Kees Meijer

some more work

So a little update.

Since I don't have much time, and little concentration (I suffer from PTSD).

I have put everything aside.

But I do have some small things that I made.

Looks good, any reason for using aluminum, not brass?

No not really, I just used what is available.

At work I have only brass from 0, 5 mm thick.

small things to do.....Try to make hinges

Mind-blowing..so much detail on that scale............super..

Thanks for the tips and link, Kees.

 

You Endeavour is coming along nicely. I hope that when I am at that stage that mine is even half as good looking

just take you're time, there are plenty of people here to help you.

Thnx Carl, i do my best.

Small update sanding sanding grinding grinding

Nice progress!

I'm about to build the same ship, also by Occre. Are you nailing the planks to the bulkheads as well as glueing? Or making any dowels?

 

And what method are you using for plank bending?

 

Apologies for my rudimentary questions. I'm about to embark on a task I have never performed before

 

Go to this site, its full with information and hint tips and some video's

The first layer is ready,Is more difficult than expected.

It's a nice one to build.
I assume you meant the 2nd planking? I am still not out yet.
For the rest everything is glued, no nails.
For bending I use among other things a soldering iron.

curving the strakes with notches made with a razor saw.

These notches make to the maximum 1/3 of the width of the strake. 

The parts to be notched are determined by marking the places where the strake leaves a rectilinear position.

Here are some pictures of my start with the Endeavour.....

Wow ... what have you done a nice job.
I am afraid that my work does not correspond to yours, I'm an amateur compared to your work.

Hi i am building the same ship.....

unreadable they sent the German and Italian building manuals with the kit.

i got in contact with OCcre and they send me a copy in English.

I am Dutch but i prefer the English manuals.

I hope you enjoy the building of the Endeavour as much as i.
