Long9Ron Posted September 12, 2013 #335 Posted September 12, 2013 Paddy I like the top photo better. Natural look. Ron Current Build: H.M.S. Triton Cross Section 1:48 Why is it that I always find out the best way to do something is after I have already done it the wrong way? - Me
Paddy Posted September 12, 2013 Author #336 Posted September 12, 2013 Ron, Thanks for that. That's the way I'll leave the walnut for the wales with the exception I'm going to do the wales in Top and Butt strakes. The Rip Angle jig arrived this afternoon, so I ripped some basswood to the scale top dimension for some Top and Butt plank practice and checking my angles. I drew up my scale plan using the dimensions in Peter Goodwin’s tome “Sailing Man of War 1650 ~ 1850” found on page 52. Love the jig but what’s not to love about a Model Machines product. Fun!

Trussben Posted November 12, 2013 #342 Posted November 12, 2013 Well done using the rip taper jig, I intend to try that out on my next scratch build, any issues you can tell me about doing it? Tips? Ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea. Completed builds: ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat.QA Barge. Medway Longboat.
Paddy Posted November 24, 2013 Author #343 Posted November 24, 2013 Hi Ben, It's very straight forward to use. Just make sure the width of your rip is wide enough to clear the aft end of the jig with the saw blade and watch those fingers. 1st Year Apprentice :mellow: A new member of the NRG as of 8/28/13 Work in Progress - Triton 28 Gun Frigate Cross Section
