I started fabricating the gratings on the spar deck. Nothing has been glued into place yet.

As expected: neat, clean, and well executed!

I transferred the measurements to the piece of wood in the photo, fixed the sides of the ladder onto it with double sided adhesive tape and made slots for the ladder steps with the milling machine.

Having a milling machine is a great asset. How long does it take to be efficient with a milling machine. Does it require a lot of additional attachments?

In my opinion, a milling machine is a tool that every modeler should have. It makes things a lot easier and helps a lot in getting the job done properly. It will take you a few months at most to use the milling machine effectively. You will need a vise compatible with the milling machine and end mills of different diameters.

I'm making the waterways. I made a jig for my circular saw to chamfer the waterways.

It will be interesting to see how you fabricate the curved bow waterways.
