yamsterman got a reaction from WackoWolf in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF
hi all
time for another update. been busy installing gun port sills and stern framing,
starboard side stern framing had to come out as I made a boo boo with a couple of measurements.
port side is ok.
made up a clamp to act as a saw guide for cutting out the sill rebates.....just a couple of pieces of 1/16 x 1/4 brass with tapped holes on one piece and clearance holes on the other for 3/4 inch 8ba bolts......I used an 8ba box spanner to tighten the nuts.....the silver tube in the photos.
just one more set of sills to go before I start on the lintels and finish the stern framing......then the sweep ports to fit.....and on to fairing the internals before fitting the keelson pieces.
photos enclosed as per usual.
all comments and screams of approbation welcome.
cheers for now.......mick

hi alde
thanks for the nice comments. I make more mistakes than I care to admit!!
small steps and youll soon be trying your hand at a fully framed hull......Washington is my first fully framed hull.....I chose it because it was relatively straightforward.....only one main deck...no shifted or cast frames...minimal number of gunports etc etc.
I have long been an admirer of the likes of Harold underhill.....Harold Hahn....napean longridge to name just three.
I looked at their work and thought I could never do anything like that despite having built numerous ship model kits.
and then I found model ship world......the world of ship modelmaking is now your oyster!!!
whatever project you decide to do there will be plenty of support not to mention the incomparable amount of knowledge that's available......plus photos!!!!
a picture can be worth a thousand words especially when trying to explain something complex.
having completed the triton cross section I can highly recommend it as a starting point for framed construction.
I shall at some point start on the echo cross section as its a next step in frame construction......and hms echo in full hull form is very high on my list of priorities.
look forward to seeing your triton build log.....shall follow avidly!!
cheers....mick

hi mark
thanks for dropping in.....jig proved most useful as a saw guide for the bottom cut of the sill.....then as a resting point for a piece of timber,which was the thickness of the sill minus the thickness of the saw blade.
hopefully this has kept everything lined up and rebates nice and tight.
borrowed and adapted the jig from various builds....I think jeronimo was the main inspiration.
now to rework those pesky filling frames on the starboard side!
cheers.....mick

hi carl
the clamps not my original idea.....sort of borrowed and adapted from various sources.....you definitely wouldn't want to pick thru that grey soup of mine that passes for a brain.....sometimes wonder how I even put my socks on!!!!!
nice to hear from you again......need to see you cutting some more wood shipmate!
cheers....mick

Hi Greg
Thanks for the alternative method.....never thought of using my Byrne's saw.....went straight for the Miller! There are various other joints to be cut and I shall give your method a go. Must re read the swan practicum and pick up some more tips
Cheers....mick

WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 1
HI ALL
WOOD HAS FINALLY BEEN CUT.
STARTED WITH BASIC KEEL COMPONENTS.
MAIN KEEL CUT 3/16 WIDE BY 7/32 DEEP. FALSE KEEL 3/16 X 1/16. HOG 3/16 BY 3/32.
ALL CUT FROM SHEET MATERIAL ON THE BYRNES SAW.
I DECIDED TO DO THIS IN THREE SEPERATE PIECES AS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PROFILE THE REBATE.
THE HOG(?) HAS PROVED TO BE QUITE A TASKING PIECE TO MAKE ACCURATELY. THE PIECES IN THE PHOTOS ARE THE FOURTH ATTEMPT!!!!
I ORIGINALLY ASSUMED THAT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DOUBLE FRAMES,WHICH ARE 1FT THICK(SIDED) OR 1/4 INCH ON THE MODEL WOULD BE EQUAL TO 0NE FRAME THICKNESS OR 6INCHES IN REAL LIFE (1/8inch) ON THE MODEL.A QUICK MEASUREMENT LATE A NIGHT SEEMED TO CONFIRM THIS.
WRONG!WRONG!WRONG!............MEASURE TWICE OR EVEN THRICE.......CUT ONCE!
THE ACTUAL MEASUEMENT IS 9/16 ON AN INCH.
IN ORDER TO CUT THIS ACCURATELY I HAD TO DEVISE A JIG FOR THE MILLING MACHINE
( SEE PHOTOS)
BUILDING BOARD AND FRAME PLAN PREPARED AND ALMOST READY FOR USE.
A FEW JIGS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE FOR HELP IN FRAME ALIGNMENT....BUT THESE MAY HAVE TO BE REDONE AS THEY MAY BE ON THE CLUNKY SIDE.
THATS ABOUT ALL FOR THE MOMENT.....BACK TO WORK WE GO
CHEERS....MICK
