  4. I used Maple for the deck planking on my Xebec build. It`s a very nice wood to work. Regards mij
  5. This the way I made my hinges on my Xebec. I cut a piece of tube to length. I used soft solder to solder the tube to the strap. One hinge ready for the fixing holes
  6. This is what I always use. A feather board and a push stick. An on/off foot pedal. Regards mij

  8. One`s always curious whats inside a model, how it was built and other knowledge. Nice build Keith Kind Regards mij
  9. This is the way I bend my planks. Bending 4x1mm cherry over a home made plank bender. The planks are placed in cold water for about 10 minutes, then taken out of the water and then placed over the hot plank bender and worked to the shape you require. Use the water as frquently as required. Kind Regards mij

  11. The way I tension my blades is to tighten the blade with the tension knob until you can flick your finger on the blade and get a clear ting from the blade. Hope this makes sense mij
  12. She`s coming along just fine John, I`ll follow your progress. Regards mij
  13. Hi John All I worked with was a set of drawings and everything was scratch built. The carvings were my own design and were carved from box wood. To loosen the grating area, try lifting the glued wood with a scalpel, But be very gentle. Good luck mij
  14. Hi John If you look on my Xebec log, you will see how I done my grating. Kind Regards mij
  15. Hi Dan A very nice professional job, I look foreward to seeing more of your great work. mij
