The stern was not shown very well in the drawings. I modified the framing somewhat it is not perfect but it will all be covered with planking.

Mike,

Nice work on the stern. It looks like you'll have a good foundation for the stern planking.

The bow cant frames were not as difficult as the hawse pieces. I made the hawse pieces extra thick and used a lot of spacers. They looked awful rough but they sanded out well enough to lay some planking on.

I am currently working on the three small platforms below the lower deck

Mike,

Nice job. Yes, I have also found that hawse pieces are probably the most difficult part of the framing. Making them thicker and then thinning them after they're installed is the perfect approach to this task. You've got a good solid foundation for installing multiple decks, if you so desire.

The three small platforms below the lower deck are finished. The lower deck framing will be next.

I am going to build the lower sections of the three masts in order to set the correct angle of the masts in the openings at each deck level.
