Clever design of the kit makers and well executed by the builder. It looks very nice, Keith.

Thank you for your comments Peter. Very much appreciated

Looking great my friend !

Thank you Jeff

Perfect Keith. Oh boy all kits should include those jigs. I had many interesting moments trying to get my beams right....and as I build I am noticing some tiny deviations (nothing which is visibly noticable) but having that jig is a must. Kudos with your Enterprise, so far it is superb. Cheers Grant

Thank you very much Grant and you are not wrong, this is a superb kit

This file would never imagine in its life that it could be used as a clamp!
This idea is amazing!

I've even used a thick walnut woodstrip as a spring to avoid marring the stringer...

Today, I have finished installing the thick stuff and deck clamps. Not a job I have enjoyed I must say but I think it has worked out OK and is adding a bit more support to the ribs

You have a fine hull structure to build off of now.

You might not have enjoyed it (what I'm working on now), but you knocked it out of the park ! That looks beautiful !

That is looking very nice, Keith. They are nicely aligned on the inside against the frames.
