Jim Lad Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share #44 Posted November 27, 2013 Another small update. Yesterday I was able to get the planking rabbet cut on both sides plus some shallow grooves forward to locate the cant frames. Unfortunately our friendly electrician at the museum has done so well in providing extra lighting at the model makers desk that I found it impossible to get good shadow across the model to show up the rabbet line properly, but you can see it at the stern if you look for it. I really must try and find some additional time for the Pritt or it will take the next decade to get anywhere.

Jeff-E Posted November 29, 2013 Share #51 Posted November 29, 2013 Hi John, The keel is looking great. I looked really hard and can Just make out the rabbet line near the stern, but I bet the extra light makes it eaiser to work.

Jim Lad Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks Jeff. Yes, the extra light is really helpful. We had a stage where every time the electrician came past he'd say, "You f...... blokes can't f...... work in this f...... light. F...... hang on a bit and I'll f...... get some more f...... lights for you." He has a limited vocabulary, but a heart of gold!

Jim Lad Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share #56 Posted December 11, 2013 Francis Pritt has taken another couple of small steps forward. The basic beam for the stern framing has now been attached with its doublers across the rudder trunking and the first two after frames are ready for shaping. Now she feels like she's about to become a ship! I won't be in the museum again until New Years Day, but in the meantime I need to construct a building frame and get some more wood cut for the frames.
