It is looking like a mass production - but we know, that every single frame is slightly different - you are on a fast and good way

Yes, each frame is unique, a work of art in itself.
Bought them in a hobby shop in Sweden. Not sure if they sell overseas.

Hi Ornholt,
a fantastic progress and neatly done, Ed's books and plans are very good. Looking forward to more pictures and progress.

The next step in the manufacture of the frame is to fit 0.6 mm brass wire in the holes used to guide the parts in the frame, imitating the bolt used on the full-scale ship. After the brass wire is cut flush against the frame, the frame must be finally sanded.
I am not so sure, that drilling these bolt holes with a drilling template is a good idea
looking at the result the drilled holes are slightly at the wrong place or misalligned
I marked with red dotts, where the holes should be
The upper one is too close to the joint between the two half frames (one half frame is thinner than the other one, so therefore the hole should be a the center of the half frame
The other hole is to much at the center line of the keel so should be moved slightly to the left
I think, that such work is better and easier to control, when you see where your drill is
It is just a personal subjective suggestion by myself........

Thanks for your attention. Yes, I have to be careful how the drill template fits. Will probably make it tighter. But now no major damage has been done. For one thing, there are a few margins to use and then it probably looks worse in the photo than in reality. Then the keelson will cover it all.
Now it is running - your work and progress is looking very good
It run on all the time, but the frame was very time-consuming. But now progress is clearly seen as the ship grows.

We all know this feeling of creating the frames and installing them in such quantity that the hull of the ship is reflected from it, it is a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure.
The frames you created look great and the installation work is very accurate
