Hi Greg what do you think about Toni point. See my response to him here. Hi Toni Just saw your post. I was under the impression that all comments were sent directly to me . Either i missed youe email response or i did not get it. Your point is very interesting. In fact as i look at the plan of the Thorn i see a lot of differences. The frame 2,9,14F,11F, there is a light line drawing added after the plan was drawn, suggesting that these frames go all the way to the railing. There ar two missing timber head at the back but again light pensil marks??? At the front section the plan has one addition timber head.. What is your openion about the light line drawings.? Also not sure which frame you felt is shifted. Is it 7Aft and 11 aft? Best regards Kevin -
Not sure how to post pictures but i have been following the Thorn plan as per Gregs suggestion. The forwar section has one additional timber head while the stern is short two timberheads although you can see some light drawing on the actual print. Maby Greg could comment on this?

Hi Greg, Thanks for the feedback. I did have to chisel a few of the heels of the cant frames to get them to fit on the 20" step. The first one was made from oversize stock which resulted in my using a slightly thinner frame for #2 to fit and that was even after reducing the foot on #1. Anyway it works and only you and i will know what i did. The spacer blocks are all different sizes, I suppose that may be because of the different angles at the foot? Although the frames installation was much better. I spent time trying to aline the tops and the jig really helped but i still find it difficult to understand why the variance in height along the length of the frame between some of the frames on either side?The only variable could be the height of the step. In terms of the PDF files, I did get the CDs of the frames but this never works so I am photocopying the plan to make copies. I am not sure how to get the PDF at this stage. I actually purchased all the books plans etc way back in 2008 and only started the build last year. Too much work and not enough time to do what i wanted to do. I do have one question. What is the finish thickness of the frames? I just can't seem to find that anywhere. Must be there somewhere. best regards Kevin

Hi Red I have to say that this model from Caldercraft is one of the best kits i have ever purchased and built.i think you will enjoy the build. Should the need arise feel free to ask any questions. Once i can remember i will be happy to assist. The main purpose of making the videos was to help others in future builds. Best regards Kevin
