finally, something that fits

Bit of a landmark today, actually fixed something in place. Ok, the beamshelf I suppose is another something that was fixed in place, but today, the first deck beam is proper fixed, with a proper knee an' that

Had to do the deck beam hokey cokey on me todd for a few hours, you know the one that goes "in out in out plane it all about" till it fits nice, but its a bit of milestone I reckon. 3 more knees to cut on the starboard side, some more beamy hokey cokeying and there's a risk of the deck getting down sometime this year!
