yamsterman got a reaction from WackoWolf in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF
hi all
just a quick update.
keelson has now been fitted
bolts for the scarf joints are 0.4mm copper........Goodwin says 1"-1/2" for these bolts so I spilt the difference and went for 3/4" more or less.
bolts for the keelson into the frames are 0.8mm copper at every other frame station again as per Goodwin ...approx. 1 1/2" full size.
quarter deck clamps are being glued in.....all treenails fitted prior to glueing.
cheers for now.......mick

hi al
i was looking through goodwins construction and fitting.......apparentley they bolted every frame after 1800. prior to that it was every other frame....with two bolts per frame.
i tend to use goodwin as my construction bible.
if anybody knows if they did it differently please let me know.
as to why they did it i dont know...theres no explanation given as such.
cheers.....mick

hi mike
plenty of sanding! not sure how thick the toptimbers should be on this one....will probably go with the dimensions goodwin gives for cutters/sloops.
outside of the frames have to be faired yet but fortunately amidships is pretty uniform with no excessive tumble home or curves to worry about.
things might get a bit funky at the bow and stern!
cheers....mick

hi al
please I'm blushing!
if it wasn't for kurt and all the other staff at the nrg I wouldn't be building the Washington galley......and also thanks to jeff for drawing the plans in the first place.
hopefully I can do the plans justice.
thanks for all the likes and positive comments.

hi al
all frame components for Washington and triton were cut out by hand with a jewellers saw with the appropriate blade.
unfortunately I don't have space in my workshop for a scroll saw as I work in a small spare room in the house.
I could put one in the garage but its too cold to work in there!!!
once the frames are cut out I use a proxxon sanding machine to establish the flat edges for the butt joins between frame components and also for sanding as much as the outside of the frame as possible.
I then resort to a dremel which is mounted in the dremel shaper table and fitted with a small sanding drum. I use this for all the inside curves and any bits on the outside that couldn't be dealt with on the proxxon.......sort of miniature spindle sander I suppose!
I tend to sand just to the outside of the line...all lines have a "thickness" so its my way of leaving a bit of meat on the bones for nibbling away at later!
hope this helps.
cheers.......mick

hi al
nice job on that rabbet!
looks like your cracking on with frame production.
from your photos it looks like you have left more than enough to fair the frames.......I pretty much went to just outside the lines for the plan components and had no issues with fairing the hull...inside or out.
I like marks method for the frame construction.....guaranteed to be flat with 1/4" glass on top.....I used a similar method.....drawingunderneath on a flat surface (mdf in my case) frame components glued up and weighed down with 1" square steel bar.
looking forward to the frames going up!
cheers....mick
