Hi Ken
Thanks for looking in. Those cant frames are proving a nice little challenge.....and the optivisors are a godsend especially with all those lines converging so closely together!
Cheers....mick

WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 5
HI ALL
TODAYS EFFORTS WERE MAINLY CONCERNED WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THE AFT CANT FRAME (N0 22).
ALL PARTS WERE CUT OUT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE LINES AS INDICATED ON THE PLANS,CAREFULLY GLUED UP,AND THEN THE RESPECTIVE BEVELS CUT.
ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW THE RESULTS.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE LOWER WING TRANSOM NEEDS TO HAVE ITS ENDS ANGLED SLIGHTLY IN ORDER TO FIT FULLY AGAINST THE REAR FACE OF THE CANT FRAME.
CHEERS.....MICK
THE OPTIVISORS ARE A RECENT AQUISITION.......I CAN NOW SEE WHAT IM DOING!!!!

WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 5 . MORE TRANSOMS STERN TIMBERS AND FUNNY BENDY THINGS.
HI ALL
BEEN BUSY BEAVERING AWAY MAKING LOTS OF SAWDUST.
STARTED MAKING THE STERN FRAMING COMPONENTS AND THE REST OF THE TRANSOMS.
ALSO DID A PRACTICE RUN WITH THE STERN COUNTER FASHION PIECES,THESE ITEMS ARE SOMEWHAT AWKWARD THINGS TO MAKE,I ENDED UP GLUING TWO PIECES OF 1/4" STOCK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO GET THE RIGHT THICKNESS. I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO CUT THESE FROM THE APPROPRIATE SINGLE THICKNESS......MAY BE ANOTHER ORDER TO TIMBERLINE! THE PRACTICE PIECES DONT LOOK TO BAD AND I MAY BE ABLE TO USE THEM......BUT THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE STERN FRAMING GOES TOGETHER AND I CAN PROPERLY TEST FIT THEM. ANYTHING NOT UP TO SPEC GETS REMADE!!!!!
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH SOME PHOTOS TOO SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

EXPERIMENT WITH LIVER OF SULPHUR.
THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO CHUCK SEILERS QUESTION AND ALSO TO SATISFY MY OWN CURIOSITY.
FIRSTLY I PURCHASED A 1 OUNCE JAR OF LIVER OF SULPHUR GEL (SEE PHOTO)
APPARENTLY IT LASTS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME WITH NO DEGRADE
BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU ACTUALY NEED THIS SHOULD LAST SEVERAL LIFETIMES!!!!
FIRST PHOTO IS OF THE PRODUCT ITSELF
THE NEXT SHOWS SOME 1MM COPPER IN A SCRAP OF BOXWOOD. I USED THE GEL NEAT FOR EXPERIMENTS SAKE ,LET IT DRY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WIPED IT OFF WITH A CLEAN TISSUE. COPPER WAS NICELY BLACKENED AND THE BOXWOOD WAS STAINED A GREENISH BROWN......NOT GOOD.
SECOND LOT OF PHOTOS SHOW SOME 0,6MM COPPER INSERTED INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOXWOOD BLOCK. THIS TIME I USED A SMALL DROP ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MATCH HEAD AND DISSOLVED IT IN AN OLD MUG OF WARM WATER. THE RESULT WAS A PALE YELLOW LIQUID.A SMALL MICRO BRUSH (SAME THING WOMEN USE TO PUT THEIR MASCARER ON WITH) WAS DIPPED IN AND WIPED OVER THE COPPER .
NICELY BLACKENED COPPER AND NO GREEN STAINS!!!!
LESS IS MORE WITH THIS STUFF.......IT ALSO STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN....SULPHUR YOU KNOW!!!
CHEERS....MICK

WASHINGTON GALLEY....PART 4.....TRANSOMS
TWO UPDATES IN AS MANY DAYS.......BUSY,BUSY.....CANT YOU TELL IM ON PAROLE FROM WORK!!!
PATTERNS HAVE BEEN PASTED TO SOME APPROPRIATE STOCK IN THIS CASE 1/4 " THICK,JUST TO ALLOW PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MANOUVER.
THE TAFFRAIL HAS BEEN PASTED TO 1/8" INCH STOCK.
THE WING TRANSOM HAS BEEN CUT AND SHAPED BUT IVE LEFT THE ENDS UNFINISHED AS YET AS I NEED TO MAKE THE AFT CANT FRAME AND ITS ASSOCIATED HALF FRAME IN ORDER TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING FITS.........OR DOSNT AS THE CASE MAYBE!
APART FRON A WEE BIT OF FETTLING IM HAPPY WITH THE FIT OF THE WING TRANSOM TO THE INNER STERN POST.
PHOTOS INCLUDED.
