Yes, many ships designed for work in ports and shipyards had massive fenders on the outside of their sides.

Good morning Jeff. Wow I missed your birthday by some margin. I hope you had a wonderful day and was spoilt a little. Cheers Grant

Thanks Grant, I appreciate it. My wife gave me permission to work out in my shop as much as I wanted on my birthday. So, all the bow cant frames are in place now (except for the formost bow piece which is attached to the hawse pieces before being attached to the hull).

Have a great year Corsair.

As promised earlier, here is the pic of the hull frames with the bow cant frames installed and the inside of the hull cleaned up.
Next is the construction of the aft cant frames.

Great work Jeff, most impressive.

Thank you all for your kind comments and all the likes.
I've now got the building jig moved over to reside on the router table while I build out the aft cant frames.

Way to go Jeff. She is looking lovely. Nothing like a POF picture to make the heart swell. Cheers Grant

Little update. about done with beams for now, will cut rest for carlings finish sand. Still trying to identify waterways along edges, not ID'd anyplace.
Seems to help moving with alternative construction at this stage.....soon back to build out rear platform and button up rest of lower deck.
