yamsterman Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share #398 Posted February 24, 2018 HI ALL I DECIDED TO REDO THE WATERWAYS TO INCLUDE A SCARF JOINT RATHER THAN A PLAIN BUTT JOIN. THE SHAPE OF THE WATER WAY WAS ATTAINED WITH A PROFILE SCRAPER FASHIONED FROM A STANLEY BLADE. CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FITTED.

alde Posted February 24, 2018 Share #399 Posted February 24, 2018 The scarf joint is a nice touch. It's more work but it gives it a much better look. You have done a great job on your joinery throughout the build. Canute, cog, Rustyj and 2 others 5 Quote The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.

yamsterman Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share #408 Posted March 29, 2018 HI ALL SOME MINOR WORKS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED. SHIPS PUMPS ARE DONE......WOODEN PARTS FROM STEAMED PEAR , HANDLE BRACKET FROM BLACKEND BRASS AS IS DISCHARGE PIPE AND STRAPPING BANDS FROM BLACK PAPER. ALL TEN EQUALLY SPACED HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED......THEY NOW NEED SQUARING OFF. IVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OFF THE SET UP FOR DRILLING WHICH IS A LITTLE HEATH ROBINSON BUT IT WORKS. ONCE THE CAPSTAN IS FINISHED IT WILL BE TIME TO START PLANKING INBOARD...IN STEAMED PEAR. THE PHOTOS SHOW SOME DRAWINGS OF A CAPSTAN AND SHIPS PUMP FROM AOTS ENDEAVOUR WHICH IS OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND I USED AS A PRIMARY REFERENCE.
