Just looks the part Keith 👍 Regards Richard -
Hi Allen, Thanks for your post and the picture, have been looking at my eight Dory builds and have found that the supplied drawing in the Model Shipways plans are not correct. So from Roger Pellett suggestion I have bought the Dory Book by John Garner which is brilliant and the Luneburg Dory drawing I have I am going to make all eight Dory's again. If anyone wants these unfinished Dory's then can PM me and all I will charge is the shipping Regards Richard

Hi Nils, been awhile since I have posted, thanks very much for looking in on my slow build, so you built the Canadian Lunenburg Bluenose, the Gloucester boats Delawana, Esperanto, Henry Ford, Columbia and the Gertrude L. Thebaud where built in the US. As you say it was spectacular breathtaking Pacific ocean water racing, I have a book called "A Race For Real Sailors" by Keith McLaren which tells in detail about each race from 1920 - 1938 highly recommended. Regards Richard

That prop is going to look very good Keith, love looking at your thought process on how to machine certain items 👍 Regards Richard

Hi Keith, really like all the small details you are putting into your model 👍. Just a question, did this pile driver just hammer wood piles or was it used for steel piles as well. Regards Richard

Brilliant project Keith, looking at your pictures with the scale size guy on the donkey, they were huge machines. Regards Richard

Excellent plating Nils 👍, regarding your letters are you going to make water decals so that they will conform to the plating and rivets? Regards Richard

Perfection Keith nice filing 👍, it would look very good with a coat of vanish as others have said, but IMO it would look out of place if you are going to paint her the colours you have shown in earlier posts. Regards Richard

Finished the second planking, then removed pins then re-drilled re added pins for adding third planks. This again worked well, now have all with three planks each side and pins removed to start last set of planks. Thanks guys for looking in and the likes. Regards Richard

Looking at the drawing I bought from the Fishing museum in Lunenburg it shows how the planks overlapped at the middle station, then at each end they butt up so to hold plank in place I drilled holes in the jig so that it would overlap in middle and butt up at ends, started with three wood posts which was not enough so added two more, then I broke the wood posts so change them to brass tube.. Shape was good so have cut all sixteen planks now started the production. Got two glued and they have come out pretty good. Have been using this glue on all my wood gluing and it works great. Thanks for all the comments and likes, until next time. Regards Richard

Great way to make a perfect paint job 👍 Regards Richard
-
Thanks Gary, the jig/plug is working very well. Just saw them on you WIP they do look great 👍 Regards Richard
-
Those figures look good John did you buy others or just the ones in your picture? totally agree having scale figures on the model brings it to life. Regards Richard
-
Very nice bit of fabrication Keith, I am sure you will use the mill first, then file to shape 👍 Regards Richard
-
More progress on the eight fishing dories, using swiss pear which is very nice to work with, planks are .018" thick easily bendable with fingers. Had a clamp which I glued bits of wood to, so that sanding to shape was easier. First planking done now have to work out shape for the second plank. Until next time, Regards Richard

I did contact Lunenburg fisheries museum and bought a drawing of the 14'-0" bottom dory for $5.00 CDN , it has all the dimensions I need, did ask them if they made a 15'-0" do they add the 12" equally between the five stations, and they say that is correct. Progress on making Regards Richard
-
Nice bit of fabrication coming up 👍 Regards Richard
-
Thank you Gregg, didn't like the kit parts and the jig supplied to was not very good. Thank you Gary, the set up was the only way to have eight the same. Regards Richard
-
Like the drawing, also like they have dimensions on it to, are you going to make the engine Regards Richard
