The more-or-less square door in post #117 looks as if it can open unimpeded. This seems realistic.

Hello, I didn't draw this door because, indeed, if it leads to the deck, it can't open.
There's a sort of small partition missing, a threshold that starts on the deck and goes up to the start of the partition. It was forgotten.
Apologies for this small anomaly, which has the advantage of highlighting this oversight. But it's really a small detail that can be easily rectified and doesn't detract from the quality of Marsalv's construction.

To Mr. Delacroix - thank you for the explanation.

To Willi - I'm sorry, you were right.

Since after covering it with the deck, it will be virtually impossible to see whether the door is complete or whether a threshold is present, I decided to leave it as it is :).

When I see this artwork, I am inclined to consign my anemone to the fireplace.

Stunning work mate 😊  Your CNC capabilities are just getting better and better.  The transition from plans, to CAD configuration to work holding on such a small mill is inspiring - amazing!

It is an interesting example of old world craftsmanship using hand tools being replaced by new world craftsmanship using CAD/CAM.

I don't think that there is a downside for using your techniques at all.  As you say there is a lot of computer work; but the thought processes you must go through to transcribe drawings into a precise 3D cut must be a very difficult challenge.  The blend between manual and machine cut parts is in my opinion the future of this hobby.  Fantastic job and hanging the ship to drill out the hawse holes - I'm going to give that a try on my next build.

To Some Idea - Thank you for your very kind words. I agree with you that this is where the future of this hobby will go.

I moved inside the hull. I made wooden knees and gradually started attaching individual deck beams, bulkheads and other internal structures.
