Fabulous work.
Hello all,
I’ve attached clamp sized to suit down leg of knee. I’m now studying both the main deck and lower deck layout. I’m cutting out the beams , ledges, carlings , mast partners and bagging them up .
I’m also studying the layout of cabins / rooms below deck and will , for my first effort, add them to this build.

The first deck unit ( minus the ledges ) has been glued together and dry fitted to clamp .
As each are placed on the clamp I’m making a mark below on the inside frames to note location of lower deck. The photo shows a piece of thread running at centerline of ship and all deck members.

This is just a wonderful project! So much skill and wonderful craftsmanship. A woodworker's tutorial. 
Thank you for your kind words.This is just a wonderful project! So much skill and wonderful craftsmanship. A woodworker's tutorial.
Rick, a very nice tutorial and excellent presentation! Great build! Magic Mike
Thanks to you and the others for your encouraging words.
Hi Mavrick,
I am a beginner at this, and I see the frames you have made using the template. How did you make the template, cut from your drawings supplied by Dave, or did you photocopy them?
Thanks Rick,
That made my nerves relax a bit. I was thinking that once you slice into the drawings with a pair of scissors, your chance of proofing is lost. Did you copy it on your home scanner or a specialized printing service?
Anyway, I have a few questions about your model, and if you cannot answer here, you can always private message me.
Question 1: Did you experience any warping or narrowing of the hull once you cut it away from what I call the "Lofting Plate"?
Question 2: Have you or any other model shipbuilders watched the video I found on the net, and what are your Impressions about it?
. Are there any videos on SOS showing a similar method and or improvement to Harold Hahn's method?
Regarding Question 2, I noticed that when he places the Body Plan on each end (I assume), the opposite end Body Plan would need to be printed in an inverted orientation. Is that possible?
I am sure Dave from the Lumberyard could help us all out in this field.
Regards
Gary
