Just don't measure.......
we are modelers. I'm surprised he is not using a micrometer to measure.
...I see. now I understand why they think we have problems, he should use a micrometer instead of a ruler
well, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He is probably a beginner and only has rulers and has not purchased a micrometer yet....I see. now I understand why they think we have problems, he should use a micrometer instead of a ruler
That will certainly be a golf course....so in about 10 years....ggggg
When we last visited with one another I was taking a little break to work on springtime chores and such. And while I'm happy to report that progress has been made on my list - I have also been 'blessed' by a few rain days which allowed me to enjoy some time in the shipyard along the way.
Before I could install the upper deck beams, I needed to complete the build-out of the lower deck. There are several features to fabricate, but it's been a while since I constructed walls/rooms so that's where I turned my attention...
The first job was to fabricate the component parts, beginning with wall and door blanks:
I then completed the doors and began putting the walls together. Several styles of doors:
And some preliminary wall/door panels that will eventually find their home at the front of the ship:
I made a special effort to reduce the size of my door hardware compared to those on the platforms below:
And I then turned my attention to the rooms at the back of the ship:
To be continued...

Thanks for stopping by! We're headed out of town for a wedding - and then back to work on my springtime chores. Hoping to report again in a few weeks...

Great work, no surprises here, as usual. Enjoy the wedding and springtime chores break!
Did you account for the highs of the wall counting the deck planks? I am sure you did, mon ami.

Wonderful work to your usual very high standard Paul. I see an Ultimation Slicer in that first photo. A really useful tool especially for quick set up and consistent cuts. Enjoy the wedding.
Good morning Paul. It is always a joy to view your work. I will pray for a few more rainy days for you….
. We need some rain down here, it has been a very dry winter so far which is never good for Cape Town. Cheers Grant
