James G Posted November 9, 2022 Share #756 Posted November 9, 2022 Kevin, those look awesome! Looks to me like your skills are growing quickly. Very helpful video too. Finally, I wanted to thank you for recommending the Sampson Boat Company YouTube channel. Leo is amazing and one learns a ton about ship construction watching his progress with Tally Ho.

dvm27 Posted November 10, 2022 Share #757 Posted November 10, 2022 Nice job Kevin. I've not seen silver soldering done where the solder was sweated on one piece first (like tinning in soft soldering). Also, that large metal nut you are using to secure one piece acts as a heat sink drawing heat away from the joint. That's why those ceramic pins you ordered work so well. I would start by making brass rings. The more you make the better the joints will be as you refine your technique. I agree with you that you can't accurately hang the pintle straps until the gudgeon straps are in place. I would hang the top and bottom pintles first then fill in the middle three. druxey, tlevine and mtaylor 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 November 10, 2022 Author Share #758 Posted November 10, 2022 Hi Greg sweating solder joints seems to be a very common way jewlers add parts when building up a piece. Unfortunately i don't get the pins until December when my daughter comes to visit. By then i should be much better. I was able to epoxy the top gudgeon in place and it should stay firmly in place. Just completed the new rudder and the table joint came out fantastic. I used a perminant Sharpie to darken the joint and there was no running. mtaylor, KentM and druxey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
