pete48 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share #91 Posted February 1, 2016 Today, after applying varnish to the Buzzards Bay 14, I concentrated on getting the rear deck beams installed and apply teak to the rear cockpit bulkhead. I started by laying out the access hole in the Bulkhead and then applied teak strips. While that was drying, I laid out the supports for the rear deck beams and installed them. I then installed the beams. I then trimmed the teak off the bulkhead and sanded it to 320 grit sandpaper. the bulkheads and center board box are dry fit.

pete48 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share #98 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Today, With a high temperature of 28, ( about 0 C) and an impending snow storm, I decided I would get all the floor timbers installed. I started with Installing the Forward bulkhead, I then installed the Centerboard box, Once the centerboard box was installed, I used a template that I made to lay out the Floor timber lengths, I then measured and cut and installed all the Floor beams. I then turned my attention to making and installing the 2 blocks at the front bulkhead, Everything to this point has been glued with Titebond 3. Next will be to install the rear cockpit bulkhead and seal up the bilge.

pete48 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share #107 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Today, I decided that it would be better to get the Deck on, rather than finishing up the Cockpit. This way the Keel can be installed. I started by fairing the deck beams to the correct camber. I then cut out and installed the Deck. I then faired in the Deck with the Hull to 180 grit sandpaper. The boat will now be rigid enough to turn her upside down and install the Keel and Deadwood.

pete48 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share #112 Posted March 15, 2016 Well, I procrastinated long enough, I knew that installing the Keel would be difficult, and it lived up to the billing. I started by lining up the Keel on the overturned hull, and marking the Hull as per plan. I used West System G-flex epoxy with 406 filler.( That went smoothly ) The tricky Part was Installing the Deadwood. ( this took a few attempts and burned thru a bunch of wood ) Once the Deadwood was set, I epoxied them in and filled the seams. I will let her stand for a day or 2 and fair the Keel.

jdbondy Posted April 1, 2016 Share #118 Posted April 1, 2016 Great build log! Since I just started following it, I have a question about an early entry. When you installed the floor timbers prior to beveling the frames to accept the keel (January 12th entry), how did you securely attach them to the ribs without the floor timbers becoming stuck to the molds? Were the molds masked with tape? It seems to me that there wouldn't be much available gluing surface between the edges of the ribs and the floor timbers. pete48, mtaylor, Omega1234 and 1 other 4 Quote JD Current build: Schooner Mary Day (scratch) Previous builds: Model Shipways Pride of Baltimore 2, Amati HMS Endeavour, Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack, Bluejacket America, Midwest Sharpie Schooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete48 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share #119 Posted April 1, 2016 Hi jdbondy, The Molds were beveled prior to the ribs being bent over them, It was tricky, the floor timbers were glued to the Keel, and outer edge of the Ribs ( Titebond 3 ) with a paint brush very thin to hold it in place, I went very slow and made sure not to get any glue on the molds, it worked out very well, When I started planking the glue was also applied to the floor timbers Best Regards, Pete Omega1234, Elijah and mtaylor 3 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
