Yesterday got a full days work in, made seven rib patches in five hours - am either gettting faster or sloppier! This leaves four to go, but can't do those until I find some sucker to lean on the end of a dolly as I can't cut into adjacent frames.
Starting making up the critical central cross-floor, this will be trickier than the others as it has stopped dado joints for the engine beds and gear linkage mount, plus an angled hole for the prop shaft, and a hole for the keel bolt, also at a slight angle to avoid the shaft. The ends are notched to take in the ends of the ribs, and there are pieces screwed to it to support a small step in the floorboards. Will look nice when it's done, however long that takes....
