Hey Druxey, At the moment I am just laying in store and I havent totally decided yet, as you know I have been working in CAD on my own plans of Indefatigable but they are still a long way from completion, Maybe a different Frigate before tackling the Indy. Sorry Remco ben -
Thanks everyone and the likes. The 7 frames to go are only the square frames remaining, there is still a lot of work around the stern framing to be done and then all of the fairing and clean up work before the milestone is passed. Greg - I still don't have a finalized idea of how much planking will be done on exterior, I can say for certain that I won't be covering up much of the framing that I have worked so long to make, but still undecided.

Great to hear that you are back Aldo! Keep your chin up and carry on the excellent work on Triton. Ben

Looks like you have found a method for Chock making and fitting that works well for you. It took me a couple of different ways before I found one that I was comfortable with and gave good results. Looking really good Grant. Ben

Excellent work Pat. Ben

Received a copy of this beautiful book as a Christmas present from the Admiral, spent a few days reading and my compliments to David for yet another fine read. As said before it doesn't reitterate TFFM but it does build on and give more info and insights on building RN ships of that era, especially interesting is a breakdown of building quarter galleries which is an art of itself. I have placed on the bookshelf right next to my copies of TFFM. Wish mine was signed by the author as well. Ben

I love my Dewalt 788, very low vibration, large 20" table and I use Flying Dutchman Ultra reverse blades. Ben

Hey AP, I don't have a copy of SR, but I can recommend Allan Yeslinskys book available from Seawatch that has both Steel and SR comparison data. In some places you will find data missing in either or even both, and many times there are differences but it is still the best reference work that I have that includes both sets of data. Ben

Thanks all, Toni - you hit it! I intend to do just that before any more frames go in - thanks for the reminder. Greg - my Mentor gave me the same advice so I have already been compensating for creep with every square frame I put in, measuring from dead flat marks on keel to the face of every frame, changing thickness of fillers to achieve it. I've found as much as a scale inch that I've had to compensate for, room and space says they should be 4" but Ive had between 3" to 5" Ben
