Holding bulkheads while drying


Recommended Posts

Isn't there a jig to help with the installation of bulkheads?

Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

 

 

In Dry Dock:

Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack. 1:24 scale. Model Shipways, 3rd in the learning series.

Not sure what'll be next, probably the Santa Maria by Artesania Latina 1:65 scale. Unless someone has a better suggestion for a beginner.

Pride of Baltimore. Model Shipways. Clipper used in the war of 1812.

Black Falcon. Mantua Model. 18 century corsair brig.

CSS. Alabama. E. Manolie? Can't read the font. Build in Liverpool in 1862 for use in the American Civil War by the Confederates. Steam and sail, sloop of war.

 

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Why should you nee one? After carefully fitting and checking, glueing should be possible without too much problems.

I have seen people using jigs (with various results), but more often people clamp something square (such as a bunch of lego-blocks)  between bulkhead and keel. something like this one (I borrowed this from the internet)

(notice the building board to keep the keel strainght.)

I'm familiar. I had one. That's why I'm looking some more. It's not the highest quality.
