Thanks AP, Rusty, Nils and for all the likes.

 

Rusty - it's good to see you back around.

 

So the rough fairing has been completed and frame pair K which is the first frame bend has now been installed with its spacers. I am making and installing the floor spacers from 4" Swiss pear as the square frames go in, and the frame bend spacers are 4" boxwood that I hope will give a little bit of contrast.

 

As of today, frame 14fore and frame pair J have been cut out and need assembly, hopefully over next few days.

 

Ben

Thanks Michael and all the likes.

 

Currently rough fairing the inside of those last frames that were installed, I find I need to do it every 6 to 8 frames that are added to give plenty of access.

Also Frame pairs 10 and 9 are being constructed.

 

So I'am packing up my Echo cross section and heading to St Louis tomorrow for the NRG conference, hope to meet many people and learn some new things.

Thanks Alan,

 

I'm looking forward to it. As for your question, the rough fairing gets me within a 1/32" to 1/16" of final dimension, got to be careful at this point not to take too much off and breakthrough a chock joint! If that happens the frame has to come back out and be replaced.

 

You making any progress on your Echo? I'am showing mine at the conference and look forward to seeing some beautiful models.

Thanks for all the likes and generous comments.

 

Slow going at my dockyard but another four frame pairs have been installed along with another gunport and then rough internal fairing, then the admiral decreed that the workshop needed cleaning.

Admirals are like that.  Maybe you need to move the refrigerator so she won't come into it often?
