enjoyed the pics.
Thank you.
