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

Hi Carl
Transmission are awkward little blighters.....maybe more than one remake! I did try and find the lower part of the stem that I'd previously rejected due too poor fit....but its been confined to the scrapbox in fact Jones locker in a fit of angst!
Thinking of changing my moniker to Mick " lovely bum" yamsterman........not so sure the thumbnail would be appropriate for this site !!!!
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
Yes that is copper you see! 0.6mm copper wire to represent the bolt heads.......I've got some liver of sulpur ready to blacken the heads once the final sanding been done.

WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 1
HI ALL
WOOD HAS FINALLY BEEN CUT.
STARTED WITH BASIC KEEL COMPONENTS.
MAIN KEEL CUT 3/16 WIDE BY 7/32 DEEP. FALSE KEEL 3/16 X 1/16. HOG 3/16 BY 3/32.
ALL CUT FROM SHEET MATERIAL ON THE BYRNES SAW.
I DECIDED TO DO THIS IN THREE SEPERATE PIECES AS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PROFILE THE REBATE.
THE HOG(?) HAS PROVED TO BE QUITE A TASKING PIECE TO MAKE ACCURATELY. THE PIECES IN THE PHOTOS ARE THE FOURTH ATTEMPT!!!!
I ORIGINALLY ASSUMED THAT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DOUBLE FRAMES,WHICH ARE 1FT THICK(SIDED) OR 1/4 INCH ON THE MODEL WOULD BE EQUAL TO 0NE FRAME THICKNESS OR 6INCHES IN REAL LIFE (1/8inch) ON THE MODEL.A QUICK MEASUREMENT LATE A NIGHT SEEMED TO CONFIRM THIS.
WRONG!WRONG!WRONG!............MEASURE TWICE OR EVEN THRICE.......CUT ONCE!
THE ACTUAL MEASUEMENT IS 9/16 ON AN INCH.
IN ORDER TO CUT THIS ACCURATELY I HAD TO DEVISE A JIG FOR THE MILLING MACHINE
( SEE PHOTOS)
BUILDING BOARD AND FRAME PLAN PREPARED AND ALMOST READY FOR USE.
A FEW JIGS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE FOR HELP IN FRAME ALIGNMENT....BUT THESE MAY HAVE TO BE REDONE AS THEY MAY BE ON THE CLUNKY SIDE.
THATS ABOUT ALL FOR THE MOMENT.....BACK TO WORK WE GO
CHEERS....MICK

Hi Chuck
Rebates on the fore and aft deadwood were cut with the Byrne's saw set to1/32 nd inch.once the two outside edges were established the waste was carefully "nibbled" away with successive saw cuts......it leaves a nice flat bottomed rebate of consistent depth any saw marks were removedwith a small fine file.
The rebates for the keel were covered in part one...I decided to make the rebates component(hog,rising wood?) As a seperate piece with the aid of a small jig for my mini milling machine.
Cheers.....mick

Hi Carl
Confession time!!!!!
I wasn't happy with the fit of the lower part of the stem too the keel......so out came the isopropanol!!!!!
New part made and fitted....now it fits properly to the keel!
First redo and probably not the last!
Cheers....mick
