yamsterman Posted August 26, 2015 Author #36 Posted August 26, 2015 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!!!!

yamsterman Posted August 27, 2015 Author #45 Posted August 27, 2015 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.

yamsterman Posted August 27, 2015 Author #46 Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Carl Confession time!!!!! I wasn't happy with the fit of the lower part of the stem too the keel......so out came the isopropanol!!!!! New part made and fitted....now it fits properly to the keel! First redo and probably not the last! Cheers....mick Canute, Saburo, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote

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.

yamsterman Posted September 4, 2015 Author #56 Posted September 4, 2015 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.
