Thanks Anthony!

 

Here is the promised update.

Success! I was able to keep the side pieces in place and then attach the

corner pieces, the correct term is angled bulkhead, but I like corner better.

The biggest problem after getting the length right was using enough glue

to hold the sides together but not gluing the sides to the beams.

Once the glue had set marked the placement of the angled carlings I carefully

removed the assembly. I the placed the angled carlings sanded it down and

then permanently glued the pit assembly in place.

The deck was sanded smooth and I applied wipe on poly to the side (starboard)

that will not be planked.

Rusty,

 

    She is looking better and better every time you post and update. Thank you for sharing this with us. Do you think you will be going to CT this year? If so Please bring her, I do want to see it in person like I have seen your other works before.

Wacko

Thanks Joe, It is my intention to go but I have to keep life in line. Last year she interfered big time. :o

Beautiful work, Rusty.   Looks like something that would be both fun and a bit scary at the same time.

Thanks Ben and Grant.

 

Hi Mike, It is fun and a bit scary. The plans are great but there are no instructions

so it’s just flip through the pages of plans and hope my interpretation is correct. :huh:

Hi Rusty.

First Class on the corners and getting the angles just so. :)

Lookin real nice.

Sometimes interpreting the unknown is a inventive discovery of something that no one else has done before.( sounds ok in my brain mmm) .

As dyslexia takes a hold.

Nice work.

Thanks Antony. Yes wandering through the mind can be quite something at times. :o

 

I’ve now started on the main hatch cover. The first thing I did was cut the hatch cover

boards, boxwood, to length, soak them and then bend them over a scrap piece of wood

to get the correct curve. I let them dry like that for 24 hours.

The coaming and head ledge, swiss pear, were then cut out and assembled. The boards

installed and the hatch set temporarily in place. I marked its location for installation

later. I also still need to install the lifting rings.

I didn’t want to permanently attach it until I had the decking done. It’s easier for me to

sand and finish the decking if it’s removable. Also in the last two pictures you can see

the waterways have been placed and they too are made from swiss pear.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Elmer, Thank you and welcome aboard.

 

Thank you Dave.

 

Hi Floyd, Thank you but I’ve seen your work and you are being too modest.

 

Hi Bob, Thanks and not to worry. I’m planking just one side so we will be

able to see some of the framing.

 

Thank you Michael.

 

I've started planking and will have some pictures tomorrow. :)

Beautifully executed, as always, Rusty. The wood combinations are very nice too.

Posted (edited)

Thanks Greg. Not much, maybe 1/64”. I always over bend them hoping to

compensate for the spring back.

 

Thanks grant. It’s always fun for me to mix in different woods.

 

I’ve milled all the holly needed for the decking and have started laying them.

Again I am using black paper to simulate the caulking. Hopefully later tonight

I well get to the area around the hatch completed.

Thanks Augie, Yes the holly, like all the wood from Hobby Mill, is really nice and fun to work with.

 

Thanks Chuck much appreciated.

 

Hi Bob, Thanks and your Essex is coming along very nicely too!

 

I have completed planking half of the gun deck. One plank had to be notched to fit around the hatch.

It doesn’t adhere to planking procedures and it is a little too thin but close enough. There won’t be

any rot issues anyways. At least I hope not! ;)

The hatch has not beeen glued in place yet as I have to sand and scrape the deck, treenail and seal it.

Hi Jeff.

WOW thar looks impressive and the timber selection is spot on :)

Is there a reason you started planking from the side to the centre ? Just curious.

Nice workmanship Rusty.

Antony, Thanks. The plans showed it that way with the last plank at the

center half width. I kind of liked the look so I went with it.

Purely done for the look. :)

Rusty!!

 

That deck planks looks like white marble to me. Always a pleasure to see your log, so neat, so clean...

 

Have you been staining with oil the deck and the hull as the model grow up? or are you going to finish the whole thing when completed?

 

Best wishes.

 

 

Daniel.

Thank you Daniel. The build may be clean but I sure have got to clean up the shop before I can

do anything else. I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to putting things away! :blink: 

 

As far as sealing the wood goes if I have finished a section and no more gluing will be done I apply

a coat of MinWax Wipe on Polyurethane satin finish. This seals the wood and helps protect it.

Also with so many nooks and crannies it would be really hard to apply later.

OK you may have thought it was tongue in check when I said I had to clean the

shop before I continued.

 

post-43-0-26034000-1428519612_thumb.jpgpost-43-0-97116200-1428519618_thumb.jpg

 

 

You see I am the type who likes to spend as much time

as possible working and I just jump from one step to the next. If what is on my

desk isn’t needed for the next portion of the build I just push it aside and onward

I go. Well seeing that there was no workspace left for me to start cutting the

red heart for the inboard planking it was time to clean. :(

 

So I just spent the last 3 hours cleaning and now it's be full steam ahead this weekend! :D

The juxtaposition of the superbly clean model and the workspace was amazing!
