Are the 3D barrel files available on line?
i modeled the barrel files myself. I can share if you want. Let me know.
This is the barrel that I found on line. However, I had to glue a piece on the bottom for the swivel.
If you can post your file on line, I would like to have a copy. It would make building any further Smashers much easier. The above was built out of poplar for the decking and chestnut for the other parts. Thanks much for your reply. Your work is really great. I might try my hand at a double one.

good job.. 
I like the Popular decking, I'll probably use that for mine. Where should I post the fires ? Is there a place here to post it or PM me with your email address and I'll send it you..

here is a quick sketch of the updated platform. more to follow
here is the upgraded platform. More pix later after I add the decking. What do you think ? Should I change or add anything ?
I like it...it looks great!
now that Michigan has locked us down until mid April, I'll have some time to hopefully get started on this. This is where the CAD model stands. Just need to finish up the hatch area. I think. Any other suggestions.
finished the hatch... 
It is looking better and better. I need to start thinking of the wood to use.
I hope you plan to leave off some of the planking to show the deck framing details!
Yep, just need to figure out where the appropriate viewing windows would show the details. Cardstock will my friend at that time, I can print the planking lines on it and trim it from there.
I also had a question. Would it make sense to put a couple of scarph joints on the hull planking (just for additional detail) as in the 'borrowed' image? maybe in Wale's plank.

A hooked scarph in the wales always looks good!
thanks.. and so it shall be
I was putting on CAD this morning then printed it. What do you think?
Well, the weather finally warmed up and I finished the spring yard work. I got the wood cut for the rubs for the model. There planks 1 1/8 inch wide x 1/2 inch thick.
I'll start cutting them out in the morning

Will you make plans available for others.
