Lining up and setting cant frame to deadwood Two more cant frames and I can start the bollards and hawse construction Progressing! couple more years and I will have it done I have anouther project that I am working on so I am dividing time between them Edited February 28, 2014 by the learner sport29652, Long9Ron, mij and 9 others 12 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey1847 Posted February 27, 2014 Share #129 Posted February 27, 2014 Progressing! couple more years and I will have it done :D :D !!! I doubt it Guy. With that ribband method and the squares to set the fore cant frames you are saving lots of time... I "spent" lot of time building the stern and stem jigs. On next projects I will go your way, a base board and lots of square sets. what is the other building you are working on?! Best wishes Guy! daniel. In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48.

the learner Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share #130 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Guess I am an eyeball person, it’s the wantabe artist in me....not all things come out perfect but I can usually manage to make them look good. The jig is probably the best way to go and the extra time is well spent! but the thickness of the frame where it rest on the jig must be accurate unless you allow for extra material for the frame in the jig.

the learner Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #132 Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks Guys Christian your cutter is progressing well Ben! the cant frames are actually very easy to install but just one at the time, as they are difficult to clamp except with the fingers! I actually thought of gluing a small angled piece of wood onto the frame and deadwood to assist the clamping jaerschen 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the learner Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share #133 Posted March 3, 2014 Some more pictures! At this point I have to mill some more wood for frames. I have already printed out and cut up the patterns. This process is comming along quite nicely and I am enjoying it sport29652, harvey1847, Jorge Diaz O and 6 others 9 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the learner Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #134 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I have just cut out the patterns for the last 9-10 frames and pasted them on the wood, in the next couple of days I will cut them up and assemble the remaining frames, then on to the hawse pieces. I think then if I am not going to plank over the stern area, I might go back and rework some of the timbers there.....we'll see sorry no pictures! when I have all the frames sitting on the keel I will take one. Not much activity on this thread, every one must be getting ready for spring cleaning!!

the learner Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share #136 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Thanks Ed! but only you are an expert at it, but my desire. Nice to have you visit our post! Have to mill out one more billet of wood to make the last couple of frames. keeping track of all the frames can be confusing as I cut out several frames that I already had made up! so I used up more wood than I thought I would need. The best part I can cut down more pieces to the thickness I need here instead of sending out for additional wood billets from some one else AlsoI have nevergotten a response from and earlier post, should I be adding filler on the keel between the floor frames?

harvey1847 Posted March 28, 2014 Share #137 Posted March 28, 2014 should I be adding filler on the keel between the floor frames? Hello Guy! I am not adding or filling that space between the top of keel and the bottom of the keelson. We do not have a water line plan for the filling of the frames to make the water go to the limber. Maybe on another project with single frames like the Naiad or others. Still not working, just drawing and cutting some parts to make the wales... Best wishes! Daniel.

the learner Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share #138 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks Daniel for the response! so its a personal choice then,,perhaps I will add filling after the hull framing is finished depending on the amount of planking I do. Added 4/10/14. I have concluded that the filling timber should have been cut and added as the frames were installed giving more a more accurate spacing of the frames on the keel.....Oh well next build Edited April 10, 2014 by the learner harvey1847 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the learner Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share #139 Posted April 16, 2014 I have installed my foward cant frames but the outboard lower shape does not seem right? I seem to remember something about some of the frames being out of shape in past threads is this so and how was it corrected? it would cover at least the foward 4 or 5 frames. I will go back and re read but would like to know if this is a error that needs to be corrected!

SaturnV Posted May 1, 2014 Share #144 Posted May 1, 2014 The frames that are thought to be incorrect are 26 through 28. But at the moment from where my model sits it looks like it just needs to be sanded properly. Only after sanding will I be able to tell for sure.

the learner Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share #145 Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks Mij! Richard, I looked at the framing between 26-28 feel that they will fair out OK.

the learner Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share #146 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) So some more pictures...I have been busy on a job but try to work a bit every day on the Triton. I am pretty much at this point fairing the inside, adjusting frames and adding the gunport sills. Here I am fairing the inside using and old plane iron both ends work well. Measuring the sill height from the frame plan I printed our and taped together, the rueler across the bottom in my Drywall T I need to put a new outside support (riban) for the frames then I will start build the lower deck To be continued: Edited May 2, 2014 by the learner harvey1847, MEDDO, Jorge Diaz O and 9 others 12 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnV Posted May 3, 2014 Share #148 Posted May 3, 2014 I agree that those stern cants will sand out fine if most of the sanding is done from the outside in that area. The original complaint was a bulge but the more I examine it the more it looks like incorrect sanding was the culprit. Knowing this ahead of time is going to help a lot.

the learner Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #150 Posted May 4, 2014 I have attached a riban around both sides and will now be removing all the other scrap pieces that I have glued on the outside to support the frame, then finish the gun ports and start the lower deck perhaps by the end of this comming week.
