The short strokes

Finishing up (this one)

I have been remiss, my other work has dragged me away from this and put me behind schedule however I'm back at it and so we'll finish up.

The last thing to be done with this design is to add the finishing touches, to add to each of the drawings those things which are present in other drawings and which are relevant to a particular drawing.

So on the inboard profile we drew in the engine bearers those need to be transferred to the construction profile and to the construction plan.


To the inboard plan I added chocks at the stern for berthing lines, those need to be shown in other drawings.



Lastly it is usual to draw one or two typical construction sections and in larger designs furniture detail in this case we'll just do the mid section

You can add specifications directly to the drawings or do as Bolger did, number all the parts and draw up a specification list.

When your drawings are done you can either put them all on one big sheet or do up separate drawing sheets for each of the views.

Here' the sheet for one of my designs, Vole.


In this case I wrote a build document that specified all the parts and sizes and the building process.

Next time we'll throw a spanner in the works and have the client change his mind about what he wants.
