BubbleHead reacted to Angarfather in Statenjacht Utrecht by Angarfather - 1:36
Hi Mates,
Next part to make was the rail above the counter. Productionsteps: cut out by saw, profiling by a millingmachine and finishing by files and carving tools
The complete rail. The little pedestals at portside and starboard will be the bases for the decoration elements of the stern.
First painting of the rail.
Cheers Angarfather

Please what makes this book so expensive? A long time a go I put off buying it a big mistake, just ordered (New 2005 edition) it for a hefty price but satisfied. The book is by Portia A Takakjian.

Hello:
Had to start over with the quarter galleys put my finger through the light right off the get go. So I came up with a different way that worked for me.
Starter by making a jig that fit where the galley fit. Then glued stops top and bottom to hold the same beams 3mm above the jig, glued the print on in place then put a thin coat of petroleum jelly on the print so the glued parts wouldn't stick. Rubber cemented the galley beams to the jig and assembled the rest. The jig held the part so well it could be sanded shaped, a little clean up in the window sections and only had a little final fitting to the hull. Hopefully I can move on now been hear too long.

BubbleHead got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Drill Press Buffing Wheel
I tried but couldn't download the clip but should be easy to see. May be someone has all ready done this.
1 1/2" hole saw and arbor, cut a piece of paint roller to size, (the fluffy ones) slide it over the hole saw and mount it in the drill press. High speed of course. Now you can puff ships bells or ?????

BubbleHead got a reaction from mtaylor in Just Wishing ...work benches (edited)
Came a cross this add for work benches. I can see two of them in the corner of my work space. A little out of my price line but what the heck I can wish.

Lining Out
Well spent most of the day off and on making battens of various sizes and kinds, glue and tape, nothing worked for me couldn't get them to lay flat spaced right moving them around to get the space to look right and stuck again was to say the lest a mess. So taking some advice I went to line and double sided tape and in about half hour I was done well I think I'm done. I'll put some watered down white glue on to hold them in place better.
What do you think will this work. Do they look OK.

I have finished the garboard and it looks pretty much straight I hope time will tell. It looks like it doesn't fit right it does just made it too thick clamped too tight made dings. I love sanding.
Cut planking to day don't think there's enough but it a start.
Thank you Tim

If I can remember how to put the pic in order .
I have made repairs from bad docking procedures. But I keep for getting there are two sides to look at and this is the bad side of the bow.
Dumb me I figured out the garboard dimensions. Hopefully when all the clamps com off there will be a straight line.

Rich I'll remember that, sounds like good advice.
Harvey No and yes. I don't have a shop, like a commercial one, but I do it at home, well in the kitchen dinning area. This is done with the Byrnes tools.
First is to resaw the timber to manageable widths and lengths something like ( planking) 7mm X 70-90mm X L? Not very good at this yet, think I need a beater band saw or learn how to use this one. Then mill the timber down to 5mm then cut to length 152mm (scale). It's something like in real measurements 12" X 24' U S . I don't know how long 24' or 1' is in meters. Then cut (using a thin slitting blade) the thickness to 2.5mm which is a little thick left for sanding and lumps and bumps. The width is milled first so that the sides are always parallel and there is always a side to work from for beveling or what ever needs to be don't to fit. Little sanding or none is needed to the glue side and of course the out side will be sanded when finished. This way works for me. Of course if someone has a beater way please let me know.
I did put the straight edge up to the garboard and at a couple of joints a little sanding was needed and then it was straight. It was a happy surprise.
