pete48 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share #98 Posted December 10, 2015 Here is a small progress report, But progress none the less, I started by looking for the box containing the parts that I had made, I then brushed off the Dust from the Deck, then cleaned up and Dry fit the parts. Next I located the sheet containing the Logos cut them out and applied them to the Bow ( I know that the year is wrong, these were the ones that fit best, so I went with it ) Next, Hopefully, this Weekend I will get the Mast and Boom made.

pete48 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share #103 Posted December 11, 2015 Today, I actually stayed Home from work, So I decided to start on making the Mast, First I took 1/4" square by 2' length of Bass wood and laid out the taper. I first mark what will be the Sail side of the mast ( marking out the spreaders and where the stays will be ) Next I cut the Front side of the Mast the taper wich is 1/8" to 0 over 2 feet. Next I did the same on both sides of the Mast ( Port and Starboard ).Next I rounded off the front side of the Mast giving the mast a foil profile. I then cut out the Boom as per plan and made the Gooseneck out of brass. I then installed the Gooseneck and dry fit it into the Boat. Next I marked out the Deck for the fore stay and side stays I then made the spreaders,( all the same size and length ) Drilled the holes for all the Stays, dry fit the eyes for the stays and glued the spreaders on the mast. next will be to sand the front of the spreaders to match the Mast and shorten the length of the top spreaders.

pete48 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share #105 Posted December 12, 2015 Hi Julie Mo, To cut out the Mast, I used a large X-ACTO knife with a #22 Blade ( it is pictured in the mast only shot with the Red handle ) I then used a few different wood files, followed by Sandpaper starting with 180 grit working my way up to 320 grit. The key is to take your time Best Regards, Pete UpstateNY, Julie Mo, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Mo Posted December 13, 2015 Share #106 Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks, Pete. I've been envisioning using a plane to get the rough shape then use different length pieces of MDF with PSA sandpaper attached to finish it off. For my guitar necks I start with a spokeshave but I think a plane would be better on a mast. We'll see...

michael mott Posted December 13, 2015 Share #107 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Nice work on the mast Pete. I am always surprised by your skills with the x-acto knives, I would have used a block plane. A trick I learned recently is to have a sub sheet covered with some 120 grit paper then place my wood to be planed on it so that I can plane fine strips and tapers. the grit holds the piece without any fuss and doesn't seem to create any issues with the side facing the sandpaper. Also the set on the plane needs to be very fine.

Mark Pearse Posted December 13, 2015 Share #108 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) When you see the mast, it's amazing to see how small the keel area is in relation to it, I suppose it's possible because their likely minimum speed is quite fast compared to a traditional yacht - or do they have dagger boards?

pete48 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share #109 Posted December 13, 2015 Hi Julie Mo, I think a block plane would work better than a spokeshave in this application, Thank you, Michael, I have used X-acto knives since I was a kid, I was about 10 years old when I got my first set for Christmas, ( I still use that wood box to house the knives, its 40 years old ) On the Mast tapering, I will have to try the trick you learned ( perhaps on the Buzzards Bay Mast ) Hello, Mark, There are Dagger boards ( port and starboard ) and the Keel swings and acts as a counter balance. its a very interesting design Best Regards, Pete Piet, Omega1234, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted December 14, 2015 Share #110 Posted December 14, 2015 Nice work on the Mast Pete. Yeah, I kinda like to rough my small tapers first with an x-acto followed with sandpaper. On the VOC ship I did use a mini block plane first, then in the drill press and sandpaper. It all depends on the diameter. Cheers, pete48, Omega1234 and mtaylor 3 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

pete48 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share #112 Posted February 13, 2016 After a Busy week, it was nice to get back in the shipyard, Today, I started by spraying the first coat of flat black to the Mast and boom. I then marked out and painted the Yellow triangle in front of the Mast step. I then cut out the forward hatch and started making the Primary winches, Next will be to finish making the winches and deck hardware, Nothing in the Cockpit including the forward hatch has been installed and is dry fit.

pete48 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share #119 Posted February 13, 2016 Today, I got started by getting the second coat of paint on the Mast and Boom. I then finished making the winches. I started cutting out some of the Logos for the boat, None of the winches or graphics have been applied, except for the logos on the Boom. Next will be to make the Boom vang and finish up the Cockpit details. Here are the results mtaylor, dgbot, SailorGreg and 2 others 5 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
