Your framing is looking very good - I think you are on a very good way

Hello Uwek
Thank you for your kind reply. I work with the thought of trying to keep everything in line, symmetrical , level.
Building a model such as this is a challenge to me planning ahead , thinking how each piece I place now impacts future .
I keep many pieces of paper for notes and reminders and sometime sketches to assist me.
I enjoy the process and adding these posts to possibly help others .

Hello everyone
Today I glued the keel assembly to the full frames. I also removed the front angle supports. I will be doing more sanding and fairing inside then glue keelson .
The half frames are next. Like the full frames I’ll
Use the milled stock to make patterns to attach
Templates of half frame drawings.
Regards to you all
Rick

Hello all
I’ve been busy making the wood patterns that hold the half frame templates. I have 5 more wood patterns to receive frame templates. After that it’s time to start cutting out each set and fit to jig and ship.
Take care

Today I cut out last half frame. The ones in the photo will be first group to be attached to jig and ship towards stern. I need to attach keelson prior to this.
Take care
Rick

Current group of half frames dry fit to check progress . 3 sets of frames left at stern. Starting fairing before gluing .
Take care

All frames present and accounted for. Enjoying the fairing process. A little at a time. Fairing started on outside of full frames 1-4.

The process of making full and half frames from milled stock is a good step up for me. I’m enjoying this process and have learned a lot Perhaps it might help others as I have learned from others here.

I’m working on timbers at bow, gap along stem . Two added with third to come. Started sanding to bring everything into line.

In the process of setting the last frames at stern I noticed the spacing of frame 36 to 39 wouldn’t give the last frame ( 40 ) to transom relationship what it needed.
I ended up re-doing 36 thru 39. It moved the back end of f40 closer to transom.
See plan elevation drawing vs model.
My little sketch plan shows how to f40 to transom will end up .

The inside sanding with 80g has the frames near ready for next grit. I’ve been spending time this morning on outside of frames at stern.
Desk lamp helps me see how it is looking. Port side underway with starboard to follow. Still reducing frame “x” on where it meets deadwood.

Once frames are faired I’ll be looking at transom and stern timbers , attachment of Wales and clamp.
For now ,frame by frame they are brought into line. She is taking shape.
Thank you for for stopping by this build.

hello to everyone here
I’ve been concentrating on the stern construction. I’ve added the transom and stern timbers plus the horizontal pieces that define the stern gun ports. I also enclosed the outside space from the stern timbers to the last frame.
Everything needs sanding to prepare for Wales and planking.

 

[MavRick]

Ive added planking on stern timbers ( pear wood and boxwood ) and molding between ( steamed pear wood). Trimming of two openings has been started. Next I’ll be adding filler pieces along frames for gun ports and other locations as needed (see drawing ) .

I see you're using the actual Hahn method. I used it for only cutting out my frames on my Le Rochefort and wasn't happy at all. The joints weren't in the right place and the bottoms of the frames at the keel I tried to short cut and not mill the proper rabbets. It was a disaster. In the drawing the Dave made it seems the joints are in the right place. Is that correct ?
