pete48 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted June 3, 2015 Today, (with the bad weather we currently have ) I concentrated on getting the Cockpit put together. I started by cutting strips for the Cockpit Floor. I then cut them to length and sanded them to 400 grit ( I will put a coat of varnish on them ) I then made the bulkhead sides that make up the face of the Cuddy cabin. I sanded them to 400 grit and stained them Cherry red along with the seat bases and aft cockpit bulkhead. ( wich has a piece of Birch ply on it ) Once the parts were made up I started by gluing the Cabin bulkheads in followed by the Cockpit Floor. I cut out the cockpit seats ( they have not been glued in at this point) Next will be to make up the seat backs and Cockpit coamings .

pete48 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share #38 Posted June 4, 2015 A busy day today, I started by making the seat backs ,and installed them. I then cut out the Cockpit coamings and put them in rubbing alcohol. I then painted the Deck a sand color, next (after roughly 3 hours ) I bent the Coamings . I then sanded them to 600 grit and installed them. I then made the Cabin top sanded and installed it. I then made the aft cockpit coaming sanded and installed. I finished up by staining the coamings and seat backs a cherry red. The seats have not been glued in yet ( I have not decided weather to paint them white or stain them ) Next will be to get the Hull painted ( white with blue antifouling paint ) Here are the results Elmer Cornish, mtaylor, yvesvidal 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...
Jay 1 Posted June 4, 2015 Share #39 Posted June 4, 2015 Pete, the cockpit and combing really look fantastic! Was the 3 hours for the combing so that it could dry or did you need to just bend a bit at a time? I think shaping those combings are tricky as can be and yours looks great!

pete48 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share #40 Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks Jay, I generally like to let the wood soak 3 hours and then I start bending ( Bent Coamings can be tricky so the longer I let them soak the easier they bend ) Best Regards, Pete Jay 1 1 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...

pete48 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share #57 Posted June 10, 2015 Today, I thought about doing something different, so I decided that I would finish making frames for a Buzzards Bay 14, that I started working on a few weeks ago , I am building this one as if it were a 1:1 build but to 3/4" = 1' - 0" scale. I will be building one in similar fashion in a 1 1/2" = 1' - 0" scale soon and there will be a build log. in the meantime, here is what she looks like with the frames glued into the Keel mtaylor, yvesvidal, BenF89 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...
pete48 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share #58 Posted June 11, 2015 Ok, were rounding the top mark and ready to make the downwind leg to the committee Boat. I started by making the Mast , first cutting the then tapering the Mast. Next I made the spreaders and drilled all the holes in the mast ( to accept the Halyards, Blocks and stays ) I then made the Boom and drilled the holes for the blocks and out haul. I then laid out and drilled the holes for the stays on the deck. And lastly made the tiller ( not glued in yet ) next will be to make the Blocks and Cleats along with the Sails.

dgbot Posted June 12, 2015 Share #59 Posted June 12, 2015 The combo color difference between the hull and the cockpit leaves a distinct impression of style. Doing that kind of prework on the mast is time consuming but best done early. From the beginning you have shown that you have thought this build though did you make an instruction book on building it?
