Yes, but it's very nice cutting, sanding, fitting and gluing -
You're going to do just fine at this ship building business.

Thanks Wefalck, I was thinking that the flexibility would also be helpful in bendy Viking ships.

I'd make little dowels out of basswood and fill the predrilled holes, then drill correct holes myself. Either that or call Model Shipways and get a better part.

Yeah, I think Keith is on the right track here. That kind of cold with two materials with differing expansion/contraction rates with respect to temperature bonded together... something bad might happen.

They don't explain why they're using willow for the treenails, do you know why (other than I assume the Anglo Saxons used willow)? I mean, what characteristics of willow make it suitable for treenails?

CA the carriages to the deck. However, I'm not voting for you to redo, it's your ship and you should do what makes you happy,

Model Shipways is part of Model Expo. I would reach out to them and see what the printing/availability status is for this set particular set of plans.

Good luck on the build Paul!

We look forward to Catfield Shipyard's output!

Called 1-2-3 blocks because that's their dimensions, one inch by two by three. They're standard machining setup tools with precision ground 90 degree angles and dimensions.

Byrnes Table Saw on Ebay UK
vossiewulf replied to No Idea's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
If she's really turned a corner and Byrnes products are going to be available again, it would be nice if say the NRG sent her a congratulations card on behalf of all the modelers at MSW. -
I hate that moment when I realize my cunning plan is not in fact cunning after all.

The planks above the wales have to turn a pretty sharp curve into the above-water bluff part of the bow. From the wales down the lines are pretty fine and there isn't much bending.
-
I wish I had better advice, but I have yet to make coils for belaying pins myself so haven't yet figured out what my plan A would be. But I have faith you'll figure it out
-
I'm never surprised when I have to go to plan B. I'm just glad when it stops there and I don't end up at like plan D

If wood is breaking before making the bend, it's not hot enough. Bending wood is a matter of getting it hot enough that lignin plasticizes and it doesn't really matter which way you get it hot, you just need to get it to that temperature. Steaming is good because it gets the wood uniformly up to boiling temp, but you can use an iron or a heat gun.

Thanks Dan! It's the C3 SIEG 7x14 lathe. It's basically the same as the lathe I have except it's newer, has a somewhat more powerful motor, and has a bed that's 4" longer. Long enough to turn a decent mainmast between centers, I'm really not confident I could do a good job with the top turning free.

Thanks Pat! The lathe was packed pretty well. I'm guessing it took a pretty significant drop onto concrete to rip the electronics box off like that. But thankfully looking at it it otherwise seems well, although obviously I can't run it to do thorough tests. But I am less than happy that I have to repair something that happened before I took possession of it, and I'm going to mention that to Little Machine Shop. I still have to replace my mill that died and I was assuming I'd buy the Hi-Torque LMS mill, but this hasn't encouraged me.

Just FYI for anyone following, I managed to injure my back early last week and have been mostly bedridden since. It is getting better, slowly. Also I am kind of stuck on the Lady Nelson, because of the tight fit of the jibboom I will need to rig the forestay before mounting the jibboom, which means I need to make the mainmast first. I decided to replace my 7x10 lathe with a 20 year newer 7x14 lathe so I could turn the mainmast for Lady Nelson between centers, as well as accommodating the need to also turn much longer yards and masts in the future. But of course there have been delays. Specifically the lathe arrived with the electronics box having been ripped off in transit, nice. So I am waiting for a wholly new electronics box from Little Machine Shop to repair the lathe so I can turn the mast and get back to making progress. Hopefully between back and lathe I will be on the positive side of things by late next week.
