michael mott Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share #61 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Build part 15 The sheer strake plank was too long to fit into the oven in a comfortable way so I made up a small kitchen top steam box to fit on top of a small saucepan. A 3/4 inch disc of white pine that fit loosely onto the top of the pan and a box with an inside space that is 1 3/4 inches wide by 1 inch high and 30 inches long with 3 3/32 brass pins to elevate the plank off the floor of the chamber. I also angled it to rise about an inch over the 30 inches While it was steaming I placed a tea-cloth over the slot opening at the high end and steamed for ten minutes. next and this was the part I liked best I just lifted it off the pan and carried it to the model maintaining the heat inside the box. Then opened the lit which just drops on and clamped the sheer-stake onto the model to dry. This is going to be a handy addition.

michael mott Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share #65 Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for the positive feedback. build part 16 The progress continues with the bending of the planks working up now from the sheer strake I am finding that about 20 minutes in the steamer then clamping up the plank till the following day seems to be working well, there is a little spring back when the clamps are removed for the final tweaking of the plank before gluing The picture shows the first plank glued to the sheer strake on the starboard and the opposite sister drying up prior to gluing. The next one is of the second plank on the starboard drying I just took it out of the steam box. This shot is now clearly showing the hull taking form.

michael mott Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share #68 Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for all the kind comments and likes. build part 17 The planks are getting rather curved now near the mid point of the bilges, and I keep wishing I had made them just a little thinner. I did cut a bunch that were thinner to begin with but picked up the thicker pile when I originally brought them into the house. I did not realize it until I had glued a couple on. Proceeding on after shaping the next plank I made a copy for the opposite side and I am cutting them out with the trusty #11 taking little scallop type cuts to the line, the grain differential hardness means that it is not easy to cut cleanly in one long cut, so after rough cutting the large waste off leaving some for fine cutting. I use the block plane to finish the convex edge which mates to the previous plank and a sanding stick for the concave edge which winds up being the top new edge. After matching them I popped one in the steam box. and then after 25 minutes it laid on the frames nicely. It is looking more like a hull now.

Jond Posted January 18, 2016 Share #69 Posted January 18, 2016 Michael I am amazed as i read this log. The solution of steaming has given me courage to think about possibly trying something similar. I need to figure out how to use wider and thinner planks on my hulls so i can consider letting the planking show through on the outside. Currently I sand the hull smooth and avoid the issue. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to watching and learning some more jon mtaylor, Jack12477, michael mott and 2 others 5 Quote current build Elizabeth Howard Beam Trawler Harvard 1926; Lightships of Boothbay.

michael mott Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #72 Posted January 20, 2016 Jon, Pete and Patrick, thanks for your kind comments. and thanks to all who added a visit and pushed the like button. Build part 18 Evened up the gluing to get a better idea of her shape. This planking is quite the learning curve. When I first started the planking on the pilot cutter I had no Idea it would lead to this. I am beginning to feel confident enough now that I will be able to tackle the planking on skipjack with her canoe stern in the spring when I can spend more time in the shop. Four more planks to go on each side now. I am staring to think about the lead ballast for the keel, I will shape a block of wood then make a plaster mould. I will need to use the tiger torch to melt enough lead to do it in one pour.

michael mott Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #73 Posted January 20, 2016 Before going any further I though it might be wise to see how easily the model would come off the building board while I still had access to the ribs on the building formers, a couple of spots were tacked but they came un-tacked with a little coaxing.

Mirabell61 Posted January 20, 2016 Share #74 Posted January 20, 2016 amazing and beautiful lightweight hull Michael, its great to see how fine the thin frames came off the supporting build frames in excellent condition and shape as you planed it to be. How did you lead the steam into your "steambox", it worked out very well. One more question : as you are intending to let her into the water later, did you glue the planks edge to edge as well ?

michael mott Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #77 Posted January 20, 2016 Good morning Nils, the steam into the box is very simple a hole in the lid that fits on top of the saucepan is all there is. The steam is slowed down from escaping by the tea towel over the end where the slot is for the steam to escape I have edge glued all the planks. I have never used any of the epoxy coatings, I will need to look into that. I know that Pete uses the West Epoxy System product. I am not sure about leaving the planks clear or whether to paint the hull, If I paint it then a coat if glass might be a good thing. I,m thinking about it. Thanks Pete, I am going to get some plaster the next time I am in the city. Now that looks absolutely stunning I am glad you think so Deon.

captainbob Posted January 20, 2016 Share #79 Posted January 20, 2016 Finish on the hull depends on usage. If it is in the water as a one time thing then any good poly or paint will do but if you plan to sail her many times then use epoxy. No mater how well it is sealed the wood will swell and shrink with getting wet and drying. On one of my boats I used epoxy inside and out without the glass and after a couple years of use I can see light between the planks.

captainbob Posted January 21, 2016 Share #81 Posted January 21, 2016 If the epoxy is worked well into and through the glass cloth the glass will disappear and it becomes like a heavy varnish but it takes some practice to get rid of the air trapped between the fibers of the glass. Thinning the epoxy with alcohol will help. Use a very light weight cloth like 1/2 ounce. You don't need a lot of strength for a model. Women's nylon hose is strong enough.
