help with Mayflower and rabbet strip tapering.


Recommended Posts

hello I am building the  Mayflower by model shipways.  I was wondering if you sand the whole rabbet down to 3/32 or just the part of the rabbet and bearding near the stern?  the building instructions are in the link bellow. The part about the rabbet is on page one. Any help and I will be really thank full!

Hello 1213brett, did you ever get an answer to this? The reason I am asking is that I have just posted the same question over at the ShipsOfScale forums. So far there have been a couple of responses but I am not convinced either way and I came across your post and want to see if someone helped you or if you figured it out since you posted this.

 

Thanks,
Dan

maybe this helps,

 

If you search for "Mayflower" 

Then you will find interesting building logs of the mayflower. Not from the same manufacturer but they can perhaps give the solution to your question (see example)

Thank you very much Patrick. I thought I searched the NRG forum but I don't recall seeing this. Even though it doesn't look it is from the same manufacturer this helps a lot.

 

Dan

Go on the Model Shipways site and find the SYREN. Open it up and the open instructions, Chapter 1. This shows the absolute easiest way to make a rabbet.  Simply put, sand a little bevel and then glue on a wood strip. Eliminates much of the knife work.
