The next step is the placement of the strakes, which are quite easy to place in this type of boat, given its small relationship between breadth and length, which translates into a weak curvature of the same.
 
Previously I have given two or three layers of primer on the edge of the false keel and frames, to facilitate the detachment in the event that the strakes remain attached to them in the lining process.
 
The strakes with which lining have a thickness of 0.6 mm. The first strake is stuck to the base and its union with the next strake I do edge against edge, all with cyanoacrylate gel. Once this paste has dried, I place the hull in a vertical position and let slip a drop of cyanoacrylate (in this case in its liquid version) through the joints, in which it penetrates by capillarity.
 
Once the hull are closed, and before starting the false frames of work, I make a first polishing taking care not to eat too much with the sandpaper, since I work with a wall of only 0.6 mm.
 
Proceed then to tear off the false frames and leave the hulls empty. It is necessary to act with delicacy, since the "shell" that is obtained is quite fragile. Then clean the remains of glue that may have been stuck inside the helmet.
 
The next process is the placement of the frames, which are made in this case in three pieces and also contribute in giving the hull a certain greater rigidity.
 
I continue with the construction of the two moliceiros placing the “cavernas” (frames)
 
I also place the foredeck and the bulkhead of the “camareta” (cabin)
 
And then I hit the upper part of the “cavernas” the  “dredger” and, surrounding the boat externally, the board. All these elements provide the helmet with greater resistance, thus facilitating the handling of the model during its construction.
 
And I repeat this whole process in the second moliceiro.
 

Hi carl

photos as usual.

HI ALL
SOME MINOR WORKS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED.
SHIPS PUMPS ARE DONE......WOODEN PARTS FROM STEAMED PEAR , HANDLE BRACKET FROM BLACKEND BRASS AS IS DISCHARGE PIPE AND STRAPPING BANDS FROM BLACK PAPER.
ALL TEN EQUALLY SPACED HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED......THEY NOW NEED SQUARING OFF.
IVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OFF THE SET UP FOR DRILLING WHICH IS A LITTLE HEATH ROBINSON BUT IT WORKS.
ONCE THE CAPSTAN IS FINISHED IT WILL BE TIME TO START PLANKING INBOARD...IN STEAMED PEAR.
THE PHOTOS SHOW SOME DRAWINGS OF A CAPSTAN AND SHIPS PUMP FROM AOTS ENDEAVOUR WHICH IS OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND I USED AS A PRIMARY REFERENCE.
CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

HI ALL
SINCE I WAS OFF WORK LAST WEEK...AND THE WEATHER WAS ESPECIALLY LOUSY.....PLENTY OF TIME FOR SHIP BUILDING.
BEEN BUSY MAKING LADDERS,COAMING FOR THE CHIMNEY......TURNED FROM A PIECE OF BUFFALO HORN,AND STARTED WORK ON THE CAPSTAN.
PHOTOS ENCLOSED AS USUAL.....SOME PARTS ARE ONLY IN A PRELIMINARY STATE AND WILL NEED TO BE REFINED BEFORE FINAL FITTING.
 
THE GALLEY CHIMNEY WILL NEED SOME TLC AS WELL SEEMS TO HAVE GOT BASHED ABOUT!!
 
CHEERS.....MICK

HI ALL
DECK HAS NOW BEEN PLANKED
UNFORTUNATELY I DRILLED THE HOLES IN ONE PLANK IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!! DOH!!!
OUT CAME THE ISO....THANKFULLY IT CAME OUT QUITE EASILY....PHEW!
I CAN NOW MOVE FORWARD AND START MAKING THE DECK FITTINGS.....ONCE IVE SANDED THE DECK SMOOTH
 
THE CLAMPS I MADE EARLIER PROVED TO HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH THEM.......SO THE BOXWOOD WAS REPLACED WITH ALUMINIUM....PROBABLY DOWN TO ME USING 3MM THREAD RATHER THAN THE UNF THREAD.
 
THATS ALL FOR NOW FOLKS
 
CHEERS...MICK

HI ALL
ITS NICE TO HAVE A BIT OF TIME TO GET SOME WORK DONE.
JUST STARTED PLANKING THE DECK
THINKING ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THE CAPSTAN,GRATINGS ,PUMPS,ETC
CHEERS FOR NOW.......MICK
