I cant remember as that was so long ago. I still say the key is the location of the beams. The photos i shared give you a good idea of the correlation. Looking back at the notes that i sent you it is clear that i was estimating the measurements above the main deck. They should have given us the measurements. I have it as 27” above the main deck. This is why today i have a written log so i can tell you why and what i did. -
On my model the Top of the pin is .101 the top of the cross piece is .42 one of the best investment i made was to buy the 3D images frim Admarility models. It allow you to visualize everything in much more detail.

Video 64 again discusses issues with the bitts and their location to the beam. I have a feeling I remade it at this point in time.

just went back in the build to page 8 of the build log Video 50, time 7.33 discusses the same issue you are having. it seems what I did was make up the bottom slots for the beam and as I added the beams made the adjustments in the pins. ill look again and see if there is any other reference

Harry this was quite a while ago and the pieces are now stuck in the model. I made a number of mistakes until I got the beams installed.once the beams are installed you can make the measurements off your model. If you look in my draw you’ll see the results my many mistakes. I think because everyone’s model is slightly different they did not give detail dimensions. I remember having lots of discussions with Greg on this . It was after this I started keeping a written log.

Henry the key was to install the deck beams and then follow the plan.ill check the videos as i know its covered

Every time i tried to do something like you have done i find the only way i can make them is to simulate them. Mine are not functional like yours . You are a master sir. I have long thought of going to work in a jewelry shop. I did have a friend build a spot soldering machine for me but it did not work that well. I should have forked out the $600 and purchased it directly. Keep up your fantastic internal work. kevin

The details are fantastic. Perhaps slightly out of scale but at these sizes its almost impossible to get this absolutely right. In many cases if the scale was correct i don't think the pieces could be built. One of the models i submitted recently for judging, one of the points i was heavily criticized for was as the hole size for the seine in the boat was too small. It was the best i could find, and yes it was smaller than the real size for the seine , but the only other option was to leave the seine out all together. It was a fishing boat that used a seine so i am not sure what sense that would have made. i am rambling. Makes me wish i had done this with the Thorn.

Its wonderful to see your handy work Michael. I have kept away from metal work so far but would love if someone would share their knowledge in this area. I always wondered how those brass wind scoops or air ventilators were made. My guess its some extension to what you have done here.
