Tigersteve Posted December 30, 2017 Author #95 Posted December 30, 2017 Thought I'd take a small break from painting to dry-fit all parts again. While there are several more coats that need to be applied, I believe it's getting closer to an acceptable finish. In this dry-fit I am looking at the thwarts and questioning if they butt up against the frames enough. I feel I may need to redo these so they butt up against the frames more. Any thoughts fellow Pinnace builders? Will this be a problem during inboard planking?

MEDDO Posted December 30, 2017 #96 Posted December 30, 2017 Looks great. I think they would only be a problem if the gap is larger than the width of the inner planking.

Tigersteve Posted January 2, 2018 Author #100 Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks everyone! I will remake some of the thwarts. Mike is correct. They should butt up against the frames.

Tigersteve Posted January 5, 2018 Author #101 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) The thwarts were recut and scrap wood was used to keep the proper spacing according to the plans. The grooves were made with a hand razor saw and miter box. After all thwarts were cut and placed, I used a scrap piece of the same width to mark the center lines for the longboard. The notches were filed last. Here's a photo after two coats of Wipe-on-Poly. I plan to glue all this together prior to installation.

Tigersteve Posted January 6, 2018 Author #102 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Luckily I did another dry-fit before any gluing. Turns out there was an error in marking the longboard location on the thwarts. Either that or I misfiled the notches. I should be able to redo two of the four thwarts and be more on point. This particular modification with the longboard is tricky. A slight error becomes very obvious. This revision will take a while. I will post after all is installed.

Tigersteve Posted January 20, 2018 Author #103 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Instead of notching the thwarts to accept sections of the longboard, I decided to notch one long strip where the thwarts would be inserted. This resulted in a straight board. Something I was not able to achieve in earlier attempts. The board was clamped from underneath and marked before filing the notches. The thwarts were also notched to create a flush joining of the pieces. Lots of dry clamping before the final installation. I'm happy with the results and decided not to include the grooves for the sake of a crisp finish. I will have to remake the forward platform without the grooves.

Tigersteve Posted February 4, 2018 Author #110 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) The inboard planking will be completed in sections due to the multiple curves required from bow to stern. I planked the cockpit section with pre-painted 1/16” and 1/8” strips. These will be filled and repainted when the rest of the planking is complete to hide any seams. I am using basswood for this part of the planking.

Tigersteve Posted February 4, 2018 Author #112 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) That is a good question. I thought that the basswood was much more flexible and easier to bend and it will be painted anyway. (I had forgotten just how much after working with the maple.) I will use mostly 1/8” x 1/32” for the remaining inboard planking.

Tigersteve Posted February 21, 2018 Author #116 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) The inboard planking at the bow was completed by cutting pieces to shape. The curves needed were too extreme to edgebend. My paint job went to hell during the sanding of the cap rail. It is necessary to get the rail as thin as possible to avoid looking bulky. The overlap of the rail outboard is 1/32”. My original plan was to leave the cap rail natural, but it looks unfinished without paint now that I see it installed. It will take some time to paint so here are some photos in the meantime.
