  1. Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch the video of the online course. Afterwards I tried to represent a 2D reconstruction, which I have done in Autocad 2014, with Rhino. Enclosed is a screenshot of my first attempt. Next I have to extend the stern accordingly.

    Many thanks to @Richard Dunn for his cursus, which was a big help for me to go my first steps with Rhino 7.

  2. I have both woods in my stash. Boxwood is harder than yellow cedar. Bother timber you can combine with holy and a light colord pear.

    I think it is a personal decision which timber you use. As Chuck has to have a look at the costs of the parts/model he offers, his choice is excellent.

    I like to work with both timbers.

  3. This week I got  a "little" parcel with really nice milled boxwood from hobymill.eu. Vahur put also some extra sheets and wood samples to my order.

    The timber has real nice color and was excellent packed. Also the contact and information of Vahur was great.

     

    Hobbymill gets from me of five possible. Highly recommended

  4. Thank's very much. Let's answer your questions:

    Nice start! Will you be milling templates for every frame?

     

    In the moment, this is my plan but I don't know if I will change this with more experience in frame building. The advantage of the method are the different levels, which make the build much easier.

    Are you gluing up the frames while in the jig, and if you are, any problems arising with the frame being glued into the jig and having problems getting it out?  

     

    By the testframe I did not have any problems, to get the frame out. I don't need much glue during the build. You can also use a colophane foil or a thin layer of clear varnish to avoid problems.

    Are you using a CNC mill?   

     

    Yes, I got one last year. The idea is a first result of my learning curve. I have a lot of other ideas, but for these I have to learn 3D construction. All my drawings are in the moment in 2D and for Triton I will not change this.

     

  5. The last two years I needed my workshop as homeoffice. I started building Cheerful at the dining table, but this was also not a good idea. Now I am back in my office which gives me the possibility to use my workshop as shipyard again.

     

    To practice I build a test frame from an old piece of wood.

    Instead of a paper base, I milled a template from plywood, which already takes into account the different thicknesses of the futtocks.

    On this template, the futtocks were first glued together and then the chocks were added.

    Finally a photo of the finished test-frame.

    Now I can start with the serial production.
