So I kicked off assembling the jig, the parts not required any sanding, they fit together as they are perfectly, using wood glue, clamps, and some weights

Hello, Mon Amie! This is the one I will definitely watch as I will start my build log pretty soon! It does look, it is a straightforward process, and you don't have any trouble assembling the initial jig. For those who might wonder, there is a total of three jigs. First for the upper hull, second for the lower hull, and the third one for the entire ship assembly.

Good luck, and Sail ON!

So that sounds like three logs and a fourth for the ship and all without a log jamb in the flow I suppose???
Fun every step of the way with three warm-up builds and one longer . . . much longer one. This will be interesting to follow. Rich (PT-2)

Zoly you are a busy man with three ships occupying the shipyard. The poor, poor Ontario! This one though, should be fascinating to watch as she comes together.

Those laser cut sheets of frames look like a parade of goose-stepping troops shoulder to shoulder. Your work is definitely getting them in place very well done. This is going to be interesting and I hope enjoyable for you. Rich (PT-2)

It is already enjoyable build,interesting design

 

[RogerD]

It’s a great neat start. That’s a lot of frames to sand, did you use something like a Dremel or sand by hand?

I used my Permagrit files and sanding sticks to refine them

 

[Maarten]

Hi Zoly, nice new very interesting project. Definately follow this one.

 

[zoly99sask]

So the repetitive process is continuing,sanding and fitting

You have my mind wondering where these frames are located in the hull???? Your careful sanding and fitting show a lot of patient work as you progress. This will be interesting to follow. Rich (PT-2)

 

[Uwek]

Looking very interesting - I will follow your log and details with high interest

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Slow and steady wins the race they say, your work is looking very good as you progress down the sides.

 

[zoly99sask]

The frames are not glued in place yet,just dryfitting,I will glue them one all of them ready
