Getting ready in the workshop to start modeling again, humidity coming back into controllable range with my system, QA Barge just about complete and summer projects will be put away for Winter over next couple of weeks.

 

First thing on list is to mill some Swiss pear to correct dimensions to continue with lower deck framing.

 

Looking at the hull there has been absolutely no movement over the summer months - 😅

Lower deck framing continues up to beam no.9. This can be frustrating work to keep  everything correctly spaced and symmetrical, constant adjustments need to be made as well to account for drift.

Layout for the aft framing including the beam arms can be seen.

Ugh .. in card modeling we call this "error creep". I have suffered its dreaded effects on more than one occasion.

Ah! The dreaded 'cumulative error' factor! It's good to be constantly aware of that possibility. The framing so far look great, Ben.
