I've completed the cat head support knees. They are multiple layers glued together and then shaped to fit the hull curves. It was not an overly complicated process. Just assemble per Chucks instructions. Then it's a lot of testing over and over until you get a good fit. There is a fourth head timber that needs shaping and then it's on to the head gratings and seats. I am going slow as it is the proper way but also to kind of prolong the end!

Hi Chuck, I finally got caught up looking at all the new information on a PC instead of my phone. The framing is stunning and your description makes it seem so deceptively easy. Much easier than scratch but still a lot of care and patience is required to produce results like yours. I really like the last set of windows too.

Hi Matt, I think because the scroll work has been placed on the outboard side the only thing you can do is either fill it or replace a portion of the clamp. For me I'd redo the clamp. I'm not sure where I'd make the cut though. It should be somewhere accessible where you can get to it in case you need a little filler and sand to hide the joint. If you think you can get a nice tight joint at the first beam then that's where I'd do it. If you have to use a little wood filler only you will know if you don't tell us. Trust me there's some on my Winnie!

I've made more progress on the head timbers and cover boards. Chuck kindly supplied two sets of timbers. My first attempt worked but they weren't as good as I would have liked so I did them again with the second set. After many many hours of adjusting and tweaking I'm happy with the results. Not perfect but the best head timbers I have ever done. Next I will be doing the cathead support knees and head gratings.

Thanks James. It's always kinda sad when something you spent years doing comes to an end. But then on the other hand it opens up the shop to new adventures. That's always something to look forward to.

Thanks Mike and Glenn. Yes a lot of patience needed. Especially with the head timbers. Just minor sanding, test fit, oh that looks good,set the second one in place, sand and adjust, now the first one needs adjusting again! And repeat repeat repeat! No shortcuts no big tips just a lot of patience. By the way did I say I'm not very patient.😅

I've finished the prep work on the main rails and they are just set in place until I get all the adjustments done on the head timbers. The head timbers have been preliminarily shaped and painted. Now the multiple adjustments need to be made prior to being added to the bow.
