Mic.fr Posted April 26, 2021 Author #5 Posted April 26, 2021 Hi, The wood having arrived (finally ..), I built the axial frame. It remains to make the rabbet then I continue the timbers.

jdbondy Posted August 2, 2021 #6 Posted August 2, 2021 When you use the term varangues, does that refer to the lowest part of the frame, i.e. the floor timber? JD Current build: Schooner Mary Day (scratch) Previous builds: Model Shipways Pride of Baltimore 2, Amati HMS Endeavour, Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack, Bluejacket America, Midwest Sharpie Schooner
Mic.fr Posted August 2, 2021 Author #7 Posted August 2, 2021 Yes JD. 😉 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28170-l-ambitieux-1680-by-micfr-148-plans-jean-boudriot/
