Beef Wellington Posted July 10, 2017 #841 Posted July 10, 2017 That boat looks great Jessie. I can't believe how thin you must have been able to get the base structure to allow you to double plank inside and out, sure patience played a big part. Very nice work.

JesseLee Posted July 11, 2017 Author #843 Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks for the comments and likes! Added the frames. Even after soaking the strips when bending them to the sides they still wanted to crease a little. Light sanding took care of it for the most part. Getting the same number and spaced out the same as the instructions took some figuring but I finally got it. The floor boards were fairly simple to do. Began constructing the bow and stern gratings. They still need to be cut to size and trim added.

JesseLee Posted July 18, 2017 Author #848 Posted July 18, 2017 Thank you everyone. Got the grates in added the thwarts and windlass. Lyme is playing with my memory and I forgot to take pictures of these steps being constructed. It was all fairly simple, just did as instructed. The only problem I had was shaping those tiny knees. I re-did one to show how I made them. They are so small I couldn't make them very well. I finally came up with this and it made it easier for me. I took scrap pieces of grating strips and cut off a corner, . This way it was almost already pre-formed. Shaped the curves with a needle file and there you are.

GaryKap Posted July 18, 2017 #851 Posted July 18, 2017 Great work, Jesse. Thanks for sharing your idea on making those tiny knees. I think a person has to have actually BUILT one of these small boats to appreciate the quality of your work. I know it was quite a challenge for me. Looks like you are mastering it. Can't wait to see your completed boat. Keep the pictures coming. By the way, I have ordered Model Shipways "Confederacy" (back ordered) and when studying Chuck Passaro's instructions, I was amazed at how much his design of a ships boat has evolved from "Syren" to "Confederacy". Take a look: http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Confed/chapter19.pdf He starts out with a plank of bulkhead hull that morphs into a plank on frame. Very clever. I will likely be starting a build log so you will see whether it is easier or harder... <<Gary>> mtaylor, kier, Tigersteve and 9 others 12 Quote current build: SYREN nearly done: Fair American, Benjamin W.
