Just a small update. Started doing a little of the sanding...time is getting tight since the warm weather has moved in...Gardens and yard work loom ahead, have to get all the mowers and tractors going taking away from the cross section . So here are a few pictures of where I am at............. Took measurements from the plans and transferred to the frames Marked each frame for the flat to be sanded Made up a sanding stick with 100 grit long enough to reach from end to end so sanding would be equal for each frame Pencil marked each frame to gauge when I had sanded down to make the frames level with each other Check with a straight edge to make sure was sanding evenly Also used the keesson to check Once this is sanded to suit me I will replace the temporary block between the frames with the permenant cherry wood. So back to sanding and yard work.....

Very nice accomplishment Frames are looking great. -
Thanks for checking in. All the frames are raised and in place. The next job will be to fair the frames, hope there is enough meat on the frames for this. Here's a few pictures of my progress to date. Just had to take it out of the jig to see how it looked. Surprised how strong the frames are already... Time to start sanding....sanding...sanding....

As stated before I am treenailing as I go. Since I am at a larger scale I am going with a larger treenail for holding power than the scale calls for. They are about .047 dia. and 5/8" long. With 2 per frame at a slight angle (like an X) should provide a strong joint. Here is the first frame standing on it own Drilling the holes with my flex shaft on the dremmel Holes drilled Next installed treenails with diluted glue

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
