druxey Posted March 21, 2022 Share #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. mtaylor and allanyed 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kenny Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share #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. .

dvm27 Posted April 3, 2022 Share #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, KentM and druxey 3 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share #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.? Dave_E, mtaylor and KentM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
