BlockPlane Posted January 13, 2017 Author #31 Posted January 13, 2017 This isn't the best picture, but it shows two pieces of brass wired together to create the non-operational hinges. Making the supports that go under the Thwarts. Tadeusz43, druxey, Mike Y and 12 others 15 Quote Chris
cog Posted January 13, 2017 #32 Posted January 13, 2017 That's some marvelous crisp detail you got there.

BlockPlane Posted January 30, 2017 Author #36 Posted January 30, 2017 Finally finished the gunwales and wash-boards. Once the gunwales and wash-boards were done, I relieved that I forgot all about the transom kness. Cutting them in - in place took a little patience and a slice of pizza. coxswain, Tadeusz43, mtaylor and 12 others 15 Quote Chris

BlockPlane Posted January 30, 2017 Author #39 Posted January 30, 2017 Brian- Thank you very much. Cog- That's a good way to look at it. I'm looking forward to starting the cannons but I think it will wise to take care of the small details first as opposed to waiting until the end. Thank you. Jack12477, Eddie and mtaylor 3 Quote Chris
cog Posted January 30, 2017 #40 Posted January 30, 2017 The way I look at it, Chris, you should do what and while you can reach it easily. At a later stadium you often need to put far more energy, and creativity in the job at hand, to get it done, whilst it would be a jiffy when tackled at the right moment. That and the probable unnecessary damage you may cause ... You can start on the canon, though, just don't mount it if you're not finished with some other jobs on the inside of the hull. I am very much looking forward to your updates. A wonderful build! Cheers Jack12477, mtaylor, BlockPlane and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

BlockPlane Posted February 7, 2017 Author #41 Posted February 7, 2017 After some trial and error, the rudder is complete. Shaping and drilling little brass pieces on a large wood lathe is a little less then ideal but do able with some patients and extra material. I also purchased a few gadgets to help hold those small annoying little parts during soldering. archjofo, captainbob, AnobiumPunctatum and 12 others 15 Quote Chris

BlockPlane Posted February 15, 2017 Author #44 Posted February 15, 2017 Cog, Thank you very much. Regarding a mast and the oars, the plans don't show them. In fact, I have researched this boat in other build logs and don't recall seeing a mast either. Archjofo built an absolutely beautiful rendition of this boat. I will scroll through his build log and see. Eddie, Jack12477 and cog 3 Quote Chris
tkay11 Posted February 15, 2017 #45 Posted February 15, 2017 Ancre publishes the rigging and sail plan for €18. It's written in French, but I don't think that's an issue with understanding the plans. You can find it at http://gerard.delacroix.pagesperso-orange.fr/Chaloupe_greement/plaquette.htm. The plans were being given away free with the Rochefort monograph for a while, but I think that has now stopped.

BlockPlane Posted February 24, 2017 Author #49 Posted February 24, 2017 Work continues, slowly. As the end of the build draws near I decided to get the case out of the way. I originally planned on making the case out of Plexy Glass but decided glass was a better fit. It took a fair amount of trial and error to get to a point where I was comfortable. The process of wrapping the glass with copper tape, burnishing and applying the solder was tedious. Im happy with the end result and feel it adds a more classical feel to the model. cog, bdgiantman2, tkay11 and 9 others 12 Quote Chris
BlockPlane Posted March 2, 2017 Author #50 Posted March 2, 2017 I ended up turning the cannon from a piece of ebony and finished it with a coat of metallic dye (Transtint). I think it adds a nice depth of color and perhaps tricks the eye into thinking it's brass. CaptainSteve, mtaylor, G.L. and 10 others 13 Quote Chris

BlockPlane Posted March 25, 2017 Author #54 Posted March 25, 2017 The main canon is in place and fully rigged. I also built the cradle that the boat will sit in. I initially did some reach to find an image of a period correct cradle, but in the end, I just designed my own. Yesterday, i turned the four small 1lb. canons. They came out ok. Turning pieces that small on a full size lathe and getting all the canons to look identical is a challenge. Practice makes perfect. Chris Eddie, Erik W, aviaamator and 15 others 18 Quote Chris

BlockPlane Posted March 25, 2017 Author #57 Posted March 25, 2017 Thank you Carl, Still working on the small canons. I'm not 100% happy with how they compare to one another. I will probably end up making a few more. I'm planning on adding oars and a few canon accessories. I will say that the finishing touches are hard when your mind starts wandering towards the next build. Chris cog, Eddie and mtaylor 3 Quote Chris
