I have circled the two planks I was referencing. I was just wondering if there was another way to maintain that height without having to have the to plank
get so narrow.
-
In picture #301, I was looking at the top plank at the transom, and it has an end that tapers to"0". Is there a way to make this to avoid such a fragile end and still retain the height you need? Just a thought, not suggesting I know of a better way.

San Francisco cable car by kgstakes - OcCre
woodartist replied to kgstakes's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Really clean build! -
For those who have built your kits, and considering the time, effort, and expense of building a quality ship, they will not be seduced into buying an inferior kit. Those that do so will notice what could have been and that is a horrible realization. Been there done that, will not repeat the mistake!!

Chuck you have always been there for all of us and we need for you to take care of yourself first. Rest, recover, relax!!

I whole agree. I bought 2 pairs and with the second pair I filed the v a little deeper to accept larger pins.

Importing files into Delftship
woodartist replied to woodartist's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
the pdf files really help.Thanks so much, I will figure this out somehow. -
I have never used a cad program before for starts, however I have downloaded the free version of the software, I am trying to import plans. I have the same plans in jpeg, bmp, and tif files. I would like to learn how to use the software but can not find a basic tutorial to get started. I thought that if if loaded in some boat plans that I have that it would be a place to start. But when i try to load the plans into the app it appears that Delftship only recognize fbm or bak files. How can i proceed? Is there a basic tutorial online?

I was referring to a post you made on 9/23 #26 that shows a photo of the gun deck hatches. I got the Proxxon mill you recommended and was starting to make hatches with it so I was looking at your early posts when you described the process. -

The grating at the bow in blue is proud of the frame, all the rest are flush with the frame? Is that intentional? -
These cutters that mtbediz is referring to can be found on Amazon, I have bought the .05-09 mm bits in a 10 pack and they were perfect

i have a small 10x10 workshop in my back yard. I used to do a lot of wood carving and taught small classes in my shop. Now it is my boatyard.

me too, I am about 4 weeks from finishing Winchelsia and looking for the next project
-
The diagonal line in the photo just forward of the large opening that is in the Captain's quarters, I presume, shows an interruption in the planking pattern and I am wondering what the reason/purpose of that interruption.
-
What is the historical purpose of the "slight off set/change in width" in planking on the stern? It appears that the planks are the same thickness.
-
i am sure that it is somewhere in this blog but i have not found it, when do you anticipate the Surprise being ready for sale?
-
thanks I will research further on the machines, software and 3D forum
-
Is anyone using a lazer cutter to make parts? What equipment are you using? What software are you using? Any recommendations?
-
can you elaborate as to what minor alignment errors you made, it may help some of us who want to build this avoid them in the future?

Johnny I had an accident and lost use of my right arm bicep. I can still move my right hand but it is stiff and does not have a lot of flexibility. I use my left hand as my primary hand now because I can not raise my right arm without assistance from my left arm. So I am incredibly slow in moving and each move has to be planned in advance. I use a 3rd and 4th hand a lot, I use reverse tweezers a lot to hold things, I use super glue much less often because it takes awhile to get pieces situated. I use a white glue that can be released with alcohol as well. Mainly it is just realizing that I have limitations and plan accordingly. Can I be as good as those with two good hands, NO, but I can still do quality work and enjoy the process. I do 1/48 scale but no longer try to do 1/64 or higher. I also do admiralty models because rigging is not possible with my limitations. I still have great fun.
