Very nice Shota. Those knees are difficult to fit, and you've managed to get them quite close. And as someone who is also attempting to include dovetail joinery, I am well aware of how challenging it is. Well done.

Good evening dear friends
Over the weekend I installed (without gluing) the middle deck parts in the bow, including the grill and cooking oven.
It gives a good feeling that things are in place and working together.
Have a nice and enjoyable weekend.

Shota, I love the grill and oven. Bring on the steaks and baked potatoes! Magic Mike

Here, however, the parallelism between the beams of the first deck and the lower ones is very clear..... What happened?

hello my dear friend Ricci
Apparently the angles of the shots create an illusion or a feeling of incompatibility. In practice, I check the fit and that the parts are aligned.

Good evening dear friends
In recent days I have focused on making 5 different ladders for the ship.
First I scanned the drawing of the ladders and with the help of a laser cutter I created the different parts precisely. To create the grooves on the sides of the ladder and its steps, I used the Mf-70.
Ladder number 30 will be located between the upper deck in the bow and the middle.
Pay attention to ladder number 31 which is also different in shape in the steps of the ladder which are not rectangular but rounded at the front.
I am quite satisfied with the result. Good night dear friends

Good evening dear friends
In recent days I have focused on building the ship's bell stand located at the bow as well as the cover of the oven vent that goes out to the upper deck at the bow and under the bell stand. In fact, they fit together as can be seen in the impressive work of our friend Gympie65 (Ricci),
And whose work is an inspiration and a model for me.
Here too I combined several tools, including a laser cutter and even manual profiling with a razor knife For the roof of the stand .
By the way, the black handle of the bell was cut/burned from ebony.
For now, I have connected the parts on a jig to test the results; they will only be finally installed in advanced stages.
For the sharp-eyed among us , you may notice that the handle was installed in the photo on the reverse side
, which will be fixed in the future gluing on the deck.
I am quite satisfied with the results. good night and a happy Passover & Easter to all of us.
