Le Rochefort build log by OlivierF

The shipyard has reopened for construction! Well, actually, Deconstruction!
While doing other projects, I took the opportunity to review Adrien’s book and realized that I was tapering my stern ceiling planks way more than they should be.

Per the above photo the planks don’t appear to taper at all. My error was that I scaled the planks from the drawings on plate 6 and 7 not accounting for the two-dimensional aspect of the drawings. :rolleyes:Cautious

Anyway, I’ve spent the morning removing the incorrectly tapered planks and will now try again…

Two steps forward and one step back! Tomorrow I’ll start replacing the planks I tore out.
Fair winds everyone!
 
Well, the shipyard will be closed for a while…
Shoulder replacement surgery went well but now my arm is immobilized for a few weeks at least.

Happy Easter everyone.
Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! Glad to hear the surgery went well, now just focus on healing up. The shipyard will be ready and waiting when you're back in action. In the meantime, take it easy and let the crew here keep the waters warm for you! Happy Easter.
