yamsterman got a reaction from cog in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF December 2, 2015

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

hi carl and Patrick
had to have a rethink with the support jigs for the cant frames........the original wooden ones were far too "clunky".......theres not much space at the front end so something thinner was required........the acrylic was stuffed up a corner in the engineers shop at work.......so it was duly liberated,with permission of course! and is now stuffed up a corner in my workshop..........useful stuff!

more cant frames to do this weekend and then on to the hawse pieces.......should prove interesting and frustrating in equal measure.

cheers for now.......mick

WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 8 CANT FRAMES

HI ALL
ABOUT TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE. BEEN DISTRACTED BUILDING FURNITURE FOR ONE OF THE LADS I WORK WITH AND STARTED BUILDING ANOTHER PROJECT......18 CENTURY LANTERN CLOCK .

HOWEVER ITS TIME TO GET TO GRIPS WITH THE FORWARD CANT FRAMES.....AWKWARD LITTLE SWINES!!!!

FIRST PAIR HAVE BEEN SET.....WAITING FOR THE GLUE TO DRY....NEXT TWO PAIRS WAITING TO GO IN.

PHOTOS ATTACHED.....COMMENTS ,CRITISMS...HOWLS OF DERISON GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

THE ONE THING I WILL BE DOING IS REPLACING THE LOW ENERGY BULB IN THE SPARE ROOM WITH AN LED BULB...A BRIGHT WHITE ONE......IT SEEMS THAT THE CURRENT BULB IS TOO YELLOW HENCE THE CRAPPY PHOTOS.

I ALSO REPLACED THE PREVIOUSLY MADE WOODEN JIGS WITH SOME MADE FROM 5MM ACRYLIC,IT WAS LURKING IN A CORNER AT WORK SO IT HAD TO GO!
THE WOODEN ONES WERE FAR TOO CUMBERSOME TO FIT IN THE FAIRLY TIGHT SPACE AT THE BOW,

THATS ABOUT IT FOR NOW........MORE CANT FRAMES TOO FIT!
