Hi Don,
ONE I am on Frame No. 8, on the revised drawing you show PART 8-13 as revised that seems to work, but you also show Frame No. 8-7 it is completly different then Frame No. 8-1,
As Eric said part 7 is a mirror image of part 1
NOW TO Questions on BOM AND PLANS FOR PART 3 and 4 THE BOM says the DECK CLAMPS ARE 13/16 X 5/32 the dimesions on the plans work out to be LOWER DECK CLAMP 7/16 X 5/32 and the UPPER DECK CLAMP 11/32 X 5/32 am i corect in this,,,,
Yes
LOWER DECK FRAMEING the BOM says 18 pcs lower deck planking( 1/4 X 3/32 and 7pcs 3/8 X3/32) question is where is the planking being refered to is it exterior or what (as an aside I have not heard the term FOOITWALLING before what is its function),,,
The lower deck planking is the flooring above the deck beams in the interior of the hull.
Definition of foot waling
: the inside bottom planks of a ship
The function of foot waling is to raise the flooring, so you do not have to step over the bottom of the frames.
I also took the height of the cut off for the frames from the CROSS SECTION FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE KEEL TO THE TOF FRAME TRIM LINE is this OK,
Yes, make sure the hull is level.
one other thing the CROSS SECTION SHOWS LODGING KNEES KNESS I ASSUME THIS IS PART OF THE BEAM AM I CORRECT.
Close but no, if you look at the Part 4 Lower Deck Framing Plan the Lodging Knees are the blue parts labeled LDK-1 thru 6 the are not shown on the section, the knees you see on the section are the hanging knees also shown on the lower deck framing plan. All the knees are located between the frames.
should I post this on my Blanford Build MAYBE JUST YOUR ANSWERS.
