  1. Thank you druxey. I continue with the planking of the stern. First it was necessary to make another rather complicated part defining the extension of the sides at the stern. The part is "shaped" in all three axes and the production is quite complex.
  2. Thank you guys. To Chris - I don't like the black caulking between the planks to be too prominent, so the caulking here is created only by blackening the edge of the plank with a pencil so that it is not too prominent. The only exception is the planks on the decks, where the caulking is created with black paper. Here this color contrast makes a bit more sense (at least from my point of view). I continue by planing the "thicker" part of the bow.
  3. I decided to finish the outer planking above the wales first before installing the interior equipment. The first thing I had to do was cut out the holes for the gunport and oars.
  4. Installation of deck beams. Before other installations and bulkheads are installed, the deck beams are fixed with an auxiliary fixture.
  5. To No Idea - Vectric programs can read DXF files. So it is necessary to have a CAD program available in which I draw what I need to mill and save such a drawing in DXF format. I then load it into Vectric's Aspire program and then create the milling data there.
  6. Thank you guys . To properly position the deck beams, it is advisable to already have some of the structural elements that will be part of the decks. I started with main bitts and standarts and jeer-bitts.
  7. Hi No Idea, at Le Gros Ventre I made Samson's post using a shape cutter. Here it's completely CNC - the result is nice . I continue with the deck beams in the lower front part of the hull. These deck beams will be attached to the inner planking on one side, on the other side, where the frames are cut out, the ends of the deck beams will be in the air, which makes their installation somewhat complicated. I made an auxiliary jig for this purpose.
  8. Thank you guys, the deck beams are ready for later installation so I started with the internal installations. The foremast step was the first to come.
