Charter33 got a reaction from mtaylor in Woodwork/Model making workshop. Scale 1:1
That's right - model making area at the far end, wood turning lathe on the right, and woodworking bench to the left at the near end.

There are quite enough gun ports and gun muzzles on a model of Victory to last a lifetime, without adding more to the workshop itself, Ron 🤣
....but the Admiral's input to the build was a request for a weather vane above the door, and you've now planted the seed of an idea..... and I love a challenge!

Charter33 got a reaction from Old Collingwood in Woodwork/Model making workshop. Scale 1:1
Installing the floorboards started with a plan, much used throughout the build, and now well worn....
In keeping with the nautical flavour there was only one method guiding the laying, the four step butt planking pattern.
Once a board was cut to an appropriate length fixing holes were pre-drilled with a 12 mm spade bit and each piece secured to the sub-floor.
A 1/2" plug cutter was used to convert offcuts of boards into covers for the screws.
Mixing metric and imperial tools in this way resulted in a nice tight fit. Once these plugs had been glued in place a sharp chisel made quick work of getting them level and flat.
The floor after sanding -
No, not quite treenails, but visible at this scale?
Oh yes, but nice and subtle.....
The first coat of finish has been applied,
the second and final coat will go on tomorrow evening after a light sanding.
Cheers,
Graham

Charter33 reacted to Tim Moore in Triumph 3HW by Tim Moore - Italeri - 1/9
The first side of one wheel successfully re spoked, so 3 more to do. Should look ok with some touch ups.
