I'm on a roll with these deck support beams. I have concentrated on the multi piece beams which are nice because you can cut a clean notch to receive a carling piece prior to glue up.



This disk sander is now my buddy! WOW, in a few seconds I can shape a multi angled deck beam to fit the hull shape saving me hours of hand sawing and filing.
I have the unit hooked up to my 2.5 gal. shop vac leaving no notable wood dust in my shipyard.



Oh and here is a picture of Dean giving me expert tips on modeling. I'm looking forward to featuring some of his blood wood strips on the upper portions of the deck.



Thanks for watching.

Ship looks great…me not so much…
I must have been saying, “ …and if you organize those coffee cans by height…”
I enjoyed hanging out, getting some wood cut, and talking shop.
