HI ALL
THE RESULTS OF TODAYS ENDEAVOURS ARE ENCLOSED.
I FOLLOWED EDT'S DRAWING BUT CHANGED THE THREAD SIZE TO 3MM.
THE NUTS ARE EPOXIED ONTO THE THREADED RODS.
FAIRLY SIMPLE TO MAKE...BUT THE DRILLING HAS TO BE SPOT ON!!!
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SIX SMALL CLAMPS AND TWO LARGER ONES...BUT I HAD A SENIOR MOMENT AND SANDED THE WRONG END!!!!
OH WELL CAN ALWAYS MAKE SOME MORE.
PHOTOS AS USUAL AND THE LAST ONE PROVES THAT THEY DO WORK........
I MAY HAVE A GO AT THE MORE COMPLICATED VERSION WHILST IM IN TOOL BUILDING MODE......LEFT HANDED TAPS AND DIES ARE FAIRLY EASY TO GET HOLD OF.....ABOUT  £22  FOR A DIE AND 2ND TAP........I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND DRILL SERVICE OF HORLEY........SHOULD PROVE A CHALLENGE CROSS DRILLING THOSE BRASS PIVOTS FOR THE THREADS!!!!
CHEERS FOR NOW......MICK

HI ALL
MANAGED TO GRAB SOME MODELMAKING TIME OVER THE LAST WEEK.......NO WORK! NICE LITTLE BREAK.
STOVE HAS BEEN PAINTED AND PUMP WELL AND SHOT LOCKERS FINISHED.
TIME TO START ON THE MAIN DECK.
BEAMS HAVE BEEN PREFABRICATED FROM SLIGHTLY THICKER STOCK AND SANDED TO SHAPE.
BASIC RUDDER ASSEMBLED  JUST NEEDS THE IRON WORK DOING.
PRECUT SOME HOLLY READY FOR TURNING THE HOLD PILLARS.
 
TREATED MY SELF TO A NICE LITTLE SHERLINE SELF CENTERING CHUCK........OUCH A TAD PRICEY IN THE UK!!!!
BUT INFINITELY SUPERIOR TO THE FAR EASTERN OFFERINGS.
 
THATS ALL FOLKS...FOR NOW AT LEAST.
 
CHEERS....MICK

HI ALL
TIME FOR AN UPDATE OF SORTS.
 
WHILST WORKING ON THE WASHINGTON GALLEY IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I NEEDED SOME WAY OF CUTTING THIN STOCK FROM LARGER BOARDS.
 
THE HOLLY I HAVE WAS PURCHASED FROM A CHAP WHO HAD JUST FINISHED RESTORING A RIVA AQAUMARINA.......A NICE LITTLE MAHOGANY AND HOLLY RUNABOUT FROM THE 50S / 60S ?????
 
WHEN IT TURNED UP IT WAS AS ROUGH AS THE PROVERBIAL BEARS POSTERIER.......NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO PROCESS ROUGH SAWN TIMBER I TOOK IT TO A SMALL LOCAL TIMBER COMPANY ,WHO FOR A MODEST FEE, PROCESSED IT FOR ME.......DOWN TO 8MM IN THICKNESS.
 
I NEEDED TO CUT SOME 1/32 " PLANKS FROM THIS FOR THE LOWER DECK......I WILL ALSO NEED TO CUT SOME 1/16" PLANKS FOR THE MAIN DECK AND QUARTER DECK LATER ON.
 
FOR THE LOWER DECK I IMPROVISED A SIMPLE WOODEN JIG AS SHOWN IN THE FIRST PHOTO.
 
TROUBLE IS I WOULD NEED TO MAKE ONE OF THESE FOR EVERY DIFFERENT PLANK THICKNESS I CAME ACROSS.
 
IM NOT OVERLY HAPPY CUTTING THESE PLANKS THE NORMAL WAY USING THE FENCE....THOSE THIN LITTLE PLANKS CAN GET UP TO ALL SORTS OF MISCHEVIOUS THINGS IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL.
 
AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN NUMEROUS OTHER LOGS ITS FAR SAFER AND MUCH LESS NERVE RACKING TO CUT THESE PLANKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BLADE AS IT WERE.
 
THE MAKE SHIFT WOODEN JIG PERFORMED PRETTY WELL, BUT I WANTED TO HAVE A GO AND BUILD SOMETHING ADJUSTABLE AND PERMANENT.
 
THE RESULTS ARE ENCLOSED FOR YOUR DELICTATION.......BUT THERE  IS SOME FURTHER WORK LEFT TO DO.
 
CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

HI ALL
ITS ABOUT TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE.
 
TOPSIDES HAVE NOW BEEN PLANKED AS HAS THE STERN ALL TREENAILING COMPETED, IVE USED 0.8MM COPPER FOR THE WALE STRAKES....WILL PROBABLY USE A DILUTE LIVER OF SULPHER TO BLACKEN THESE LATER.
 
SOME REMEDIAL WORK TO DO AROUND THE GUNPORTS...NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GAP FOR THE GUNPORT LIDS.
 
DECK BEAMS CUT READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE.
 
AT THE MOMENT WORKING ON THE SHIPS STOVE AND OTHER THINGS BRASSY.
 
HAD A SENIOR MOMENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK.....SOLDERING THE TOP SECTION OF THE STOVE I PUT IT ON THE ANVIL AT THE BACK OF THE VICE TO COOL DOWN.....AND THEN GRABBED HOLD OF THE VICE TO TAKE SOME TUBE OUT OF THE JAWS......*$%"£!&^%*(&^%$!!!!!!!!!.....THE BRASS COMPONENT MAY HAVE LOOKED COLD BUT I RECKON IT WAS STILL A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DEGREES C. 
 
FORTUNATELY THE COMPONENT WAS OK......ONCE A FEW BITS OF MY EPIDERMIS WERE REMOVED.
YOU WILL ALSO BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT MY TIRADE OF FOUL LANGUAGE,DIRECTED AT MYSELF FOR MY OWN STUPIDITY,WAS WORTHY OF THE SALTIEST OF JACK TARS.
 
AND YES IT STILL HURTS!!!!
 
PHOTOS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR PERUSAL AS ALWAYS
