Geno H.M.S. Enterprize Build Log

[Geno]

I guess I’m in for a GB. My Kit arrived yesterday (the 18th). Took a look last evening. Not too much info relating parts to the plan. Hunted around the kit today & found all of the keel & deadwood parts & punched them out & layed out the keel system. Lucky I know my way around a set of plans especially a set as basic as this. Nothing seems to relate from what plans there are to the parts sheets. It’s going to be a fun build!

Geno,
Fast work finding all the pieces and laying them out.. I bet you have spent the last few days cleaning them out, fitting, and glueing them. Fun..

Hi guys
I spent the last few days cleaning up parts & pieces and gluing up the backbone of Enterprize. While working on it I noticed a few things of minor importance.
(1) on step 14 item g1-11 is omitted in the instructions.
(2) you can build up the aft deadwood but you need to wait installation until the foreward deadwood is glued up and installed. The foreward portion of keel mates into the fore deadwood along with the frame spacers moving from foreward aft. When this is all installed the aft deadwood is falls into place at the aft end of the frame spacers then the aft frame spacer/ seats (the sawtoothed pieces) can safely be installed.Anyway after all is said and done my completed backbone
measures out to be 32 15/16 inches in

Thanks for your concern. It’s just summer in the North Country; golfing, mowing my huge lawn, reading on the deck etc.
have been working on my Enterprize off and on…all frames have been installed and faired and the aft part of the hull is glued in and am installing the stringers at this time. Weather has been great so have halted operations to enjoy it.

Glad to hear you're ok and you're just having a great time.
