Mau Posted January 21, 2019 #181 Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Mike, I'm a little late, just now I've been able to see all of your log. Great job! Congratulations!! I have a question: How did you calculate the amount of wood needed? Is there a simple rule or do you calculate by the plans? Like 3 boards of 3", 4 boards of 6", etc.? Greetings Mauricio Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
Stuntflyer Posted January 21, 2019 Author #182 Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks, Mauricio! Most of the wood used on my build went into making the frames. To calculate the amount of wood needed, I first had to cut out all of the paper patterns corresponding to each frame. The patterns were then grouped together according to the thickness of wood needed for those patterns. Once that was done I was able to layout the patterns, paying close attention to the run of the grain, on several sheets of paper. The sheets of paper were the same size as the sheet wood I would be ordering. I figured in a waste factor of 50% for re-do's.

sfotinos Posted May 16, 2019 #186 Posted May 16, 2019 Mike, Wonder if you could help me a bit. I've started on this neat little ship and have the backbone completed. The question I'm looking for an answer to is where did you get your measurements for things like the stepping line? I'm not finding this on the plans? Are you just making assumptions? Or am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Shawn Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
Stuntflyer Posted May 16, 2019 Author #187 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Shawn, Look again on plan sheet #1. Looks like this. .

sfotinos Posted May 17, 2019 #188 Posted May 17, 2019 Maybe I didn't explain what I'm looking for very clearly, sorry. What I'm looking for is how much to take off to create the stepping line. In your post you mention you used your mill to create this stepping line, but how much did you mill down to create it? Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
Griphos Posted May 17, 2019 #189 Posted May 17, 2019 Judging from this image, it looks like 1/32". Canute, Stuntflyer, garyshipwright and 3 others 6 Quote
Stuntflyer Posted May 17, 2019 Author #190 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) That's correct, Griphos. The deadwood is reduced from 15" to 12" at stepping line. That would be 1.5" or 1/32" "actual" removed from each side.
