i had a good idea just how much work goes into a full scratch build, after all i have been watching it happen for years, i just never appreachiated how difficult it was lol anyone following my first attempt at a single frame from the cross section build will see how difficult is am finding it and i tried my cotton socks at it
-
Very nice, its a shame we could not have seen the full progress from the start
-
lovely work i have just revisited your terminated log, you seam to be enjoying it much more this time around
-
Thank you for the advice, appreciated I went for the Hegner in the end and ordered it last night, maybe I will never get my head around scratch building, and perhaps never achieve anything of any standard, but as mentioned - it wont be the tools - lol
-
looking very good, nice to see you posting again
-
wonderful work and congratulations on her completion, i will follow you into the dark side with many returns to the kit side as i bring the Victory towards a finish

£359.00 thats a lot of money but the reviews seam ok, in fact i dont see a bad one, but thats would be the HMS Druid money used up - lol oh the dilema

i think i have found the problem, i was just out playing with it, and it well, packed up on me, pre empted by some smoke and a bang

Nigel i have no confidence in the scroll saw, new blades in it and adjusted to be taught- it still keeps snagging the wood i did the initial seperation of all the parts and then went around them again leaving a lot to sand, which i did the same way as you, Next weekend i will try and cut along the blue/red lines and see if in the mean time get hold of an alternative scroll saw
-
well i give my self 2/10, one of them for being a sunday too many big gaps,i need to improve a sanding technique, what a great day, and looking forward to Lewis winning the F1 race will make it just perfect
-
Nigel Thankyou its a steep learning curve for me, kits have everything i want, (lol apart from not wanting a kit) so far today i have printed the plans of frame 0 and then cut out the 11 individual bits cut my Pear down to planks of 50mm x 5mm used copydex to secure plans to the pear learnt how to tune the scroll saw and had an attempt at shaping all the bits - been my biggest headache so far within a few hours i will have made frame zero (not very well) but as stated before i am teaching myself how to do this, next weekend i will do it again and hopefully be better

im having fun, but not doing so well, i will post some photo in a few hours
