rafine Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share #92 Posted June 22, 2016 I've now completed planking of the main deck (other than treenailing). The planking is holly strip, with pencil caulking on one side and end of each plank. The pattern follows that shown in AOTS and uses the lines previously drawn on the subdeck for joint positioning. The waterway-margin planks were sanded down, as necessary, to meet the deck planking. I also added the additional section of raised planking at the mainmast and a quarter round waterway piece at the base of the quarterdeck bulkhead. Prior to doing the planking, I had to make and install the two mortar pits, since the planking had to be laid up against them. I used the kit's walnut parts to make the pits, but used boxwood strip to plank the outer housings. The assemblies were finished with multiple coats of Wipe-on Poly and ringbolts were added before installation. I am now going to do the treenailing.

Martin W Posted June 24, 2016 Share #101 Posted June 24, 2016 That contrast between the walnut & holly looks really good. I've pretty much looked away from walnut, since it's so splintery to work with, but now, I'm going to start thinking of how to make such a handsome contrast somewhere on the Fly. Great work Bob.

rafine Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share #103 Posted June 24, 2016 Thanks so much Martin. I' really not very happy about using the walnut, but so many of the kit parts are made from it. While I replaced the planking wood, I didn't want to totally replace all of the kit parts. The walnut is, as you say, a nice contrast.

Red Posted June 27, 2016 Share #114 Posted June 27, 2016 Hi Bob, Had an option, buy a camera or a Jim Byrnes saw. No contest, the saw won hands down, even though postage and tax doubled the price. The saw will increase in value, cameras are obsolete after a couple of months.

rafine Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share #115 Posted June 29, 2016 Treenailing of the main deck planking is now done. As with the hull, this was done by drill and fill, using golden oak filler. After final sanding, a coat of Wipe-on Poly was applied as a sealer. The treenailing followed the beam lines previously laid out, and the pattern shown in AOTS. To break up what what seemed like an endless drilling of holes, I decided to make the fore and main hatches during that process. The coamings were made from walnut strip from the kit. The main hatch planking was done with boxwood strip.Ringbolts still need to be added to the hatch planks. The fore hatch grating was done using cambered boxwood grating material from Syren that I had left over from Cheerful. After putting it off for as long as I could, I'm now starting on the second planking of the lower hull.
