the recess on the lodging knees are still not prepared - important is here a parallel orientation of the carlings and ledges

That's a lot of parts Uwe,Hallo friends,
many many thanks for all your kind words and comments - and also for all the likes received - it is a great community here in SOS
the deck structure works is like making the frames or hull planking - it seems, that it is never ending
Today some (maybe boring) photos of the ongoing beams, carlings, ledges, lodging knees work .....
at the end there will be around 300 wooden parts installed with appr. 300 copper "bolts" inserted
