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

Hi all
Thanks for stopping by mark and Ken. I'm not sure about learning anything from me!.......I may well be plundering your collective knowledge at some point especially when we get to the fiddly stuff!

Hi Carl
The jig thingy is called a sled or sledge. It runs on the two parallel mitre slots and is made to be square to the saw cut. Just a piece of mdf and some beech hardwood. You can attach stops to the uprights to enable multiple same length cutoffs,I used the edge of the slot for the saw blade to line up the previously marked patterns on the aft deadwood to cut the rebates....all nice and sqaure and to a consistent depth. Similar sleds are used on full sized table saws in carpentry and furniture making. There's one or two nice examples floating about on MSW.
Also keeps those digits away from the blade!!!!
Cheers ....mick

HI ALL
I THOUGHT ID LAUNCH A NEW TOPIC TO RUN IN PARALELL WITH CHUCKS CUTTER CHEERFUL.
PLANS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AND STUDIED FROM THE NRG.
PRACTICUM HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED.....I HAD THIS SPIRAL BOUND AT A LOCAL PRINT SHOP JUST TO KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
BOXWOOD HAS BEEN ORDERED AND DELIVERED....IN 2 DAYS!!!!!
 
I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO ORDER THE PRECUT PACKAGE FROM CROWN TIMBER.......HOWEVER WHILST I DO NOT DOUBT THE QUALITY OF JASONS PRODUCTS THE COST OF DELIVERY PLUS 20% VAT AND POST OFFICE HANDLING FEES WOULD HAVE PUSHED THE PRICE TO CLOSE ON £400.
 
I USUALLY USE A COUPLE OF COMPANYS FOR TIMBER ONE BEING ARKOWOOD AND THE OTHER BEING TIMBERLINE IN KENT ,UK.
I PHONED TIMBERLINE AND SPOKE TO BOB GIVING HIM A LIST OF REQUIREMENTS ( SCANTLING LIST IN BACK OF PRACTICUM) ALL IN IMPERIAL DIMENSIONS. THAT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING.
AT LUNCHTIME TODAY TNT TURNED UP WITH A NICE BIG PARCEL. ALL BOXWOOD TIMBER PROCESSED TO THE RELAVANT THICKNESSES IE THE CLOSEST METRIC EQUIVALENT.
 
THE 1/4 INCH THICK WORKS OUT AT 6.35MM.......AND IT IS!!
THE SAME APPLIES TO ALL OTHER THICKNESSES.
HOWS THAT FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE?
 
I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOB AND HIS TEAM HAVING DEALT WITH THEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW.
THE ONLY THING WORTH MENTIONING IS THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO PLANE A STRAIGHT EDGE ON SOME OF THE TIMBER SHEETS.....HOW HARD IS THAT FOR A MODELMAKER?....AS THE SHEETS ARE CUT FROM A FAIRLY ROUGH SAWN BILLET.
 
 
I DIDNT ORDER ANY 1/16 AS IALREADY HAD SOME ON STOCK. THE 1/32 IS MAINLY FOR DECK PLANKING FOR WHICH I INTEND TO USE SOME ENGLISH HOLLY.
 
AND THE PRICE FOR ALL THAT LOVELY BOXWOOD (IN 1METRE LENGTHS) ?
 
INCLUDING VAT AND DELIVERY IT CAME TOO £164  A SIGNIFICANT SAVING FOR ME.
 
BUILDING BOARD HAS BEEN PREPARED SO I GUESS WERE READY TO START.
 
BUT FIRST FOUR NIGHT SHIFTS HAVE TO BE GOT OUT OF THE WAY!

Hi Greg
Thanks for the alternative method.....never thought of using my Byrne's saw.....went straight for the Miller! There are various other joints to be cut and I shall give your method a go. Must re read the swan practicum and pick up some more tips
Cheers....mick
