Recommended Posts

A new project for my daughter. She started Kindergarten. I am planning on giving this build to the Elementary School around thanksgiving. I know I am starting a bit late.

I might be over my head...🤔

Think that is pushing it but good luck. The fastest I have ever built one was 6 months and that was 6 hours a day 7 days a week. 

You are probably right. 😊

Last night activities. I started by removing the frame and dry fitting them.

Chuck designed this kit meticulously so I will be surprised if it gives you any trouble with fit etc. Have fun.

Quick update... 

Sanding the Hull. Painting the inside of the gun port.

Worked on the hatches. Made a mistake with the orientation of the grating. 😡😤  Good news is that it should be covered by the life boat 😓

Love my new tool. It help me make quick way of cutting especially with the use of a homemade crosscut sheld.

Planking the deck. 

20180919_063310.thumb.jpg.ec89779079061a8bb9bcb73b6281a61e.jpg20180919_063302.thumb.jpg.ab8a9b326f17adb6996481f4c3062c54.jpg

 

Treenailing and staining. The tree nails are made with a combination of oil paint and Wood filler. The colors for the oil paint is burnt sienna. 

Stain is a colonial maple.

nicely done! great details on the bulkheads!

but, I think you made a mistake with the sizing of the hatch on the forecastle deck. I believe that you're meant to put the pieces on the outside of the marks on the false deck rather than on the inside. Stuntflyer did the same thing on his build log, and chuck corrected him. (I think they belong to the same club, and he may have shown it to him at a meeting, but there are pictures before and after the correction on his log, if you want to check it out.)

It might be a purely cosmetic thing, except that there's a point later on where you actually have to work through the opening in that hatch, and it's probably tough enough with the hatch the correct size. It'll be near impossible to work through a smaller opening, I'd wager!

Thank you Richie. I think you are right. It may might be a bit too o small. It is flushed to the edge of the hole tho... 🤔 

I guess a bit of frustration later in the build 😂

Yesterday activities. Resulted to this... 

Transom construction.

All most done... Treenailing and Wood filler. It still need to attach the knees. I will wait to use the wood stain until everything is planked on the upper Hull. 

20180929_233440.thumb.jpg.5e691171b1187c178c5196acb6067728.jpg

 

Worked on bow section. 

20180929_233458.thumb.jpg.265dc5aa0a5be1be8807b713d4669c51.jpg

 

Starting the long process of cutting and attaching the stanchions. I used a spacer to ensure uniformity.

Looks ok, but.... 😡 I forgot glue the waterways. What the h### was I thinking? 

Fixing in progress. Long and painful :(

- Prepared all the stanchions with a 10 degree angle

20181001_211132.thumb.jpg.f2fa363bd2c21fbee244984f0880818f.jpg

I used a spacer to properly align them.
