Bob thanks for the advice, I have bought some very fine blades, they are Japanese and are a spiral so I can cut in any direction without having to alter the saw frame. That said I will look into upgrading my coping saw, so many thanks for your interest and encouragement . Cheers- 93 replies

Watching with interest Mark 👍

I may just buy one piece to see what it is like, if it's not suitable I'm only down £12 but then it will still get used somewhere.

Thank you Mark for your encouraging comments.👍 The scrap box will never be empty on this and subsequent builds. Anyway back to the cross section and I'm celebrating as I've finished cutting the frames.🍾👍As soon as my deck structure wood turns up I'll be cutting all the components of those out but I can see more than a lot of pieces of walnut now that the frames are glued. Just a "bit" of sanding and I'm ready to start putting it together. I just realized why I'm still waiting for my wood, I forgot to click ORDER😠

Whilst looking for someone in the uk who supplies differenttypes of wood to use for my triton build I came across the Wood Veneer Hub who have cherry veneer sheets 345cm × 18cm at 1.5mm thick for £11.91 so I wondered if any uk members have used this site for this and wether it would be suitable for planking. Any input gratefully received. Cheers

You can put me down for one Chris. I don't have any preference on wood type so long as I can get a Speedy. 😃👍

Cracking job LS, those ratlines look great and as for the anchors well what can I say except fantastic 😀👍 Cheers
-
We wouldn't tell anyone it would be just between you and us 👍😉

Excellent work Norway!! Nice neat little ship. Cheers Jon

Great videos Chuck. They'll be a big help when I get round to planking the Triton. Thankyou!
-
Thankyou and thanks for having me.

Hello LS, yes I bought these plans from NRG for $5 = £4.34. I hope to make everything but the cannon, rigging yarn, blocks and deadeyes but we will see if I can manage this. It's going to be quite a challenge but I have no time constrictions on this build, it will be as and when. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 😀

That's a good looking raven Phil.

Hi all, The borrowed jigsaw did the job and then had 2 or 3 hours with old trusty cutting the b/h . I've dry fitted them to the keel former and there is quite a bit of tweaking to do. I must say although it's still using a saw it made a change from cutting the components for the x section frames. I'm gonna need a bigger table!! If I'm going to do more of this type of build I got to get a band saw or a scroll saw, it was a lot of cutting.
-
Hi LS That little extra you've just done with the anchors is just great. Good work. He told you !!😋😅

Hi all, so started to cut bulkheads out but found that I can't get my trusty coping saw in as there is to much board, I think I will borrow my dad's jigsaw to rough cut them and then do the precision cut with old trusty. Til then cheers.

Hi all, had 2 or 3 hours on my cross section mainly cutting frames and assembling them. I've only got four more to make, but as my decking timber has not arrive yet I'm not going to rush them. This is because I've found that when rushing thing go wrong, and that's why my last two frames were cut out twice with one of them going in the scrap box. Well till next time, Cheers

Hi Vane, I've just been on Jotikas site and according to their news bulletin they are bringing out a model of HMS Surprise 1:64 and eventually a 74 gun liner in 1:64 We will have to wait and see.
-
Hi LS., thanks for looking in. This one is a bit slow moving at the moment. I have started the cross section. It's in the group projects for Triton, then cross sections. To be honest that is not going any faster but it is a great learning experience. Cheers
-
Very nice LS, she's looking very ship shape. Great work. Cheers
-
Finally managed to resize and print the centre board. I'm going to be cutting it and the bulkheads out tomorrow, then dry fit to see if everything is ok .
-
That is a must have kit for me!! Still waiting patiently but definitely getting itchy fingers now. She looks amazing😜
-
Hi LS, looking good, I agree with you, I found rigging can be a very enjoyable part of the build. I think your masts and spars look neat and sharp with their paint job. Keep up the good work Cheers

Proxxon jigsaw or a scroll saw
Edwardkenway replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
@vaddoc I have come to the conclusion that if I'm going to buy anything it will be a scroll saw. As to all the other toys my other half would raise more than her eyebrows. But till my budget is healthy enough to get said scroll saw I will persevere with my coping saw and for smaller more delicate work a jewellers saw. Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated. Also thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. Cheers -
Chris what woods are you doing the first release of Speedy in? ( I'm waiting patiently for Speedy) Cheers Scratch this question as I've realised you posted earlier with Pear, cherry and tanganyika.
