Dan Vadas Posted April 3, 2013 Share #151 Posted April 3, 2013 Good trick on the Hanging Knee template Toni . Of course, now that I have the hang of things, I am finished with the hanging knees on the lower deck. Ah, but the trick will come in very handy for the Upper Deck, Quarterdeck and Forecastle knees .

tlevine Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share #159 Posted April 30, 2013 I have finally had a little time to work on Atalanta. Beam 15 assembly has been installed. The hardest part of this assembly was keeping the line of ledges straight across the ship. Slight differences are a lot harder to notice if there is a hatch, mast partner or beam arm visually breaking up the run of ledges.

tlevine Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share #160 Posted May 11, 2013 The longboat has been completed so I can concentrate on Atalanta. Beam 16 set has an opening for a ladder to provide access to the aft platform. While looking at this I discovered that the bulkhead for access to the magazine was too far forward. The ladder would either have to be 18" wide or I would have to rebuild part of the aft platform bulkheads. It was just too big a problem to ignore so I removed everything forward of the pillar for beam 16 and rebuilt them. Some of the walls could be reused so it was not a total disaster. I took pictures of all of this but discovered too late that I forgot to put the card back into the camera. The result is not perfect but there is now room for a 24" ladder.

tlevine Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share #170 Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Like so much of what we do, if I had left it alone I would have known it was wrong. It really makes you sit up and pay attention when you realize that a 6" error on another deck (1/8" in reality) can have such a profound impact on the next deck.

Dan Vadas Posted May 13, 2013 Share #171 Posted May 13, 2013 Hi Toni, I had exactly the same problem with that Companion, but I didn't go back for the "fix" . I just made the ladder narrower. Speaking of which - there is a similar problem with the alignment between beams on the Upper Deck and Quarterdeck. The TFFM deck framing plan doesn't match up with the NMM plan - the forward bulkhead for the Captain's Cabin doesn't fall on the Upper Deck beam on mine . It's worth checking before you go much further, although it doesn't significantly impact on anything (no hatches here).

tlevine Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share #172 Posted May 13, 2013 Danny, thanks for the head's up. Not much has been accomplished the last week. The spring here has been particularly cold and cloudy so now that it is a little warmer (50 degrees with a 30 mph wind!) I have been occupied in the gardens.

tlevine Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share #176 Posted May 18, 2013 A milestone has been achieved. The lower deck structure has been finished. I have been applying finish to the underside of the beam sets before installing them. The gap in front of lodging knee 17 in the fourth photo occurred because the assembly is not glued in yet and it shifted. The last photo shows it better positioned. I will not put on any upper surface finish until after the decking is installed. Now on to the mizzen partner.
