Hi and thanks for your support.

All I can say is I followed these instructions bellow.

Using a pencil, mark the thickness of the frames. Starting with the bow and 6mm from the
line marking the height of the first deck (red broken line), mark the 15x15mm gun ports which should be spaced 45mm apart. We recommend that
you refer to the general plan.
Regards

Rob

Thanks magpie yours is looking good too, I Love your deck well done, but I'm not doing my deck yet because I want to wait till I have glued all the wooden parts to the deck, I found cutting out the Gun Ports quit Easy, you should too I think.

Looking brilliant Robert, those gun ports look really sharp! Glad to hear that you find them easy, I'm not far from being in a position to start mine.

Looking forward to seeing your sapele planks in place...I'll be watching like a hawk for any hints and tips!

Jonny.
