kellrandy got a reaction from aviaamator in Triton (1:48) by kellrandy (Randall)
Hi everyone! Got the aft cant frames raised. Please let me know if you notice anything amiss or incorrect. I don't see anything too bad, and am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I haven't done any heavy fairing on them yet, that's the next step, and add the copper bolts to the floor futtocks. I am going to leave 20-23 or so a little thick until I get the aft square frames in so I make sure I don't take off too much. After fairing the aft portion, going to move onto the fore cant frames. Have a good one guys.

Richard,
I was looking through the plans again and noticed one called "28 Frame Notch". Where the notch is shown in the plan, it looks like the wing transom fits right into it with the small corner sanded off of the transom as shown in the plan for the transom. The back of the transom with the other little corner sanded off looks like it would fair right into the frame as you see in the other drawings. Might be something to look into further. Hopefully it helps some. Good luck with your build, it is looking very nice.

I think I'm back on track, now onto raising the aft cant frames. Here's photos of the stern section redo. I am very happy with it and think it looks better than the original attempt. Happy modeling everyone...

Howdy, everyone. Just wanted to chime in and let everyone know how the stern re-do was coming along. It has gone very well. I have the keel, stern post, inner post, deadwood, and transoms redone and they came out much better this go 'round. I'll have some pics of the rebuild tomorrow. Thanks everyone for all of the support and help I have received. I didn't think I would be able to recover, but a little patience and me being so methodical with every minute detail is paying off I think. I feel much better with its progress now and test fitting the frames has gone great. Everything is lining up the way it should now. Thanks again everyone.

Thank you, Tim. I needed that little reminder. I wasn't that big a fan of the patched stern post, so I started redoing that last night. I do want to be proud of it and not have any regrets when I look at it. I want to remember how a big mess it was and how I was able to make it right. Thanks again.

Stern rebuild progress...
Taking apart the keel wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be and went fine. Nothing came apart that shouldn't have. Have the two end sections ready to go as well as the stern post which I was able to reuse with a small patch on the bottom that's barely noticeable. Still contemplating redoing it because of the patch, but I think it looks good. Next up is the deadwood and two aft sections of false keel... again, lol.

Hi guys, rookie is back again...
So, I was all excited to raise my first frame, #28. Got the ends of the transoms prepped and ready to go then came the test fit with some rubber bands and as you can see from the pics, the width is way off. I have no idea where this error came from or how to fix it yet. If I push them out, to get the brace in-between, I won't even be able to attach it to the transoms. What boggles my mind even more, is that it fits fine on the template. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hope the blacking out is ok for the copyright stuff as I don't know how else to get my explanation of the problem across. Thanks in advance guys...

Hi everyone, been a while, but I have also been busy making the aft can't frames and they're ready to start raising. Not to many pics this time around. In one of my research books, it was stated that the frames were bolted with 1" copper bolts and also anchor chocks were placed in-between the futtocks. I did the bolting, but not the anchor chocks on the aft cant frames as I couldn't see exactly how to cut them into the futtocks before I faired them in. I do intend to place them into the square frames though. Next up is raising the aft frames them moving on to the fore cant frames and hawse pieces, then fill in the middle. Thanks to Guy and Daniel very much for the help with the angles, they worked out really well.
I'm all set to start raising them. Have some good scrap pieces to make the support block spacers and some walnut for the gunport lintels & sills, and a set of braces for the top to set the correct width. Until next time...

Hi all, back with a little bit more progress... The first set is the mounting to the board to get ready for framing. Since the build board is a pretty good size, I acquired some table legs with locking wheels so I could rotate it around to get to all aspects from any angle. Also, the mounting is set up the same way with as little in the way as possible without compromising security and support for the keel, stem, and stern. The second is the second go with the transoms, they're almost ready to glue in place, plus I have to remake filling #3, that's why it's not in the photos. I broke it in half while I was tapering it, oops. I learned quick not to cut the notch before I shape them, lol.
Build board mounting...
The transoms, test fitting...
Have a good week everyone!

Hi everyone, so I'm a day late in posting photos, but here they are. I'm still working on the board mounting system. I should have some pics of that method sometime this weekend.
