Beautiful beginning Mick. Definitely pulling up a ringside seat for this build. I can see already, this will be another great clinic for those of us continuously looking to learn new techniques.

Hi Carl

The jig thingy is called a sled or sledge. It runs on the two parallel mitre slots and is made to be square to the saw cut. Just a piece of mdf and some beech hardwood. You can attach stops to the uprights to enable multiple same length cutoffs,I used the edge of the slot for the saw blade to line up the previously marked patterns on the aft deadwood to cut the rebates....all nice and sqaure and to a consistent depth. Similar sleds are used on full sized table saws in carpentry and furniture making. There's one or two nice examples floating about on MSW.

Also keeps those digits away from the blade!!!!

Cheers ....mick

I'm quietly following along, Mick.  I too think I'll learn a thing or two. :)

Hi all

Thanks for stopping by mark and Ken. I'm not sure about learning anything from me!.......I may well be plundering your collective knowledge at some point especially when we get to the fiddly stuff!

Cheers.....mick

That's what it's all about.

 

I see you cut the slots for the frames in the keel, but I didn't see that mentioned.  Did you cut them the same way as the slots in the deadwood?

Makes us learn too, mate!!! Mistakes, challenges, redos, advice, etc ... it's all a part of the learning curve

Hi Chuck

Rebates on the fore and aft deadwood were cut with the Byrne's saw set to1/32 nd inch.once the two outside edges were established the waste was carefully "nibbled" away with successive saw cuts......it leaves a nice flat bottomed rebate of consistent depth any saw marks were removedwith a small fine file.

The rebates for the keel were covered in part one...I decided to make the rebates component(hog,rising wood?) As a seperate piece with the aid of a small jig for my mini milling machine.

Cheers.....mick

Well done Mick!!! If you hadn't it would have bitten you in the hiney, and irritated you all along the rest of the build ... Curious to the pre and post looks of the redo though ... you've got me all excited!!!

 

Cheers

Thanks Mick.  I noticed the earlier post, but for some reason thought you had abandoned it for the Saw method.  I have used the saw method before with success.  I even 'milled' my PHILADELPHIA gun carriages using it.

 

I look forward to your work on the frames.

Mick,

 

If you tackle the transomes like you did the 'spine', you'll end up with a lovely 'bum' to look at ... cannot wait to see the result ...

 

Cheers mate

I'm not really sure I'd like to look at Mick's 'lovely bum', but one thing's for certain, that's some beautiful work! Mick - you never cease to amaze me with the quality and precision of your work.

 

Nice stuff and keep it up!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Mick,

    What did you use to bolt your keel pieces together?  Is that copper?

Hi Carl

Transmission are awkward little blighters.....maybe more than one remake! I did try and find the lower part of the stem that I'd previously rejected due too poor fit....but its been confined to the scrapbox in fact Jones locker in a fit of angst!

Thinking of changing my moniker to Mick " lovely bum" yamsterman........not so sure the thumbnail would be appropriate for this site !!!!

Cheers....mick

Hi Patrick

I echo that sentiment!!!!!far more aesthetically pleasing sights!!!

Looking at the photos you can see a "score " line where the rabbet is....over exuberant use of a cutting gauge!!! This will be hidden I hope when I fit the garboard strake. Other than the garboard and one plank forward and aft I shall stick to the practicum pretty much.

Thanks for the appreciation Patrick....as ever I'm still in awe of your miniature marvels.

Cheers....mick

Mick,

 

You could use the stern after it is finished for the 'lovely bum' thumbnail ... Besides, it sounds better than Mick " moon face" yamsterman ... Davy Jones' locker will fill up rather quickly this way, mate ... I wonder whether DJ knows his way around a tablet ... he'll go digital ... whatch out RN

 

Cheers

HI Mick,

 

It is really fun to watch your Galley come together.  Looks like even more fun to build! Great work.
