Hi Mort yes i agree works really well have made a small jig for other end of dowell DEREK
-
Hi yon i reduced the dowel down to 12.7which is the correct diameter for one end then it fitted into my chuck,it is a fairly large chuck i have DEREK
-
Hi all AM now proceeding with the bowsprit,i do not possess a lathe so am making do with a large chuck on my drill,the first thing i do is make sure the dowel runs true and not all over the place,i then use a davids plane turning the chuck by hand,then i start the drill up and lay a smooth file onto the dowel,when the dowel is down to the correct thickness,i then hold some smooth sand paper over the towel while it is rotating,ok its primative but it works well..

Hi Sjors First of i thought why on earth is Sjors dancing a jig with his build thought maybe it was a quaint dutch custom i missed seeing on my numerous travels there lol ok joking tell you what you making a nice job of that its coming along in leaps and bounds,for some reason on my last build i found the masts riggin etc the bit i most liked. DEREK

Hi Jerry i see the tiling is of to flying start,for what its worth i never primed before tiling either no reason just never did.As for the tiling well its a either love it or hate it thing,personally i dont want to tile another hull lol.Yeh ok famous last words DEREK

Hello yon i am about to attempt those buckets myself now,i am going to cut down on them,there is 21 in total,going to put 15 up only.Re poop deck yep was wondering about life boats up there myself it just seems a shame to cover up the last bit on where you can see the deck below,will they fit on poop deck ? to be honest it might not be historically correct,depends on how worried you are over that,to me if it fits on there,the whole build will look better for it,just my personal opinion. DEREK

I will have you know that is the main mast for HMS Doomed at the start, took me ages to do that. Cheers DEREK

Brass Profile
-
Hello Well i took the bull by the horns,or rather brass by the pliers as Kevin said,i used a thinner piece of brass then the manual instructed,sat back had a few beers glared at bows had a few more beers then did a bit of grievious bodily harm to the brass strip,the results are in the photo well one side anyway,got to replicate this on the other side,i just for some reason had multi dramas with this bit.Oh yes i realise the brass profile is going to the lower grating and not the upper,but it will do for me,actually i dont think it looks to bad(am now going to break me arm patting myself on the back) what you mean good DEREK
-
Hi Yon a neat touch the cover on the flag locker,stern gallery looks nice to,you are doing well very neat job well done DEREK
-
Hi Yon yep i had same prob with windows in the end i took them out not only did they mist over they gathered so much dust to be useless as for cleaning them i found it was more trouble then they where worth,hoping to resume some work on my Vic now DEREK
-
Hi Jerry pleased to see you got a log going hoping to return to my build soon,so far you are doing a fine job DEREK
-
Sjors nice going lids are not so bad more tedious then anything,how many you got to do,(72 on me Vic) i think..Well a photo lol could do with a few more,no thats not a complaint,keep up the good friend .I just had a thought your photos are like your buses you never get any then 3 turn up together. DEREK
-
Hiya Frank welcome back pleased your surgery went well now you take it easy friend take your time. DEREK
-
David those last photos are real good you mentioned something about a light problem got to say they look ok to me (they not upside down) ha ha saying that makes me wonder how your photos on here come out ok,but your email ones emerge anyside up.That aside your Vic is looking smart and tidy good job. DEREK
-
Kevin your paint work looks so smooth and dust free please tell me its a trick of the light. DEREK

Hi Kevin that rail that comes under the cat head i have not done that as of yet still deciding how to do it ,the manual says bend one of those brass strips i tried gave up its not as easy as it sounds you have to bend it sideways i tried it heated and all sorts the angle on the bend is more acute then it looks,i might try styrene,but doing the rigoles and lids first,cat heads i have knocked of so many times leaving putting those back untill later.Bye the way those channels do have and i not done several rings and cleats on them.Yep another master piece of the manual DEREK
