DocBlake Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share #152 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I completed the quarterdeck and cabin planking. I've yet to place the treenails, though. I completed bulkhead 5 and the picture shows me in the process of fitting it in place. Lots of contour sanding to get the side edges of the bulkhead flush against the bulwark planking as well as in the right place on the deck. No poly on the bulkhead yet, and the doorknobs have to be added. Next I'll install the margin plank on the main deck and begin main deck planking.

DocBlake Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share #155 Posted March 10, 2016 I finished the decking and treenailing. I also fitted the bowsprit bit and the sprit itself. No poly on the sprit, inboard bulwarks or deck. The sprit needs some stop chocks for the forestay and the footrope stirrups. I still need to frame the great cabin roof, install the rails and build the binnacle, great cabin lights, elmtree pumps, and windlass.

DocBlake Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share #159 Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks, Guys! I decided to build the elm tree pumps out of boxwood. A milled the wood to an octagon shape and cut the pumps to length. The supports and spouts were glued on and the handles were installed. Last came the metal work. I drilled out the tops of the pump body and painted the insides black to simulate hollowed out logs. Same with the spigots. I toyed with the idea of adding black reinforcing bands to the pump bodies, but maybe "less is more" and the pumps look cleaner without the bands. What do you all think?

JPZ66 Posted March 12, 2016 Share #163 Posted March 12, 2016 I vote for bands as well, but maybe you can use a 'gun metal' shade instead of black ?

David Lester Posted March 12, 2016 Share #164 Posted March 12, 2016 Your workmanship is flawless! The pumps look pretty nice as they are, but I don't think black bands would be out of place at all.

DocBlake Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share #165 Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for the kind words and the "likes". I think the bands might be necessary. I don't think they were used to attach the support for the pump handle to the pump body: that was probably just bolted on. I think the reinforcing bands were there to prevent the top of the hollowed out log that forms the pump body from splitting along it's length (with the grain). Using elm, with it's interlocking grain, helps prevent this, but the constant racking stress from the pumping action at the top of the log would definitely lead to splits in the log without reinforcement. If the log were circular I'd use brass, but since it's octagonal, it'll have to be card stock. mrshanks, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

DocBlake Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #175 Posted April 2, 2016 I'm starting to prepare the great cabin for framing. The roof deck clamps are in place and the aft-most roof beam has been glued to the transom framing. the problem is that the framing is too long and sticks up above the beam. I used my new Hishika saw to easily saw through the maple frames and remove them. I now need to fit each beam so that the roof (poop deck) sits flush on each and flows smoothly from the bulkhead of the great cabin to the stern. The first photo shows two frames cut, and the others too long. The second shows the Hishika saw cutting the framing, and the third is the final result. mtaylor, GrantGoodale, Geoff Matson and 4 others 7 Quote Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

DocBlake Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #180 Posted April 2, 2016 Because I totally rebuilt the transom in the kit, using a plywood base, planked with pear and overlayed with a boxwood trim, the upper edge of the transom is not particularly attractive. The kit doesn't provide a taff rail because the stock transom is solid cherry hardwood with no plywood involved. I decided to add a taff rail made of boxwood. I soaked the wood then bent it around a template of the top of the transom. Nails hold it in place. I'll let it dry for 48 hours, then dye it black with Fiebring"s black leather dye. It will be glued in place after the great cabin cap rails are fitted. dgbot, Cap'n Rat Fink, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!
