Wow ! That is really coming along ! You have been hard at work ! It sounds like you got your spacing issue worked out which I'm glad to hear ! I didn't totally understand your description of what was occurring, but I did catch that you have a solution and I'm very glad for that. :)

no progress today. Our air conditioner for the house failed yesterday and it was quite warm in the house last night. So, I only got about 4 hours of sleep and I didn't think running power tools and working on something that requires one to think would be a prudent course of action. :) AC is fixed now, but have some meetings tomorrow and Wednesday. I'll try to sneak in a little time on her. :)

Was it clogged with ship building dust…LOL
 
Well, the ancient drill that I have in my ancient drill press gave up yesterday as I was trying to sand the inside of one of the frames... I have another drill I can mount in there (assuming it fits), however, it will require me to also make a new zero tolerance plate. So a slight delay. I have the outside edges of frames 1 through 14 beveled and test fit into the building frame. :) I might have to go back to building frames if I don't have scrap wood to use for the zero tolerance plate. Not that that's a problem. :D
I have also been mounting an additional wall cabinet onto the shop wall for additional storage which has caused an additional slight delay.

So, I had some challenges and setbacks, including some other household tasks that needed to get done, but I'm still at it. Here is a pic of the frames I have built and tapered. They are just placed in the construction jig. Not glued yet. These are frames 1 through 12. :) About 1/3 of the way through the full frames (non cant frames) And I got my new shop air filtration system installed (one of the tasks I needed to do)!

Nice and tidy Jeff.
Now that it’s finally stopped raining and warming up around here I can get outside for inevitable dusty sanding which I can only take in a couple hours installments.
That said the hull is fairing up and is starting to look like an actual ship.

Uh Tim... I think your ship capsized..... I didn't know you were building a diorama ! ROTF
Of course I'm kidding ! She is looking wonderful !
 
Back on to building frames. :) I started 15, 16 and 17 today. :)
These should go a little quicker because they don't have any bevel to them.
Although I still need to sand them.
I've found out that I can do the outside with the big spindle sander without having them explode on me. Then I do the inside on the drum on my drill press.
