Looking good Mark. Can't wait to see all the carlings in place!

Patrick,
I used a ball mill and the mill with my fixture for doing profiles. I think I posted this once before but here it is again.
Hi Vivian,
Thanks for the comment and it's great to see you back. I hope you can get back to your models.

Hi Mark
A minor update, but it shows just how useful the Death Star is for you. I bet there are no regrets in buying it.
Also, silly question time - but how did you do the profile for the waterway plank?
Cheers
Patrick

Minor update to show that all is not folly and folderol...
The waterways are completely in and the beams marked with the centerline, the carling locations for hatches and mast partners, and also for the line where the center thick stuff will end and the normal deck planking begins. (See the first photo).
I also ran a test using cutoffs from the beams, I made a "fixture" for lack of a better word. I cut some 1/8" cherry and tacked it to the beams to see if there's any issues using the laser to cut the planking. Nope... even leaves a nice black line for the caulking (see the last two photos) and with care, I should have some better planking than if I tried to sand/plane in the taper, etc. . Also there's a bit of waterway to show the profile.
Tomorrow (or however long it takes) will be devoted to cutting and fitting the carlings.

FINALLY!
A pic of the final ratline clove hitch!
FYI - That is clove hitch number 2,872!
I know, it's a little blurred, but I'm tired and ready for a cold beer celebration.

The best laid plans of mice and men... an Admiralty meeting. We discussed progress and plans then "if I can't see it, why do it? You'll save a couple of months, right?". "Err.. yes. But I want to do it because it's there. I'll know it." Well, so much for argument. It's her ship and I'll do it.
Lol, boy are we cut from the same cloth! She's right, they usually are . Beautiful work Mark!
Question; How tight does the framework sit in that jig and at what point do you to remove it?

Thank You
The bowsprit guys were also served their entire length. Thimbles were seized into the end of each. I used .025 brown rope for these. There are two of these and both were made at the same time to ensure they came out the same length. As mentioned earlier I am using dark brown for the standing rigging.
The forward end have hooks fashioned from 24 gauge black wire. This is hooked to the eyebolt at the bow. The other end has a lanyard that stretches across to an eyebolt in the hull.

Dave,
My wife and I send prayers of recovery and healing. Even with your home safe, there is a wounding that comes with surviving. The lose of a friend and the injury to your community are your lose as well. Sometimes people think all is well for those who's homes still stand. But your community is your home. God bless you and yours.

Thanks for looking in, the comments and the "likes".
As this is being written, waterways are going in and the center deck, carlings for the hatchways, and the center thickstuff areas are being marked out. Still thinking of pre-cutting the planking on the Deathstar instead of shaping each plank by hand.
Micheal,
I want her out, but have very mixed feelings with a fear that I'll break something while still working on the hull. I think I need to suck it up and do it after this deck.
Bill,
It's a pretty tight fit but it's also glued with PVA into the frame. I'll be following Hahn's lead on this and cutting the frames as close to the line of the top rails as possible and then sanding, filing, making a mess, etc. as needed. I'm thinking it's easier to cut it free than try to undo 120 frame joints (60 frames times 2 futtocks holding it in place) using isopropyl.
