All Framed Up

Another weekend, another milestone on The Becky's Revenge! We were able to get the entire floor framed up by finishing the bow of the ship. After a slow start while fighting with multiple angles at the front of the ship, we got the rest of the outer joists attached as well as the inner joists at the front. We were also able to get the lower deck line attached to the back of the ship. We even had enough time to dry-fit the bowsprit (I am becoming an expertly shipbuilding terms) and the main mast! While standing on the upper deck, we realized that we can see 2-3 yards over. This is quite the project! I am currently working on setting the railings all the way around the ship and we will be working on the ramp up to the ship next!
