The problem was also on the starboard end which was out to much. After getting the port end sorted i beefed up the support on the port side by adding a stiffener, then used a clamp to pull in the starboard end to the correct position on the plan, then i took out the blow dryer and heated the starboard end back into the correct position based on the plan. After it cooled, it held its position. Leaving the clamp in place i restuck the stern. It worked. Thank you Greg. Please continue to keep an eye on the Thorn. -
I fixed the YouTube problem. Seems it made a change to key setting on its own. Not sure how that happened but I have corrected the feed. Back to the correction on the stern, I will have completed reinstalling the stern this evening. This time it is PERFECT. thank goodness. The inners are installed. once the glue dries I will instal the middle counter timbers.

The error was on the port stern end that had come in too much. I have since sanded it down so both ends are now equi distance. Ill take a breath. Remake the transom piece. Establish the center line and then cut the mortises. Yea, that Greg fella is a pain. Thank goodness. This would have been horrible to fix later on. Thanks. K

Now working on the swivel guns and the swivels in particular. This is my first attempt. Also yesterday the new Ipad pro arrived along with some new toys for the shop. The solder past will be essential in building the cannons and fitting the monograms. I have wanted to upgrade my soldering iron for a long time.

Just did a count and found there are 70 individual pieces that make up a cannon and it’s stand not including the tackle used to hold it in place. I decided to only use 30 pieces.
