Mike 41 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share #31 Posted August 12, 2014 Just to be on the safe side I made all the frames 1/8” higher than the templates. This set of photos shows the hull being leveled and trimmed. hexnut, MEDDO, Elmer Cornish and 1 other 4 Quote Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 41 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share #37 Posted August 14, 2014 The keelson was installed next. I used some rubber bands, small blocks of wood and clamps to hold it firmly against the frames while the glue dried. After the glue dried I added 1/16” dowels at each frame. gjdale, DORIS, hexnut and 4 others 7 Quote Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 41 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share #39 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) The deck ledges were installed next. Do to the type of frames I am using I couldn’t use the jig described in the practicum. I marked the beginning, end and midpoint of each ledge then marked the top of the ledge at these three points from the top of the frame with a compass and glued the ledges in place. The ledges for the lower decks are the only ones installed at this time.

MEDDO Posted August 14, 2014 Share #40 Posted August 14, 2014 Wow, you are working very quickly and these last photos are looking great. I also like your build slip/jig. Not so useful for me now but someday I will have to try to figure out how to build one of those. Mike 41 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Mike 41 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share #43 Posted August 14, 2014 Hi Michael, The best attribute of the jig is being reusable. This is the fifth model I am building with it and it is still holding up well.

Mike 41 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #49 Posted August 16, 2014 Hi Brian, Hobbymill is an excellent source for wood. You did an amazing job for a first scratch build. I get most of my wood from Metro Hardwoods it is close to my home and I can hand pick the boards I want to use.

Mike 41 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #50 Posted August 16, 2014 Hi Brian, I will treenail all the upper decks but not the lower decks that will not be seen on the finished model. Did you treenail all nine decks?

Mike 41 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #51 Posted August 16, 2014 The sink and stove made a nice break from all the framing. This set of photos shows the sink being assembled the cabinet is basswood, the doors, drawers and back is beach wood and the top is walnut.

Mike 41 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #52 Posted August 16, 2014 The stove was next. I used bloodwood for the bricks and basswood for the hood and vent. It sets between two different deck levels that is why it is not level in the photos.

Mike 41 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #54 Posted August 16, 2014 Hi Brian, It looks like I will be doing about the same amount of treenails that you used on your model. Your treenails look very nice I hope mine look that good.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted August 17, 2014 Share #55 Posted August 17, 2014 The stove and the cabinet are looking really nice. Perhaps the cement joints are a little bit to thick.

Mike 41 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share #57 Posted August 17, 2014 Hi Christian, I agree the mortar are too thick. I only have one carbide tipped blade for my Proxxon table saw and need to get a thinner one for fine detail work.
