Thank you Mark for taking the time and trouble to share these details with us. I'm shamelessly copying your drawings and filing them for later use!
-
Beautifully done Mark. Love that scarph jig - do you have any more details (pictures or drawings) of how it is constructed?

Joe, If you search for "HMV card models" you should get plenty of hits. Here's one: http://www.kartonmodellbau.de/en_GB

Hi Boyd, Just paying you a return visit, and glad I did. Looks like you've made a really nice job on the hull planking there. It's always more challenging when you choose a natural timber finish - no chance to hide mistakes under a coat of paint! Keep up the great work.

Some good progress there Leanne - almost there! How do the chooks like their new palace?

Thanks very much for the kind comments Sherry, JesseLee, Ben, Bindy, Mark, John, Keith and Mike. And thanks again to all of the "likes". Ship's Boats continued.... This weekend I tackled the task of making Oarlocks and Splashboards for the Pinnace. The oarlocks were quite tricky. I started with a strip of 3/64" sq Boxwood stock, into which I cut a 1/64" rebate, about 1/64" deep using the Brynes saw : Then I made up a simple jig to use on the Byrnes saw that would enable me to cut a tenon-like leg for each of the oarlocks before separating it by hand from the main stock. Here's what they look like before cleaning up: These were then installed into the Caprail and 1/64" x 1/16" Boxwood strips added for the washboards. I decided to make the bow washboards one continuous strip that was bent around the bow after soaking, and once dry the underside was sanded and shaped to fit the shape of the sheer line. On the real thing, all of the washboards apart from the bow and aft-most ones were removable. I decided to glue mine all in so that they didn't accidentally remove themselves later on. Here they are in place: I should perhaps have painted all of these parts before installing them, but I was worried that the paint would clog up the channels in the oarlocks and make the washboards too hard to fit. So, I had to paint them in situ. I also decided that I wasn't completely happy with the seat back I had made for the Sternsheets (the proportions looked wrong to me), so I decided to make another one. Here are a few pictures of the completed Pinnace (I don't intend to make oars or rudder). To continue my experimentation with photography, this time I've use a mid-blue background so that the black-painted parts don't get lost. Next up, back to the Cutters........

Can't help with a manual, but I thoroughly recommend checking out this video on YouTube. If you search for Alex Snodgrass Bandsaw Clinic, you will find that this video provides all the information you need to set up your bandsaw correctly, regardless of brand. I've pasted a link below, but if it doesn't work, just search in Google and it will come up.

Looks like this will be an interesting build Mike. Think I'll pull up a chair in the front row for this one.

Nice job on those curved rails Danny. And I think a wise choice on leaving the brass au naturale - it seems to suit this model.

what is the ideal modelling table?
gjdale replied to AON's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Impressive table Alan. Looking forward to seeing the playroom extension! -
Hi John, A belated Happy Birthday from Downunda. Glad to hear you're enjoying the trip and I look forward to the resumption of your build log in due course. Re your missing pics, yes simply edit the page, delete the old links and re-post the pics.

Nice job on the stove Vince.

Kevin, Don't sell yourself short - your build is of an excellent standard. Wanting always to do better is good - that what keeps us all going for the next model. But wanting to achieve our idea of "perfection" is not so healthy and has the potential to rob us of the joy we find in modelling. Be inspired by others achievements, but don't be intimidated by them. I look forward to resumption of play with your excellent Victory.

Nicely done Bob. Your choice of how much and where for the deck planking is an interesting one. A little bit "unusual" (if there is such a thing), but this will add to the models uniqueness and I'm sure will look terrific. The important thing is that YOU are happy with the decision and you clearly are.
