You are doing well,there is no hurry,the slower you go and think thru everything the better your results will be.
 
Well, frame pieces are cut, rough sanded, and ready to square and glue up.
Also selected and cut oak(I believe), for the keel. Bearded the center frame. Will get out the shopvac tomorrow, but for now, Enough for tonight. Happy building to all!

I really admire anyone that can take a set of plans and scratch build. In this case, I think you are doing a superb job. I plan to visit the Constitution one day. I was up there visiting my wife's family (in DC), and unfortunately, the ship was in restoration with Cannons and Yards all over the place removed. Ship evidently shut down for visits. I would love to make it back up there before this year is up.

Bel proverbio. Saluti !

Donnie,
I hope you get a chance this year. It’s clean!
Thanks!
 
I downloaded a digital set of the Constitution plans to my iPad. It gives me instant access to study, make notes and ‘try’ to plan out the process steps. Interpretation of brief drawing notes only, is challenging. Therefore, research in the way of videos, internet and Most importantly, my companions at SOS, cannot be understated. Thanks!!
The APP utilized on the iPad (pictured) is ‘Notable’. It allows for highlighting and hand written notes for ready reference. An inexpensive stylus is all that is needed.E668EFB2-E6D2-475A-86BF-3E00BA6F584B.jpeg
