HI ALL
WORK ON THE CANT FRAMES CONTINUES......NEXT PAIR HAVE BEEN FITTED.
THE ACRYLIC JIGS HAVE HAD A LINE SCRIBED ACROSS AT THE LWL LEVEL....HOPE THIS SHOWS IN THE PHOTOS.
THE NEXT TWO PAIRS OF CANT FRAMES WILL HAVE TO BE SUPPORTED BY A FRESH PAIR OF JIGS.......THIS AFTERNOONS JOB WHILST THE GLUES SETTING......UNFORTUNATELY DESPITE ALANS SUGGESTION TURNING THE CURRENT JIGS AROUND MEANS I CANT GET MY CLAMPS IN PLACE.
NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM THE BYRNES SAW WILL MAKE SHORT WORK OF MAKING A NEW SET......I SHOULD OF GIVEN MUCH MORE THOUGHT TO THESE JIGS IN THE FIRST PLACE........FILE THAT IN THE MEMORY BANKS FOR THE NEXT BUILD!
ANYWAY PHOTOS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR DELICTATION.
CHEERS.....MICK

Hi Kurt
Thanks to your supreme efforts,along with Jeff staudt and Mary's prompt dispatch of the plans I have my first full hull p.o.f on the building board.....a great introductory model....not too complicated but more than enough to present some interesting challenges! So thank you!!! It's a shame to can't have a go yourself but then there's only so manyhours in one day!
Before I tackle the rest of the stern area I'm planning on getting all the half frames and cants done fore and aft.
Midships frames are,hopefully , more straightforward.
She's quite broad and uniform in the beam so I suspect that this was an established design for cargo carrying utilised as an ad hoc gunboat at short notice?
The alternative rig would have required less manpower to operate?
Hopefully it will provide a nice contrast to the previously built sloop.....one for the Brits and one for the colonials!!
Cheers....mick

Hi Carl
Half frames are cut from multiple pieces...there's a fore and aft side both sides made from 1\8 inchstock giving a frame thickness of 12 inchs full size. Once fore and aft side are glued the respective bevels are worked in and then the frame bolts are simulatedwith copper wire.
The main sqaure frames are made exactly the same way except that now there's a floor timber and rebate for the keel to contend with.
I try and avoid going to the docs....they keep finding reasons to send me away and slice me up!!!!
Been falling apart ever since I reached 40!!!!
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
The counter fashion piece's? Yep I had a trial run at those to try and work out a method......must have got the wrong end of the stick with which bit you were interested in...oops!
Ideally those pieces need to be cut from a single piece approx 1 1\2 inchs wide by 4 inchs long by 1\2 inch thick.....with the test piece I laminated two1\4 inch pieces together.
The first profile I shaped was the stern view. I then superimposed the longitudinal plan on top of the previously shaped piece....trying to ensure the bottom and knuckle line corresponded with the previous piece. I did post some pictures in the previous post......if you would like I can rearrange those into a seperate post....pictures tend to be clearer than a thousand words.....these were only practise pieces and may not be good enough to include on the model....I need to get the stern framing up first and test fit them.
Hope this helps.
Cheers...mick

hi chuck
i had to look twice myself at the wing transoms.....and the rest of em!!!
the wing transom starts off as a sqaure block of timber,slightly thicker than is required but wide enough to paste the plan view on top.
i had a play around this morning and remade the piece in 1/24 scale,primarily because its easier to photograph and secondly it shows the round up better.
i havnt gone to any great lengths to finish the piece,made from a bit of ramin i had lying around,but the photographs should show the construction sequence in the order i did it.
the rear face of the wing transom need to have its face angled in order to be in the same plane as the rabbet of the stern post......not shown on the plans.
the ends of the transoms may need to have an angle planed on them in order to fit flush against the rear face of frame 22.......the bottom of the wing transom will fit against the top of the rear part of frame 22.
hope this makes sense.
the following photos should be in the right order for the construction sequence.

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.
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
I've never used liver of sulphur before but reading through various logs on MSW leads me to believe that it won't stain the wood. I will do a test piece first too see how I get on.
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 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
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 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

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

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

I can vouch for chucks heat bending with no water.
just used the same method to bend 3/32" x 1/4" boxwood for the washington galley.......first row of thickstuff.
