Only small things. Foremaststep, the first stanchion and a 50 precent from a small deck.

Nice work on things, keep them coming for us to see.
The support for the thin beams for the half poop -deck are done. The supportwoods was a little bit tricky, but with patience it works. I fixed all beams in the hull for the shaping and marked the positions for the carlings, hatches, the two mastpartner and the dovetails from the waterway. Now i will remove the breams and mill all the notches.
All notches are done. First dry assembly of the hatches. I think the dovetails and the overlaps fits well, the final shape i will do when i assemble the deckbeams with the hull.
26 Knees, 52 dovetails and 304 bolts done.
Absolutely love the scarf joints! Very accurately made! 
Thanks Jim 
Hallo my friend, very accurate work - your learning curve is getting steeper and steeper.....
Two questions:
green arrow - are these blackened brass round bars?
red arrows - how do make these notches? please explain (if possible in detail)

Thanks, my friends for the kind word and the Thumb-ups
The bolts are brass. I used the Andrey/Dr.Mike Technique with the knife for that.
For the dovetails i used the milling machine. There is no difficulty. Its only important
to mark the dovetail with a view on the entire deckplanking and the deckbeam shelf.
