tlevine Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share #1090 Posted November 22, 2016 I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted. Amazing how life gets in the way. I was finally able to get some work done this weekend. There is an iron knee connecting the transom with the inside of the hull. This is not a simple "L" shape. It needs to twist inferiorly to clear the undersurface of the quarterdeck half-beam. I made the knee out of castello and then painted it black. There is nothing unusual in the construction of the quarterdeck. There are no stanchions. The only carlings are related to the capstan step and the deck fenestrations. I find it easier to begin aft and work forward (ie narrow to wide) for better access. There are hanging and lodging knees for each beam except there is no hanging knee at beam 14 as this would have interfered with the quarter light. The framing above the sternpost appears to be at a different angle than the rest of the deck in the last picture. This is an optical illusion. The plans show the bulkhead on the fore side of the beam, not underneath. Because this is a laminated structure I glued a thin shim on top so it would look neater.

tlevine Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share #1099 Posted December 31, 2016 It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since my last update. Work on the quarter deck beams has been progressing very slowly but I hope to have them completed within the week.

tlevine Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share #1110 Posted January 2, 2017 Happy New Year's to everyone. Brian, I am using mica for my windows. Pat, I actually have put flexible scopes into the hold. There is a lot of sawdust down there! Druxey, the closest I would get to spars would be stub masts. I find rigging horribly tedious.
