    Too make it a little easier on us that don't get the scroll bar on the bottom of the picture ... could you set the picture width to 750 after selecting the picture from the file manager? The setting is left of the comment box. :)
    Beautiful looking frame so far! Nice!

    Sorry I didnt realize how to do that, will do it on the next one. This is the trial fit and everything lined right up! The plans are from george Goff and I think this is one of his better ones.

    Very nice job Buddy.
    Is this one yours? Or is it one that you are building for someone?
    Well done.

    This is the first one. it is going to Gordon Gregson in arkansas, have a couple more to do. Used this one to make sure all the parts fitted out right. Only had 2 adjustments to make and then everything fitted good. The ship is now on the building board and half glued with bow and stern pieces fitted in place.
