At first I decided to start with the mid ship frames. The easier ones which Mr. Hunt points out. Well I did. But in his practicum he has the frames numbered 1 to 36. I did 1,2 n 3. Then I said what the hell I have to do them. Weather now or later. I have changed course and have started with the bow cant frames. I will w/w them until I am done. I have never done cant frames before. Especially cant's that are made from 4 pieces to create 1 cant. Usually it's one piece of material and then you shape it. Once I complete them I will install the last 3 frames before the 1st cant at the bow. Once done I will use my scraper to do the inside fairing. I just figured it would be easier to get to the tight areas of the bow out of the way. Then I will do the same at the stern. Then finish off the midship frames. So hopefully I will have updated pictures in about a week. WELL THAT'S MY PLAN ANYWAY....and I'M STICKING TO IT!!! [ Edited Tue Apr 26 2016, 04:57pm ] | ||

THANKS Don | ||

But I had to show you where I was at. Since I have never made cant frames before. I hope I am doing them right. If you see something wrong please let me know. Once they are tree nailed and I make sure they are sitting proper I will glue them into and take some new pictures. THANKS FOR LOOKING IN....         | ||

To place the pattern for the outside bevels, the inside line has to be aligned on the inside edges of the frame. To align the pattern for the inside bevels, the outside lines have to be aligned with the outside edges of the frame. On your photo, I see wood on the inside edges of the frame which I should not see. Hope it isn't too late to correct this because the bevels won't be right if the patterns aren't aligned properly on the frame. Here's a photo of the first full frame. Notice that the outside edges have been beveled but the inside edges, which are beveled on the opposite side of the frame, show the frame pattern inside edge touching the inside edge of the frame - hence no wood can be seen. On the opposite side of the frame, having trimmed the pattern along the inside bevel line, wood will be visible but no wood will be visible on the outside edge of the frame. Hope that helps, Bob  | ||

The kids and my wife hung out at school today for an art fair. So I was by myself. Plus I had no errands to run after work....        [ Edited Sat May 07 2016, 04:46am ] | ||

With this being my first ever try at Cant's, I left more on purpose. More is better right now. Well once I figured the story all those lines were telling me it got a whole lot easier. The starboard went a lot smoother, and I was done in about 2 hours. Now on with the hawse timber, then glue them in after finish sanding the fore and aft faces of the frames... And again please let me know if you see that I made a mistake or mistakes. This Cant making is a first for me..     | ||
