Hi Paul,Thanks for all the ideas on carving the Rabbet, I also read in Frolich's The Art of Ship Modeling that he used a v shaped gouge to carve his rabbet. So I ordered a 1.5mm one, and will practice on scrap to see how it goes. In the meantime....always more frames to build!!

Ok, I will try the scraper route, thanks!Hi Paul,
Believe me scraping offers you much more control then carving. A chisel wants to follow the wood grain, and a wood grain is not straight.
Scraping is not doing this and if you have a proper guidence of your scraper it will give you a much better result.
Good morning Paul. All looking spot on and ready for action. Awesome. Cheers GrantHave completed all the mid to stern frames(Beveling and Sanding needed). Have asked Tom at CAF to provide some more detail in the construction of Frame 58.

Good morning Paul. Precise work. This is what scares me about these POF models, the precision one has to achieve. I know sometime I have to try one but kudos to you and the other guys here who pull these off. Cheers GrantRainy day here....got some frames installed. Starting from the Bow and Stern and working toward the center, seems easier to install that way. Only beveled exterior of frames to be able to fit into and give snug fit in Jig. Final exterior bevel will happen outside the jig when I can use battens. PS: Had to move the screws toward the outside of the jig to give more tension to the Rubber bands....Learning experience....
