hi alan
the machinists squares do come in handy ......I have about four pairs in different sizes......the awkward bit is keeping the base of the cant frame fixed to the deadwood as there is no rebate for it to sit in its just glued to the deadwood......and then keeping the lower water line at the right height.....turns into a juggling act.
I can see where the square comes in....but the frame still needs to be clamped in some way to hold it in position......I have a multiplicity of clamps.....but none the right size!!!! even my smallest toolmakers clamps are too big ( 1" capacity) not too mention far too heavy......this is a small model even in 1/48 scale.
I think some time spent making some clamps a la EDTs build logs would be time well spent!
on reflection I should have gone for acrylic supports for the stern and bow aswell as they could have been made less cumbersome.....I may well rejig before I go any further.
thanks for the second pair of eyes!!!
cheers....mick

hi greg
life may suddenly become a little easier if I follow alans suggestion in the previous post.........ive bevelled the cants to just outside the printed line on the plan.....so with the thickness of the line as well there should be enough meat left on for final fairing........but if not then the iso will be unleashed and frames remade.........I need the practice prior to starting the echo cross section...and swan....and euryalus....and half a dozen ancre publications
should keep me busy till I'm feeble in the cerebral!!!
on a different note ive been lurking in the shadows watching your hms speedwell build........plans in the pipeline at any point soonish?
the framing seems a lot more complex than ron McCarthy envisaged in his book building hms cruiser
I'm presuming that speedwell was the 1752-53 program for 140 ton sloops......ref to ian mclaughlins book pg 213 ?
which would make her contemporary with cruiser,wolf and happy albeit with minor differences.
I do have the nmm draught for cruiser but my draughtsmanship skills are primitive to say the least hence the question regarding plans.
look forward to following your outstanding work on speedwell.
cheers....mick
