yamsterman got a reaction from Wishmaster in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF
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.
CHEERS.....MICK

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!!!

Hi Christian
Nice to hear my heath Robinson contraption is of some help!
The jig in the picture is mk3. Absolute accuracy is a must otherwise a tinyfraction of an inch or millimetre out leads to a cumulative error. The piece of brass I used as a key was 1/32 x 1\4 a stock price from k& s metals range. The milling cutter was an imperial size of 1\4 inch. All this was specific to this model.....so I would have to make another jig for a different model. The crucial thing was getting the distance from the brass key to the edge of the milling cutter at exactly 9/64 inch.
Once this is done its a quick process to run of a length of moulding.
I hope this makes sense.
Obviously you would have to adapt your measurements to suit.
Cheers....mick

Hi Ken
Thanks for stopping by.
Driving me nuts trying to get things to conform to the plans! Nice learning curve tho!
I have a feeling the cant frames will give me a headache as will those awkward fashion piece's at the stern.
All part of the fun of model ship building!
Cheers....,..mick

Hi David b
Thanks for looking in. Steady as she goes! Progress will be slow but sure I hope......lots of newthings to learn.....especially with these can't frames and hawse prices........seems to be a lot of info crammed into the frame drawings, may take a while to work out which line to cut too!
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
I've never used liver of sulphur before but reading through various logs on MSW leads me to believe that it won't stain the wood. I will do a test piece first too see how I get on.

Hi Patrick
I echo that sentiment!!!!!far more aesthetically pleasing sights!!!
Looking at the photos you can see a "score " line where the rabbet is....over exuberant use of a cutting gauge!!! This will be hidden I hope when I fit the garboard strake. Other than the garboard and one plank forward and aft I shall stick to the practicum pretty much.
Thanks for the appreciation Patrick....as ever I'm still in awe of your miniature marvels.
Cheers....mick
