yamsterman got a reaction from Saburo in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF October 23, 2023

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

Hi Chuck
Thanks for looking in.
Currently doing some prep work.....building board , bow and stern support blocks etc. Will post some pictures of current progress asap.
Haven't actually cut any wood for the model yet!
Cheers....mick

Hi Christian
It is somewhat different. I decided to have a go as it looks like an ideal subject for a first attempt at a full pof hull.....not too many awkward half and can't frames and some interesting stern framing.....also only one main deck and fairly simple rigging. Should be a nice contrast to the previously built sloop from 1776.
Let's hope I can do it justice.
Cheers.....mick

Hi mike
Yep its lovely stuff! Almost a shame to cut into it.must have been fully awake when I lookedat the plans!
Cheers....mick

Hi Kurt
No probs...must have been a rare occasion when I was actually awake when I looked at the plans and practicum!.....I have a feeling I will be asking quite a few more questions when I get to the more " funky" parts of the build.
Cheers....mick

Hi Kurt
I will be going with chucks advice and placing the keel scarfs in the vertical plane...it makes sense to me and itwas common 18c practise.
Looking forward to getting started!
Cheers....mick

Hi Dave
Yep...can't wait to cut some timber. Gonna haveto get the next four nights back to grindstone out of the way first!
Cheers....mick

Hi all
I forgot to mention it in the opening post.
Regarding the keel scarfs....the plans and practicum show the scarf in the horizontal plane , I was under the impression,especially after looking through Goodwin,that 18c scarfs were cut in the vertical plane? Is this a peculiarity of colonial shipwrights? I'd hate to make a boo boo during the first piece of timber!
Also are there any written references/text books concerning the building of colonial naval ships at or about this time,1776?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers....mick

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

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
