donrobinson got a reaction from Eddie in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Hi Lawrence and Thanks. The lathe is really nice to have even though I don't use it to it's full capabilities yet. As far as being justifiable, mine has not reached that point, but when I retired I had a one time time chance to buy my tools and I went for it. So the bank may be able to take my house but the tools are mine!!!

Jack things are looking real good. I like the idea of your bow and stern clamps, something I will have to remember. When planking I use a combination of ca and pva glue. The ca acts as a clamp and the pva for the bond, works quite well. Keep up the good work

Looking good Ian, You will be real happy with the filler blocks, they make the planking and especially the sanding so much easier. Good catch with the markings, you will learn(if you haven't already) to really trust in the plans a skill I am still having a problem with . Nice work and have a good holiday.

Thanks so much for the tutorial Zoran, this makes things much clearer, I have been away from here for awhile and just noticed this. I will try your methods and keep everyone posted.
I will join you with the coffee, I have just completed an extra long birthday celebration so a beer is not really sounding that good yet

donrobinson got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Hi Mike, thanks for stopping in. To answer your questions the dowel is 12 mm in diameter, the hole is 8.5 mm(21/64)( I did drill a smaller pilot hole first) the side walls are 1.75 mm thick and the piece sits 2.5 mm high. The tool I used to part them with is a parting tool, there are some pictures of it already but this one maybe shows a better angle of it(it is the unit on the right)

Here is the last little bit for today the aft hatch, again there is a lack of pictures. Not sure what I was thinking this past week but it certainly wasn't about photography
in this picture it is finished but I wasn't happy with how it looked. Where top meets up with the frame just did not look finished and I never noticed the chip in the front panel until it was too late............so here is my fix
Added a handle and another step.............it's step week . I think it looks ok, then I sprayed it with four coats of satin varathane.
And the ladders for both hatches, both made from all kit material. I have cleaned off that piece of dust on the one rung after seeing this picture . These also have been sprayed four times
So I guess it's now time for the deck, or I could do the masts
Thanks for stopping in
