aliluke Posted October 8, 2014 Share #181 Posted October 8, 2014 Looks great Rusty. Although spilling maybe an OMG moment I'm sure it still takes a lot of skill. It is certainly a skill that I wish to attain on my next build!

Rustyj Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share #183 Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks Druxey, I'm onto the second belt and with each plank cut out gets easier or I should say more comfortable. Thanks Bob, Fun but slow. Hi Alistair, Follow Chucks directions and you'll not have a problem. Thanks Sjors. Thanks everyone for all your likes too. I'm heading back to planking now!

jml1083 Posted October 10, 2014 Share #184 Posted October 10, 2014 Beautiful work Rusty! Are you spiling every plank or just the ones at the bow and stern with straight planks for the long runs amidship? If you are going to St Louis will you bring your Winchelsea with you?

Rustyj Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share #186 Posted October 10, 2014 Hi Jim, I do the bow and stern and then strip wood between. I do have to taper the strip wood though. Also I will be away and can't make it to St Louis. The Admiral issued travel orders that can't be ignored. Thanks Ben.

Elia Posted October 11, 2014 Share #187 Posted October 11, 2014 Rusty, Your Winnie looks tremendous. I've spent the last week catching up on it. Really super stuff. And those hull planking photos show a really sweet run of the planking.

Rustyj Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #188 Posted October 20, 2014 Hi Elia, It's was great to hear from you and thank you! No pictures to post but I wanted to let you know that I am working along. Slow but sure. I've almost completed the second belt of planking but work will halt for a couple of weeks as I have to take the Admiral on a vacation. It's one of those good/bad things. Vacations are great but I hate missing the shop time. See ya all in two weeks.

Rustyj Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share #192 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi all, Well I'm back and glad to be back in the shop and it feels sooooooo good. The first thing I did was to clean up a bit. Mind you it had nothing to do with running out of room to work. One of the things I did was solve the issue I had with my vacuum hose being the same diameter as the outlet for my Byrnes tools. I broke out my handy dandy lathe and took a 1 1/4" PVC coupling milled the inside diameter to match the outside diameter of the hose and bingo I had a quick coupling. The next thing I wanted to do was cut some sanding paper for my thickness sander. Normally there are two 3" strips of sand paper on the drum. Sometimes though I sand wood that is 3" or wider. Now you can put two strips of sandpaper side by side but that tends to leave a little grove in the wood from where they meet. So I got some 6" wide sanding belts and cut strips that cover the whole drum so now, if needed, I can sand wood up to 6" wide now in one pass. Ok back to actual modeling here. I have now completed planking the first two belts on both sides of the hull. So far so good. Not stealers or drop planks. And as I said before it is slower but the planking is much easier. Everything has been sanded with 120 grit paper. Once the whole side is planked I'll finish sanding it and apply a couple coats of wipe on poly. Now it's not a pristine as Chucks but I'm happy.

Rustyj Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share #196 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Chuck, you could take two months and I'd still not catch you. Thanks Mark. Thanks Augie I used to do more sanding but found that it was hard to match the new planks so I just hit it lightly until all the planking is done.

WackoWolf Posted November 8, 2014 Share #198 Posted November 8, 2014 Now what you done with the lathe just shows that you can make anything your mind can think off, nice. I also like the idea of the sand paper cut to the size you need. Nice tip. The ship is coming along nicely.

Do not konw why but we are always cleaning and tidying up our shops, much more than cleaning the living room i.e... it´s something that the Admiral always says to me ..."

Rustyj Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share #206 Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Everyone. Thanks for the comments and likes. Sorry for the delay getting back to you all. My PC's hard drive started failing and had to take her to the doctor. During that time I was able to complete the startboard side planking, sanded it down and applied one coat of wipe on poly. The good news is that I was successful in doing it without any drop planks or steelers. The bad news is after sanding it a few joints aren't as tight as I would have liked. All in all I'm happy with my first attempt at this type of planking. Hopefully the next one will be better and the planks a little more uniform. Well I'm off to the port side to start the last two bands of planking. mtaylor, sonicmcdude, Stuntflyer and 30 others 33 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston Completed Build Logs: USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted November 16, 2014 Share #207 Posted November 16, 2014 That looks very good Rusty. As fine as any planking job that I have seen. I applaud your willingness to try the proper planking techniques of spiling and such. Its different than just force bending and may take more time but once you start, its something you will just continue to do. Well done!!!

Rustyj Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share #209 Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks Chuck, If someone hasn’t tried it they can’t believe how much nicer it is to plank this way. This is my planking method now. Hi Sjors, Thanks but yes it can be done much better. Next time I’ll need to get the seams tighter and the width of the planks isn’t uniform enough yet. druxey, WackoWolf, harvey1847 and 1 other 4 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston Completed Build Logs: USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
