All framed up with spacer Blocks glued in.

There is one frame that is going to give me fairing problems. Contemplated  redoing but I used epoxy glue on frames and Keelson. Will have to find a way to get around it.

Amazing what info one gets when posting a question on this site. Thanks a lot guys. I am going to test all these suggestions and will hopefully be able to retain  a method which suits my ability and tools. Apart from helping me these responses are helping to build info for the MSW site which we sorely need  after the loss we had.

Thanks again

Thanks for coming baack. I get the idea and will try it.

Three frames raised thanks to the good wishes from you all. 

Spend the glue drying time to make myself a mini bench saw based on  my lathe which is the remains of an Emco Rex combination machine that fell off my truck

.My old 10 Inch Rockwell is just not accurate  enough for modelling.

Hi Mati

I can spend a lot of time looking at your work. Outstanding.

Do you mind sharing your way of making gratings?

marius

Hi Matrim

I am interested in making the gratings I n Frohlich's way.

I there a  jig or method to accurately space the saw kerfs?

Marius

I would like to make gratings for the Triton cross section the way it is done on Uwek's triton build log.

Problem is to get those saw kerfs evenly spaced. Any ideas for a jig or method.?

Marius

The moment of truth is approaching. I am ready to start assembling the section after which I will know whether fairing will be successful. Will most probably be finished after the weekend..

Here is the photo again.

Cannot let you miss the opportunity to admire it.

Welcome ! Now I am not the new guy on the build any more. Would like to see you do it with the Dremel.

marius

How come you guys see my photo and I do'nt?

Marius

Lets try the foto again

Sorry about the duplication but I do not seem able to upload a picture.

Is there a problem or am I being stupid today

marius

Finished all the frames

Will most probably redo a couple 
Made two mistakes

Cut to close to the line because I pride myself on my prowess with the Scroll Saw. So I left myself no leeway to correct discrepancies and thus sanded too much wood away.

Because I used a thinned down PVA glue I had some distortion when glueing the wet paper to the wood. One of the builds use a combination of masking tape and glue. Will try that next time. 

Will decide this weekend which frames I am not quite happy with and remake them during the next week and also start on the building board.

Thanks mark I found it.

Marius

Thanks for your comments Annodium

Yellow wood has played a very big role in South Africa as furniture and building wood. We do not have a large variety of fine wood and it is getting very scace. Very nice wood to work with

 how do I get access to rest of Triton cross sectian plans?

Marius

Right here begins my first scratch building POF. Seeing that I know that there are going to be a few mishaps I am using whatever wood I have lying around.

The frame I made out of a 100 year old piece of Oregon Pine floorboard and was pleasantly surprised wit the end result and the ease with which the wood worked. There are a few blemishes but that was mainly due to bad glueing procedure. Will redo .

The Keel is South African white pear and the keelson and false keel is S.African Yellowwood

.I am ready to proceed and am asking for access to the rest of the plans.
