Mike 41 Posted October 12, 2014 Author #102 Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks Brian, I am working on the poop deck break and have an issue with access to the poop deck. The door into the dome opens to a stair to the great cabin and Romero’s photos show windows all across the break. There are no stairs shown on the inboard profile or opening shown on the poop deck plan. Am I missing something? I am thinking about removing the outside windows and adding stairs similar to the ones from main deck to the quarterdeck. What do you think?

Mike 41 Posted October 19, 2014 Author #111 Posted October 19, 2014 This set of photos shows the poop deck breakfront installation. It has a nice covered stairway down to the great room and Gene’s practicum shows an easy way to do the door frame that worked very well. I added a staircase that was not on the drawings from the quarterdeck to the poop deck and things was looking good until I noticed the door to the great room opened into the forward poop deck beam. I checked the drawing but it did not show any box framing for the stairwell. There are a couple of photos that show how I handled the problem. My next post will show the hand rails.

Mike 41 Posted October 29, 2014 Author #116 Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks Brian, I am looking forward to the carvings I have some very nice boxwood for them but I still have a lot to do before beginning on them. I will start with the rings around the gunports they appear to be the easiest to do.
