yamsterman got a reaction from Wishmaster in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF August 8, 2016

HI ALL
TIME FOR AN UPDATE TO PROVE I HAVNT BEEN TOO LAZY OVER THE FESTIVE PERIOD.
FRAMES ARE CONTINUING TO BE BUILT........STERN TO DEAD FLAT ARE NOW READY TO BE INSTALLED........DEAD FLAT TO FORWARD HALF FRAME ARE YET TO BE BUILT.

FIRST OF ALL THOUGH A CONFESSION HAS TO BE MADE
I HAD BEEN CUTTING RECESSES FOR SWEEP PORTS AND GUNPORTS AS I BUILT THE FRAMES. THE SWEEP PORTS PROVED TO BE QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD.......HOWEVER THE SECOND GUNPORT FROM THE STERN ENDED UP AS A TRAPEZOID......HMMMN.......NOT CORRECT METHINKS!

SO THE RELAVANT PAIR OF FRAMES HAD TO COME OUT.....ISO TO THE RESCUE!!!!.......AND BE REMADE.

I SHALL NOW BE FOLLOWING GREGS EARLIER SUGGESTION AND CUT THE APPERTURES FOR SILLS AND LINTELS AFTER THE FRAMES ARE IN SITU.

WE LIVE AND LEARN AND I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO BOW TO WISER AND MORE EXPERIENCED HEADS!!!!!

PHOTOS OF CURRENT PROGRESS INCLUDED......THE LAST ONE SHOWS THE FRAMES JUST PLACED ON THE KEEL FOR EFFECT NOTHINGS BEEN GLUED YET.

CHEERS.......MICK

HI ALL
NOT A GREAT DEAL OF PROGRESS TO REPORT.......BUSY SLOWLY MAKING FRAMES.

HAVE STARTED A NON SHIP MAKING PROJECT.....SOMETHING TO DO WHILST THE FRAMES ARE DRYING!

I HAVE ALSO UPGRADED MY SANDING MACHINE TO A PROXXON TG125

I WAS FED UP OF TRYING TO KEEP THE TABLE AT 90 DEGREES ON MY GENERIC CHINESE MADE SANDER.
HAVING GOT THE PROXXON OUT OF THE BOX AND SET UP I WONDER HOW I MANAGED TOO SAND ANYTHING SQAURE ON THE OLD ONE!

THE TABLE LOCKS RIGIDLY AT ANY DESIRED ANGLE...THE MITRE FENCE IS ACTUALLY SQAURE TO THE TABLE AND THE ANGLES MARKED ARE TRUE.....IVE CHECKED.....IT HAS DUST EXTRACTION!!!!......AND BOY IS IT QUIET!!!

BRAND NEW AND DELIVERED FROM EBAY IN TWO DAYS FOR £100 ISH.

PHOTOS INCUDED AS USUAL.

PROBABLY BE THE LAST POST BEFORE NEW YEAR.

WISHING EVERYBODY A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR.

CHEERS.......MICK

HI ALL

FRAMES ARE NOW RAISED!!!!

WITH ONE SMALL BOO BOO!!!!

PORT SIDE , FIRST HALF FRAME, LETTER "R" ON THE PLANS WAS,WELL, ALL OVER THE PLACE.

MUST HAVE BEEN A LACK OF CONCENTRATION WHEN FIXING THIS ONE.

SHIP BUILDERS BAND AID TO THE RESCUE......LIBERAL SOAK WITH ISO AND THE OFFENDING ITEM HAS BEEN REMOVED.

FORTUNATELY IT SEEMS I SANDED THE ANGLE AT THE FOOT INCORRECTLY.....VERY CAREFUL USE OF THE PROXXON SANDER AND THE CORRECT ANGLE HAS NOW BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH MINIMAL LOSS OF MATERIAL.

I WILL SEE HOW IT LOOKS WHEN IT GETS TRIAL FITTED TOMMORROW........IF ITS NO GOOD A NEW PART WILL HAVE TO BE MADE......BUT SO FAR IT LOOKS OK.

NEW PHOTOS ENCLOSED.

NEXT UP WILL BE GUNPORT SILLS AND LINTELS.
