Before you know it, you will be planking and seeing that beautiful ship emerge with its fine lines. Congratulations on reaching this point of the build! Call me crazy, but I think framing is one of the more fun parts of building. What the heck, just being in the shop is fun, right?

I'm having a toss up situation on the stern area.. maybe plum? Pat & Piet, Minor milepost... according to my list.. Framing (major) - full frames (minor) - aft frames (minor) - forward frames (minor). I have about 5 pages of notes on the list so I don't forget anything. Bryan, This is fun. It has it's frustration moments to be sure, but when those get solved, it's even more fun. And then there's those moments... when I sit back with a cup of fresh coffee and realize "holy crap...

Mark I have to echo everyone else again on your work. A few years ago our regular sheer operator was on vacation and there was some jobs that needed to be done. I was busy on another project at the time so they put another guy on it. However, he was soaked. The parts were on the large side so instead of attaching the extension that was made he used a sheet of steel instead. The sheer was designed for paper etc not for metal. The steel slid under the blade and he was so out of it he never noticed when the blade hit the steel. By the time we got over there the blade was destroyed along with one of the retaining bolt and the sheer pin needed to be replaced as well. He had made 4 hits by that time. Needless to say he was canned on the spot.

src Posted August 16, 2014 Share #478 Posted August 16, 2014 Mark and all, I never meant to suggest anybody should drink and use tools, thats a recipe for disaster. You could ruin your project, yourself or worse somebody else. I've commented here on MSW about my adventure with a trim router and my left ring finger. It happened so fast I didnt really comprehend what I did for a split second. And I was sober. In my head I was saying sitting back, admiring your build and celebrating with the adult beverage of choice.

There is a time to celebrate and I choose to leave the workshop when I do and would hope others do that as well. Don't feel bad, ok?
