Carlin joint

Last couple of days have been rough. Spent two days trying to make something called a carlin joint.

Per the Community Boat Project : Carlins are structural members that run fore and aft in a ship wherever the deck structure calls for an opening that cuts across deck beams, such as for hatches or cabins. They are notched into deck beams on either end, and supported athwartships by spur beams notched into the carlin.

My goal these days at the boat school is try and get one thing done per day. Its a very low expectation, but its what I seem to be able to manage reasonably. Today I'll be making a bevel board, a board that shows degree of angles. We'll see how it goes.
