Hi All, Well the Winnie is in dry dock, I've finished the Cazador for my grandson, things have calmed down and now I'll start my build log for Chucks Syren Ship Model Company's HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 in 1:48 scale. The model will also be fully rigged. I plan on using a lot of Chucks available laser cut parts. Most of the wood used in the model will be boxwood except for the deck which will be holly and the bulkheads which are plywood. I know there are plenty of great Cheerful’s being built here and anything I do won't be different from those build. I've listed the build here as a scratch build but quite honestly with Chuck's laser cut parts it's a lot like a kit.The plans and practicum are Chuck’s usual splendid work. Easy to understand and very precise. Here are the laser cut bulkheads. The two halves of the bulkhead former weighted waiting for the glue to dry. The keel attached. All of the bulkheads added and drying. Lots a sanding to do next to fair the bulkheads.

Dust collection and extraction
Rustyj replied to Trussben's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hi Ben. I too use the dust deputy and it really works well. I filled the collection bin on it and there was almost no dust in the shop vac. Because of this there is no loss of suction. The also have larger set ups should you so desire. -
You may have to pry the little boat out of the docs hands! I see him wanting to keep them both!

Tool for Sanding Inside of Curved Pieces
Rustyj replied to ChrisLBren's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hi Chris. I've used the dremel in their drill press stand, a bench top drill press with spindle sanding drum and a full sized oscillating sanded for thicker pieces. All worked for me you just have to get a good rhythm. Speed wise a low to medium speed worked well. Anything faster burned the wood. -
She's looking soooooo good. Enjoy thanksgiving with your family.
