yamsterman got a reaction from robin b in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame April 26, 2015

hi all
just a quick update to show current progress.
pretty much finished with the majority of the woodworking just got to make the various ladders and gun carriages.
ordered some brass canons from rb models in poland as ive just got rid of my cheap chinese made lathe.
considering purchasing a peatol/taig , reviews seem good, any thoughts?

metal work for the gangboard supports , stanchions for entry ropes and stanchions for gangboard rails are made and blackened but not overly happy with the blackening process so they will be cleaned off and redone.

cheers.....mick

hi all
been beavering away,inbetween getting the sloop finished, and have managed to get some more done on the cross section.

external planking above the whale completed in pyrenean boxwood , treenials in castello box.

internal bulwarks planking also done in satine bloodwood. treenails in pear. i was going to use pink ivory but the darn stuff has so much interlocked and wavy grain its bloomin difficult to thickness by hand , no matter how sharp the plane.

i think im trying to justify buying jims thickness sander!!!!

currently in the process of cutting some holly for the external planking below the whale.

bits built ready to be installed.

deck hatches built and gratings fitted.

any and all comments welcome!!!!!!!

p.s. the last photo shows what happens if you dont think ahead.having glued everthing together feeling quite pleased with myself it came time to trial fit the bits............doh!!!.......wheres the isopropanol!!

hi all
the glazing has now been installed in the case and the back panel temporarily placed in position.
im waiting for a particular item to be delivered from across the pond in order to complete the back panel......all will be revealed in good time.

since ive got a few days off i shall take some construction photos of the case construction, esp for kees as he asked , but it may be of interest generally.

cheers for now.....mick

hi all
this will be the last post with regards to this little sloop. its been a fun build and a learning curve. there are still a few things to do namely rope coils for rigging points,and a brass plaque for the pedastal,which has been sent away for engraving. i will start the case next week whilst i have some free time.....no work for a week....yipee!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for all the likes and positive encouragement.
