Initial Framing of CAD model of Oiler

Posted Fri, 02/19/2010 - 21:10 by Charles

So, I finally got some progress worth showing again on the Oiler. you can see in this picture

Oiler Initial Framing

the detailed lines of the ribs, keel, and deck supports for the oiler. I still have some adjustments to make on the deck alignment on some ribs, and I still have the caprail to add, as well as the notches for fitting it all together. After that, I plan to spec out the prop shafts and rudder posts. With luck, I might even get it into a state we can review it in detail at our next meet.

I was looking at them a little closer and had a question - were you going to have solid blocks of wood at the ends of the ship? If so you probably should move the ribs 1" forward/aft. This will give you less solid material at the ends of the ship.

I was looking at a solid block on the front, but haven't quite figured out the back. As I continue to work on it, I'm having some difficulty getting things to fit together properly there.
