The roof for the forward cabin has been made from bass strip. It is removable and will remain so but it will fixed in place by virtue of the mast being mounted on it. Next job will be fitting the sub-mast that runs between the keel and the underside of the roof.

Made the bilge keels from two laminations of mahogany sheet to get the correct thickness and then glued them in place. Once this was done I was able to return to the superstructure. Drilled the holes for the portholes and then glued the cabin sides in position.
Made the forward cabin front window and glued in followed by that for the rear cabin. Bolted and screwed the upper support for the drop keel whilst I still had easy access.
Really starting to take shape now but still a long way to go!

It does act as a finger guard to some extent but I think its main job is to help with holding the ply/timber down.
The saw came with a clear plastic box like guard, but that was taken off straightaway! It would make it impossible to cut out very small parts and obscures your view, expecially once covered in saw dust. That I think is for eye protection but I always wear eye protection glasses. Otherwise I'm with your wife and son!

Nice to see that you have kept your fingeer guard on your scorl saw.
I have taken mine off, wouldn't evenknow where it is. I got a right elling off from my 52yr old son for taking the guard off of my angle grinder. He mad me put it back on, lucky enough, it was in the zip carry bag that I keep it in that it came with. My wife moans about me because I take it off it just seems to get in the way for some things. She tols my son, " he takes the guard off of any thing that has one on or if it comes with one he doesn't put it on it". She split on me and he had a real go at me. The one on the angle grinder is a real pain it gets in the way on most jobs. Well it does for me. ▲

Nice work Chris and an interesting model that must be very satisfying to build.
The integrated cabin will help to keep any "deck wash" water out of the hull - probably even more important with a sail boat and a round bilge hull as it will roll more than the more traditional Fairey Marines deep-vee power boat hull shapes. Bob. ▲

Thanks both.
It's been very satisfying building a couple of plank on frame models. The hulls are very tactile! They can take a long time though, particularly this one being double planked. Chris ▲
