rshousha Posted November 7, 2019 Share #639 Posted November 7, 2019 How many people built one of those ships? I can feel their tiny, little, ghosts moving around hammering, sawing, hammering, carrying, sawing, hammering. In the freezing breeze blasting off the St. Lawrence. They were tough people.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share #640 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Hi Rick, As a matter of fact, René Nicolas Levasseur built 74 guns ship on the ST_Laurence in Quebec city in 1750. Unfortunately, no plans survived from this time. The best documents there is, are the lines of the frigate l'Abénakise when the English captured her.

rshousha Posted November 8, 2019 Share #641 Posted November 8, 2019 Hi Gaetan, Yes, I had seen that in the wonderful book "On Chantait Charley-Man". I also have some good friends at the Davie Shipyard and it is quite something to stand there, looking out into the St-Laurent on a bright October morning, imagining the construction. Even today, the fellows welding those great big ship sections, twenty feet in the air, in a force 4 or 5 breeze, are pretty tough, big, men. mtaylor, JohnLea, FriedClams and 2 others 5 Quote Rick Shousha Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share #644 Posted November 25, 2019 First series of 3 series of notches is done and the marking of the second series is completed. Jigs and repetitiveness go together. They are very useful for markings and it is faster to use.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share #645 Posted November 26, 2019 The next tool? Here is what I discovered today: GRS makes interesting tools. Here is a very interesting one. A 3D vise. Usually a vise is only adjustable in 1 direction but this one is adjustable in all directions. This would be the ideal vise for carving a figure head.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share #658 Posted January 21, 2020 I just finished a major upgrade of speakers and settings. The last step is to choose a music provider Spotify or Tidal. Few other sets of notches are done on the deck beams, it is much easier while the deck beams are not glued yet. My helper was very happy to be photographed. mtaylor, druxey, Mike Y and 26 others 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share #659 Posted January 23, 2020 Sometimes it is difficult to make a part. This one, I did it 3 times. The first, I did not see the front view, so I mist an important detail. The second time, I did not use the scroll saw but the table saw, to achieve greater precision but more difficult to position the part. I took the measures between the blade and the fence but it did not work well. Third try, still on table saw, but this time, measures were taken the other side of the blade. It was easier to achieve better precision this way, probably because a better vision of the part to cut. Sometime, it is difficult to make a part and sometime it is difficult to find a good way to do it Jorge Diaz O, Edwardkenway, Mike Y and 29 others 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
