druxey Posted March 21, 2022 #572 Posted March 21, 2022 Coming along well, Kevin. Hint: always rest a plane on its side. Sole down on the bench as in your photo leads to dulling the blade faster with grit and debris on the bench top. allanyed and mtaylor 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 March 28, 2022 Author #579 Posted March 28, 2022 The answer is yes. It just takes 30 minutes far have resisted. mtaylor 1 Quote
Kevin Kenny Posted March 28, 2022 Author #580 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) My iPad is giving trouble this morning. The answer is yes. The only thing is the time it takes the PVA to dry. I thought of using CA with the PVA to speed things up but so far have resisted. . Edited March 28, 2022 by Kevin Kenny Spelling AON and mtaylor 2 Quote

dvm27 Posted April 3, 2022 #584 Posted April 3, 2022 Cumulative error is always an issue Kevin. A glued joint does add perhaps 1/2" to the thickness vs two dry fitted pieces so perhaps deduct 1/2" per plank in the next run and seem if that lands you closer to your marks. Some builders also add a slight bevel to the inboard edge of the plank for a snugger fit but you have to be careful you don't expose gaps when final fairing. BTW nice fix on that bow anchor stock plank. mtaylor, druxey and KentM 3 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
Kevin Kenny Posted April 4, 2022 Author #585 Posted April 4, 2022 I have been using a slight bevel to get a nice tight fit in some cases. In one case it resulted in my having to remake the piece 4 times. I do try to get the fit correct before using the bevel. druxey, KentM and mtaylor 3 Quote
Kevin Kenny Posted April 4, 2022 Author #586 Posted April 4, 2022 On another note Greg there seems to be some question on the use of bronze sheaves or wooden ones. The book seems to indicate that in some cases bronze was used.? mtaylor, Dave_E and KentM 3 Quote
