Working on the cap rail at the bow. First, a fit point spline to match the correct curve.
Cap rails will be 1/8″ / 3.2mm wide. I use Sketch -> Offset with an offset of 1.6mm to create the inner edge.
The offset is repeated to create an edge 1.6mm in the opposite direction.
The original line is removed and the shape is closed.
And mirrored.
Here is the piece roughly in place. The actual piece will not be flat; it will slope down as it follows the top the bulwarks.
And here’s a big picture of everything. There is one notable change. I decided not to include the gun stocks as part of the aft bulkhead pieces. I realized that I would have to plank around them, which seems like too much trouble.
And with that, I think I have designed all the pieces that I want. Now I need to arrange them for the laser cutter.
I’m still debating basswood vs. some other wood to use in the laser cutter.
