druxey Posted February 26, 2019 #123 Posted February 26, 2019 Nice save on that first piece, Kevin! However, if you had used PVA, rubbing alcohol would have made removal of the part easy. Was there a particular reason you decided to use epoxy? mtaylor and KentM 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Kevin Kenny Posted February 26, 2019 Author #124 Posted February 26, 2019 I just like epoxy for major strength pieces. I am a big boat builder and cant get epoxy out of my system. I could have cut it out but the truth is i was able to solve the problem. druxey, michael mott, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote

dvm27 Posted March 12, 2019 #131 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Great video, Kevin. Two suggestions to improve my version. Replace those bolts with threaded knurled thumb screws and place brass washers where the bolts enter the jig as the constant tightening and loosening of the screws can deform the wood. It'll speed up the process considerably.

Kevin Kenny Posted March 12, 2019 Author #132 Posted March 12, 2019 Great idea about the knurled screws but they will be almost impossible to find here in Trinidad. I do have washers on the screws. The wood is an extreamly hard wood which i threaded then put CA so it should last a while. I am in New York next month and will try to find the screws. mtaylor, KentM and Seahawk1313 3 Quote
Seahawk1313 Posted March 13, 2019 #133 Posted March 13, 2019 I love your videos, I have been building early U S naval ships off and on for almost 50 years, but I always find something of interest in your work. I have a question, in one of your videos you were making thin dowels. The tool you were using, did you make it or did you buy it somewhere? You are doing an excellent job on your ship. I greatly enjoy watching your work. Thank you for posting it. - Hal mtaylor 1 Quote

Kevin Kenny Posted March 26, 2019 Author #141 Posted March 26, 2019 I have decided to reduce the end at the stern on strake 7 to 5” instead of 10.5” so that i end below the top of stern keelson. I have noticed in one of the builds that the end was also reduced to two strakes treated similarly to the front of the stemson. Maybe i should have curved #6 more at the stern end!

dvm27 Posted April 2, 2019 #150 Posted April 2, 2019 Very nice video, Kevin. If you flood the threaded hole to receive the bolt with super glue it hardens it and makes it less likely to be stripped after repeated use.
