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!

Don,
I sent you a PM on the re-sizing problem rather than hijack Mick's topic.

Don....why not actually start a build log of your own. I do think it would be much better and so not to have kinda to builds going on in one topic. I think it would be easier to ask your questions that way. We would all love to see your Washington develop and progress.

Hi druxey
Thanks for looking in.
Yep that's pretty much the way I'm going about it.....this is quite a small model even in 1/48 scale....being a clumsy sod sometimes I think if I tried to cut the rebates for sills and sweep ports after the frames are assembled I'm inviting a disaster.....so rebates are cut as frames are built....the acid test will be when the frames are up and a nice flexible batten is run along the the bottom edges do we arrive that lovely gentle sweep as per the plans?
But then again there's always isopropanol and some early Anglo Saxon language!!
Cheers....mick

Hi don
Great to see someone else building the Washington galley.....a nice introduction to a fully framed pof hull.
I did have to study the plans very carefully.....the practicum is a suggested order of building only and didn't give any measurements.
With regards to the keel I measured it as 3/16 inch thick (moulded dimension) by 7/32 inch in height....this was then cut on the Byrne's saw. The hog or rising wood that the frames are notched into was made as a seperate piece and again cut from 3/16 inch wide piece but 3/32 inch in height. The scores are 1/4 inch wide for the frames and each score is exactly 9/64 inch apart and 1/32 inch deep.
All other components for the stem are cut from 3/16 inch stock.....photocopy the relevant bits from the plans and cut out to use as templates.
The deadwood fore and aft were cut from several individual pieces of 1/8 inch stock. The stern post has to be cut from 1/4 inch stock as it tapers from its head to where it joins the keel.
The false keel was also cut from 3/16 stock 1/16 inch thick.
Hope this info helps
Cheers....mick
