[Paul L]

Hi Paul,
Makes my woodwork look like firewood LOL!!

Don't say that Martin, we all have to start somewhere, and mines not yet perfect. Practice makes perfect.

Fitted lower beam shelves but not really happy with them, I think my hands are too big for fitting inside Bluenose hull, anyway here is the video. Not much done this week, I had a double vaccination of Flu and covid booster at the same time, yesterday I felt like I had both viruses

 

[Heinrich]

I trust you will be feeling better soon, Paul!

 

[Martin555.]

I hope you are feeling much better now Paul.

I'm glad for the few of you who are building and posting concurrently with me, helps me plan my work as I see what you guys do.

You made a nice steady progress on the inside of your BN, Paul. It’s working in a narrow space, but step by step, beam by beam and nail by nail, your lower floor construction is now done.
Regards, Peter.

There's definitely too little room for our hands to work comfortably inside the hull.
Unfortunately for us, Bluenose addicts: it's a fact of life...

Hi Paul L, I am following you and love how much detail you go into on your video's, It's great to see every step along the way. You HMS Victory in the background, what kit and scale is that? looks fantastic. Keep posting those videos, and help the less skillful lol.

 

[Paul L]

Victory is the DeAdostini 1:84 model, and thank you.

Onwards and upwards. So tricky working inside the hull, especially if you have 5 thumbs on each hand like me
Video 11 already.

 

[RDN1954]

Very tidy looking framework.

You have a nice steady pace with the deck beams, Paul. Looking good with some nice pictures.
Regards, Peter

 

[Jimbo]

Following you're videos Paul. you make things look so easy ! haha Bluenose#54 is not looking anywhere as neat, but I keep trying

 

[Heinrich]

Very good progress Paul. It is such a pity that I cannot follow the videos, but the pics look super neat!

Hi Heinrich,
Why can't you watch the videos?

 

[Heinrich]

A combination of Google/YouTube and China!

 

[Paul L]

Beams going in nicely but half beams have no numbers. Having said that I should have checked more carefully than I did, it would have saved having to take them all out again. lesson learned.

Yes I know there is one beam out of place, but now corrected.

Hi Paul,

A bit late now, but I numbered all frames, both on the top view drawing and the frames. I also numbered all deckbeams, again on the drawing ánd the parts. This helped me tremendously, but not without a near heart attack at the Samson post location. Here I thought I had it wrong… I got lucky though.
I also marked the centerline of the deckbeams and used a small diameter line between bow and stern to have a physical centerline reference. Both numbers and the centerline marks were very helpful.
