Kevin, Looking fantastic. I hope you'll keep going. BTW, is the binnacle loose? Seems like it's not square in front of the wheel.

Nice work, Richard. The pinnace gets a second planking? The first looks great.

Nice work and it's great to see you back, Pasi.
-
Just amazing work on the carvings and everything else. I like the way you are doing the interior planking. That's a very interesting and different method.

I didn't wrap my mind around how small this was until I saw the picture with the watch... either it's a big wrist watch or this ship is really that small. Beautiful work

Chuck, Why wouldn't it be? There are no "second-class" builds here and all are respected equally.

The Bitumen Experiment
mtaylor replied to ChrisLBren's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
So are you going with the bitumen, Chris???? (pushes back on topic ) -
Markus, Have a look here: http://www.hobbymillusa.com/byrnes-saw-operation.php Particularly how he sets the fence further away from the blade at the rear of the blade. Yes, these saws are small which to me makes them more dangerous because we underestimate the damage that can occur. I use the featherboards (not religiously ) and pushsticks (always) and have still had kickback with a bit of wood flying off. Depending on the size of the flying wood, it can do some damage so I stand off to one side, just in case. Just exercise caution and don't get overconfident. I've managed to get bit and have spilled blood from every power tool I own. So far, I've been lucky... but I'm more cautious now.

Have you checked with Roman? I'm not finding that set anywhere. I'm wondering if it's from the Lumberyard?

Aw, let's give Alan until Sunday afternoon to read the whole thing and give us a review... I mean he got it Friday, right? On second thought... how about a preview review, Alan? First impressions and all that.

I had to look twice to make sure I was in the right build log. No bus.... Hmm...

Very nice work on the head. I take it you're filling the scrap box quickly which seems to be a common thread around here.
-
Ouch.. those puns... The red on the clamps is nice touch.

Ben, I may get another run at them... I still have to final shape and fair them.
-
That is one well-used ship, Kees. I love the weathering included the bent rail at the stern.
-
Beautiful work and photography, Matti. The second and third pictures made me do a double-take as it looks like the real thing.

Thanks for the likes and comments. Mike, You have good eyes. There's a couple of places like that on the framing where I got a bit carried away sanding. At some point in the fairing, I'll fill the low spots with a bit of wood as I know I'm not 100% accurate on the cutting. I wouldn't ignore them but as I said, they can be filled and faired in. If you look close, you'll see at the bow and stern that I've already filling in some where the "points" on the frame didn't got all the way to the rabbet. I figure, with luck, I've got a about a weeks worth of work on fairing ahead of me.

Thanks for the likes and comments. I hope to, tomorrow, Pat. No time this evening. John, I think you're right. I look at the plans and the cutting drawing and said, "no big deal"... 3 times. Patience I have plenty of, along with sandpaper. You got it, Augie. I've attached a drawing. I'm not quite there yet as everything has to be blended, See the drawing. The bow actually isn't that simple as it tapers forward as well as down. Hmm... I smell a challenge there. Turnabout is fairplay. Indeed Adam. I'm staring at those "aww cruds" and trying to picture in my mind fixing them. Luckily, I'm not seeing any show-stoppers. And you're not fooling me, I've seen your builds.

Tom, If you would, go to the New to the Hobby/MSW section and introduce yourself. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/3-new-to-the-hobby-or-the-nautical-research-guilds-msw/ And then when you're ready, open a build log. You'll find it's the fastest way to get help and encouragement.

Yeah for me...after 11 days and 3 tries, the hawse timbers are cut, assembled, shaped, and installed. They still need lots of sanding but it's best (from my point of view) to blend into the framing plus there's an inside curve down down low that becomes the outside curve as it rises. I'm thinking it's best to try it this way. There's also still a ton of fairing to do and I want that done and out of the way before attacking the stern. So the next update my be awhile. I'm debating whether to drill out the hawse ports or put in the plugs and leave the anchors unrigged. My reasoning is that I'm considering full rigging and sails for this one.

Ah... thanks Nigel. I wasn't quite sure it was the same beast.
