newbuilder101 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share #394 Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) It seems that this summer has been more busy than usual, which means the shipyard has been fairly quiet. Thought I'd include a couple of pictures of our garden bounty. The cherry tomato plants, that I'm standing behind, went a little crazy this year. I'm 5'7" and they are a couple of feet above my head! I have a small update as well: The upper portion of the second planking is complete. I've made and installed the support beams and columns for the fore deck, and the second planking is done on the lower section of the stern - not sure of the name of this part - it's the thick section below the lower gallery. I salvaged a beautiful block of cherry wood from the wood pile and have been drying it now for a couple of months. I'm thinking of using it for the deck furniture etc.......but first, the rest of the planking.

Shazmira Posted August 14, 2013 Share #395 Posted August 14, 2013 Very nice Sherry! The planking is looking great, nice and even. The garden bounty looks awesome as well. I spent a couple hours picking in mine Monday after being away for a week, don't know how we are going to eat it all lol. First cantaloupes should be ready at the end of the week, I can't wait to try them! Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

newbuilder101 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share #407 Posted August 26, 2013 The second planking is tedious and time consuming and seems to be moving at a snails pace, which I blame on spiling of the bow planks! For a change of pace, I decided to make the display base. I found these little gems, by accident, at the local hardware store. A little cutting sanding and slotting transformed them into pedestals and saved me setting up the lathe! Before and after. My next door neighbor, and cousin, is a cabinet maker. A little scrounging in his "scrap" bin revealed a lovely piece of ash. He discarded it because it had a slight bow and he would lose the needed thickness if planed. Since I didn't need a "standard" or set thickness, it was off the jointer and then the planer to remove the offending curve. (He was kind enough to perform those steps for me) After cutting it to the desired dimensions, (6"x14") I dusted off the router and gave it a Roman Ogee profile - without the top step. This is the end result, but nothing is fixed permanently at this stage. That's it for now...back to planking.... realworkingsailor, DORIS, Adrieke and 11 others 14 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

Kronprinz Posted August 27, 2013 Share #417 Posted August 27, 2013 Hy Sherry, beautyful built - but please! Please don't risk anything by using only this stand on two columes only - here you can see some mitship additional stands - to secure the work done. Also the small Sloop Queensborough from 1718 or the tremendous 120 gun ship HMS Queen of 1839 - much closer in her dimensions to your San Filipe... A breaking out keel would be a pitty, wouldn't it?

newbuilder101 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share #418 Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks Christian for the word of caution. I don't want a snapped keel either. I have already drilled through the false keel into the more stable inner wood. The pedestals will be drilled as well and long steel pins (or tiny threaded rod) will be fixed in both so the false keel won't be vulnerable to separation.

michael mott Posted August 28, 2013 Share #419 Posted August 28, 2013 The diversions are a GREAT distraction! Sherry, You know I do not see these as distractions. You are simply juggling the order of tasks that need doing according to your current disposition and this changes on a regular basis. Mostly the order of things can be juggled a little here and a little there. The stand is nice and a great way to see the way it will present when finished.
