cog Posted May 28, 2016 Share #33 Posted May 28, 2016 Looks good, any reason for using aluminum, not brass? Elijah 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kees Meijer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share #34 Posted May 28, 2016 Looks good, any reason for using aluminum, not brass? No not really, I just used what is available. At work I have only brass from 0, 5 mm thick. cog, cobra1951 and Elijah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymo Posted June 15, 2016 Share #36 Posted June 15, 2016 Howdy, Kees. How much of the deck planking materials did you have left over after finishing all the decks? And I guess the same question applies to the hull planks. Reason I ask is, due to me never having done this before, I would like to test out some techniques, practicing I guess. But I don't want to run out of material.I'm thinking of sending Occre and email and purchasing some extras, or perhaps from some other supplier. What ever is cheapest and fastest delivery.

ca.shipwright Posted June 15, 2016 Share #37 Posted June 15, 2016 There is probably less than 5% on the various strips. The color variation between lots makes it difficult to substitute if you are using a natural finish. Not an issue with painting. The dowels for the masts, and yards allow for no mistakes. Measure 3 times cut once is the old wood workers adage. Regards maggsl_01 and Elijah 2 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

Mikeymo Posted June 15, 2016 Share #38 Posted June 15, 2016 That's what I suspected, not enough to play with. And absolutely measure three times...this is why I'm taking so long to get this happening. I want to ensure I know what I am doing, and do it right.I've only got my keel and bulkheads glued together at this point. Before I start my decking, I want to do a bit more reading, watching and testing first. Elijah and dashi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca.shipwright Posted June 16, 2016 Share #39 Posted June 16, 2016 Another tip. Get a small box and save the pieces of cutoff that you have from cutting down the stock. You can always piece together strips if you run short. dashi, WackoWolf and Elijah 3 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

Kees Meijer Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share #40 Posted June 21, 2016 So a little update. Since I don't have much time, and little concentration (I suffer from PTSD). I have put everything aside. But I do have some small things that I made. Captain Slog, cristikc, cog and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
