Definitely buy the entire laser cut package and save yourself the trouble. Alaskan yellow cedar is a wonderful wood that sands like a dream, holds a wonderful sharp edge and looks very uniform with very little grain showing. -
It’s not too late to lower it. Your second one aft looks good. Just add a little filler piece on the top and slightly lower the bottom frame. Will take some minor surgery but it’s possible. looking good otherwise. JJ

Looks fantastic Chuck! Truly a work of art! When do you estimate you will have chapter 5 complete and available?

I think most all of the builders in this group have traced it on to a sheet and carefully cut it out. I bent a strip about halfway then joined it with a curve that was cut from a sheet of cedar and it worked well.

I enjoy helping you avoid all the mistakes I made on my build! It’s like a second shot for me without all the sanding! i think the battens I got were spruce from Home Depot, the ended up being very well behaved and I nailed them below the lowest wale line and used them to actually place the first strake and pulled them off later. It helped with the curve but was a little messy removing them. JJ

3d printing crew figures
scrubbyj427 replied to highlanderburial's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Hey Guys, I’m about to purchase a 3D printer I think and it seems like resin is the way to go for detail. Seems like the anycubic photon is a hot item. Can any of you experienced modelers give any advice? Also curious about sculpting software, I’m currently running rhino and considering stepping up to version 7, is there any good plug ins for producing good carvings? Thanks for any input. JJ -
That looks like a nice run, just make sure it’s perfectly even on both sides, I ended up with about a 1/32-1/64 difference in the waist which isn’t too noticeable and didn’t really affect anything but still annoying. Also it’s easier to fair up that batten if you keep the nails at a necessary minimum. Go super slow with that first plank as it will define the rest of them. You can fudge the Wales a bit of you need to though, I did. It’s in my log. JJ

So now you have a small teaser of what your planking will look like! Should be motivation enough. i just bought some spruce strips at the hardware store and ripped them through my saw to make a few battens.
-
Throw the WOP on.... you’ll be staring at it for quite awhile while you are planking, it may as well look good!😁
-
Looking good Ron. The gunports look to all be in a nice line with the sheer, bollards look good as well. Don’t sweat them too much as you’re going to bury all that pretty work in black paint!!!. JJ
-
That looks very nice! What excellent motivation!

Glad to hear you purchased the boxwood carvings, you will not be disappointed... you may even end up owning a cnc machine you’ll be so impressed. Looking forward to seeing your progress! JJ
-
This looks to be an exciting chapter! Well done Chuck. Will be ordering as soon as it’s available. JJ

Wow! I really like that. Now I really want to model Minerva!
-
Thank you Jim, I’m going to run through this again. thanks, JJ

Hi Roger, I have a brand new extra extended fence. PM me if you are interested. JJ
-
This is outstanding work! I remember seeing the beginnings of this ship around 2008 at the Batavia wharf, I was sad to hear that she will not be completed. Where did the plans come from? JJ
-
Hi Frank and welcome to the build! It’s a fantastic project that will definitely elevate your shipbuilding skills. You should be able to order the cnc boxwood carvings from msw member Jack @hjx. I used them on my Winnie and they look fabulous, like a master carved them by hand! There’s also the resin ones through Syren which a lot of the guys are using and they are also extremely convincing if colored correctly. good luck with your Winnie and start posting right away! JJ
-
Can anyone here who has a Byrnes saw give me a pointer on what’s happening here? I can’t see what’s going on but my rip fence seems to be off about 1degree. Hopefully it shows in these photos. Thanks for any advice, JJ edit: problem solved, everyone please be careful when setting up their rip fences!!! Mistakes can be made!
-
Looks good Ron, just check and double check those stern frame angles, as chuck said they are super important when it comes time for the q galleries. Mine were just a smidge off and I could see the error, luckily it didn’t set me back much but it’s there. Your counter planking and hull planking intersections should go smooth.
-
If I ever build another Winnie I’d probably do it exactly the way you did. Glue up your lower counter planking now and test run some planks and see how it looks at that intersection. The only thing I see is that the top of your filler blocks don’t quite meet the lower edge of the frames, where the lower counter planks will land But it Should work and looks good to me so far. JJ

Looks good Rusty, glad you took the plunge first so we can all follow now. Lol JJ
