yamsterman got a reaction from dgbot in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame August 9, 2015

hi all
just a quick update.frames are now done and raised on the keel.ive used some fillers to brace the frames. these will be covered by the planking at a later date.the one thing i forgot to do was take some photos of the frames in the jig. i didnt make anything special as far as the jig was concerned just asimple right angle arrangement with frame c as a reference point.all frames aligned with frame c and braced and glued one at a time. all held together with a heath robinson contraption of clamps and elastic bands.

this will probably be the last post for a couple of weeks or so as im waiting for my new brynes saw to arrive.exciting!!!
i will need this to cut the planking and decking accurately.

cheers....mick

Hi all
Just ordered my table saw from Jim and Donna.belated birthday present to me!!!
Any advice on initial set up would be greatly appreciated. Should arrive in dear old blighty in the next week or so. Can't wait....better than Christmas!!!
I would love Jim to market an oscilating spindle sander.standard commercial stuff is too big and noisy.
Cheers...mick

yamsterman got a reaction from Pete38 in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame July 2, 2014

Hi Pete
Used the same technique as I did for the boxwood keel. I have a miniature version of a carpenters cutting gauge.use this to delineate the upper and lower edges of the rebate.these lines then act as a groove for the point of a 1\2inch butt chisel and I carefully remove the waste in a roughly triangular section. I then turn the cutting iron to act as a scrapper or scratch stock. The profile of the blade is not quite correct but it will establish a uniform depth,via the drawings. The groove is then finished of with a triangular file.seems to have worked both times!!!
