I have developed a new long reach clamp. It is evolving. I added a 2mm allen key bolt at the bottom which made a big difference.

Made a very small angle gauge to measure the angle on each plank. I had made one along time ago but i guess it was so small it disappeared. The screw came from a broken pair of glasses.
-
I was able to work out the curve by putting a french ruler on the previous plank and then transfer this to the new one.

Thats what i have been doing. Got the port side done but was wondering if there was a better way to do this. Its a real pain in the butt. Ill tackle the starboard side tomorrow.. Once i get the first layer in the curves can be replaced with straight lines which will be mush easier to fit.

Any advice for shaping these upper deck planks???? Particually at the bow and stern where the .plank is curved on the inside.

Alan i am very envious of your thickness sander. It is one of the last expensive tools to be purchased for my shop. I still have a Preac sander so cant justify replacing it as yet. But one day. The Byrnes table saw is simply the best small table saw in the world. There is nothing even close to it. kevin

I have lots of their miniature tools and they are all great. I mounted the miniature vice on my existing work bench. I did not see the dogs. Ill have to check them out to see if they will work with the holes i already drilled. The miniature marking gauges are also back ordered to November. I Recommend them unconditionally . kevin

Just made my first chain pump and having difficulty fitting it through the main mast partner hole. The book says the hole is 9” wide. I have opened the hole to 9” but this is the result. I am curious what you did. My instincts tell me to reduce the pump housing to fit the 9” hole. The second shot shows what happens when i pass it through a 10” hole. kevin

She is looking good. I decided to ignore the scuttle covers as no one would see them and if i wanted to build them i would just scribe the lines and highlite with pencil.

There is a second hand one on ebay for sale now. You might get it for the upset price.

The base is 6” long by 4 1/8” wide, so if it will fit on your xy table it should work . It uses theses bolts to hold onto the table. It can be drilled to position it on the table.

New stock of “ Juniper “ arrived for the outside framing. I had hoped that i would have gotten much more but the price was right so i am great full.
