russ Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share #272 Posted October 31, 2017 Here is the dashboard assembly with narrower bead board. I think this looks better than the wider material. Still needs some trimming and fitting. I also think I will go with a smaller wheel.

russ Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share #275 Posted November 1, 2017 A little sanding improved the appearance of the bead board. I think this looks a little more believable.

I like the new sanded version of your beadboard over the old also, a good change and worth whatever time invested.

russ Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share #291 Posted December 11, 2017 And a little more progress. This pilot house has three large windows across the front. The window openings have been created, but there is some frame work inside the opening and the windows were inserted components that could taken out when necessary. So, the window frames are made separate and then inserted into the window openings. I am using 1/32" thick basswood for the window frames with half lapped joints at each corner. This makes the window frame assembly fairly strong so that I can clean up the corners and sand the assembly. I use a home made jig to keep the corners squared and the completed assembly is rubbed across a sanding stick to clean it up and reduce the thickness a bit on both sides. There are 1/32" pieces top and bottom that are glued into the window opening, along with vertical stop strips placed behind each window frame on both sides on the inside, as well as vertical pieces on the outside on both sides to hold the window frame in place. These vertical pieces will be added when all three window frames are completed and fitted.

popeye the sailor Posted December 14, 2017 Share #296 Posted December 14, 2017 coming along really nice Russ......I like the way the roof beams jut out over the windows. the frame looks good too. are you going to use clear cello?

russ Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share #298 Posted January 22, 2018 Well, I finally have some slight progress to report the last couple of days. What with the holidays and then the bitterly cold weather we have had the last couple of weeks, it has been difficult to get any shop time. Here, I have the large rub rail on the port side and the chain plates installed. In the next couple of days I will get the starboard chain plates installed and then I can do some painting.
