Cut the rope ladder overlay next. The dotted lines on the pattern represent the pieces underneath the overlay. You should ignore them at this point. Make sure to cut all edges that touch the inside of fhe wheel about 1/4" longer than the pattern. (The excess will be cut later.) Finish sand the entire rope ladder overlay and edge glue it on wax paper. Set aside arid let dn/.

Cut the pieces you just marked and fit them into the wheel, making any needed adjustments at this point.

Ignoring the rope ladder overlay and using the dotted lines now, cut the wafer and ship body, making sure you add the extra 1/4" on ail pieces that touch the inside of the wheel, as when making the rope ladder overlay. Cut the ship body as one piece, first marking the portholes and board seams. Bore the portholes and cut the plugs as you did for the buttonholes on the wheel overlay, then cut fhe board seams and insert Ihe portholes. To give the water depth, use a pencil to mark the two pieces on the left and right sides of the ship. Sand the two pieces down just past the mark.

Move the water and ship section off the pattern. Position the rope ladder overlay in place. Mark the cut line in the same manner as you did for the water.

Cut and fit fhe rope ladder overlay, and then set it off to the side. Contour and sand the water and ship. Place wax paper onto pattern and edge glue the water and ship to the wheel. Let dry.

Tape fhe water and ship together and position them on the pa Item. Place the wheel onto the assembled pieces and place a shim at the opposite end of the wheel. Trace the cut line onto the water pieces.
