I knew that there had to be a good explanation. Ill have it easy to do the rest of the deck planking and then to start the outside planking. Right now i need some easy stuff. -

Just curious if you catered for the slight increase on the outer edge of the waterway which touches the frames. I am struggling to do this on the waterway for the upper deck where the plank starts at 4” then reduces after the spirketting to three inches -

Workshop Vacuum cleaners
Kevin Kenny replied to DaveBaxt's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
If someone ever make a quiet vacuum cleaner ill be the first to use it. Both my inside and outside shop use the small Veritas system of gates. I am afraid i use ear muff when ever i am using the system. Its a real pain in the ***. I also use a cheap remote control switch to turn the system on and off. This does work great.

Today was a great day for the model shop. Our kitchen sink faucet fell apart and i was able to rebuild it on the lath. For the first time one of my model making tools provided a solution to our household and Ms Kenny was very happy. Not to often these opportunities come around. Its also the first time the lath took pride of place on the new work bench. It seems very happy there.

Thanks Greg. I actually thought about doing this but was so intent on understanding how to make the piece. Then once i got it down pat it just took a few minutes to actually machine the three pieces. In fact sometimes i i found the vice tightened the front before the back. Now that may have been the piece it self and i was careful not to over tighten it. Il. Make a nite in the comment section. I could not have done this without your early advice. It make such a difference.
