flying_dutchman2 Posted November 19, 2018 Author #121 Posted November 19, 2018 Added 4 scuppers on each side in between the first and second wale. Drilled a hole on an angle. Cut off 9mm aluminium tubing, brushed some glue on it and pushed into the hole. The square wooden pieces on the outside are 1mm thick 5mm square dowel. This is the first time I have added these to my build. Never done this before. Marcus cog, mtaylor, Omega1234 and 2 others 5 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 4, 2018 Author #122 Posted December 4, 2018 Spent several hours bending and forming the pintels. Next I got out the soldering iron and soldered 1mm diameter brass wire as pins and filed excess solder from the pintels. On another note, I am thinking of making my own blocks and deadeyes. I have many articles on how to make blocks but nothing on how to make deadeyes. Are there any articles on MSW about this? Or is there something on the Net about it? By making my own, I want to see if the finished product lookes like the material you buy from an online store. If after the exercise I failed I'll just continue to buy online. Totally different question. Some of the plans from the 17th century Dutch merchant ships are in scale 1:96. If I want to make them 1:48 do I set my printer at 200%? Twice the size? The Fluit is 1:96 and I find it rather small. Enlarging this I can add more details. Thanks for answering.

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 5, 2018 Author #123 Posted December 5, 2018 Created some of the deck items from walnut. Installed the bits and bollards that line the sides of the boat. The mizen mast holder is from walnut and I had to file the railing a bit so that the piece would sit straight as well as the mast that goes into the holder. Finished the pinntels and will drill tinny holes to fit the brass nails. Having trouble uploading pictures.

bdgiantman2 Posted December 9, 2018 #125 Posted December 9, 2018 Hello Marcus, I remember having the same issue as you of having difficulty uploading pictures from my Android phone onto this site. It seems that the size of picture that the phone takes is too big or too many pixels for this site to accommodate. After being given an old digital camera, the problem ended for me. Another solution you can try to do is to e-mail yourself the pictures and then using a computer upload the pictures onto your forum. Brian Piet and mtaylor 2 Quote
flying_dutchman2 Posted December 10, 2018 Author #126 Posted December 10, 2018 Sort of fixed the transfer of pics to the forum by setting the camera to manual and reducing the pixel size of the pictures. The deck items are pretty much completed. The stem with bollards and bits. Hatches have been added as well. The main hatch and part of the cabin. Bollards, part of the cabin and at the pointy bow area the mizen mast holder. The vertical piece of wood is for the sheet. There will be two of them. Here is the second vertical bar that will be for the other sheet. Rudder post and rudder. Tiller under the mizen mast holder. Is there another word for 'mizen mast holder'? What about Dutch?

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 17, 2018 Author #133 Posted December 17, 2018 Created more deadeyes. 1: Take a dowel and put it upright in a vise. Use a drill press and a dremel with a 0.061 bit and drill three holes. 2: Remove the dowel from the vise and carefully file a groove all around. 3: Use saw to cut the deadeye of the dowel. 4: Put the deadeye in the drum sander which consists of the following: plastic jar lined with sandpaper (gritt 120) with screw lid, quarter inch dowel which have 2 pieces of sand paper (gritt 120) glued to it I either roll the dowel by hand or attach drill to it running the drill at 3 second bursts.

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 18, 2018 Author #136 Posted December 18, 2018 I inherited a dremel Moto 700 lathe from the secretary of the North West Indiana Woodworkers club and with that item I've made grooves in various size dowels (birch, walnut and cherry) in about 2 hours. When filling a straight groove by hand this is the most difficult part of making a deadeye. With the lathe it is faster and straight. Got 19 dowels which will be about 450 deadeyes. Enough for a few ships. Drilling holes and cutting them off with the saw is easy.

flying_dutchman2 Posted January 15, 2019 Author #137 Posted January 15, 2019 Have been spending several weeks making different types of blocks. Very time consuming assembly work. Several hours everyday. After looking at prices of the different types of blocks I need for the Boyer, it made sense to me to make them myself and save some money. Compared to what is on the market, my blocks are not as nice looking...... Yet. But with time, they will become better looking. Once I start building a Fluit and a war yacht I may just cave and purchase the blocks as I need lots of them. Tried out different type of stock to see for myself what works. Walnut (easy, sands well, will use this for the Boyer), cherry (breaks easily), pear (sands well, no breakage), birch (splinters), and maple (too light in color). I created my own method from the combination of several articles I have on file. Stock is measured in 4, 5, 6, and 7mm width and thickness. Length of dowel is 30cm. With a slithing blade on the saw, 2 slits, 2mm apart, 1mm deep are cut the length of the dowel as well as the opposite side of the dowel. Here I will measure and mark with pencil the different sizes of the blocks. Ever block has a 5mm boundary area between it. Sheave openings are drilled. Now comes the tedious part of the exercise. Boundary cuts are made as we as removing the rest of the stock between the blocks. Top if the picture shows the isolated blocks. Close to the bottom of the picture is where I am sanding the edges to create an elliptical form. The bottom of the picture shows the blocks. The final part of the exercise is the filling in of the stropping grooves and giving the blocks a final sanding. Hope this made some sense.

The picture in the book shows a simple method and I somewhat followed that as well. Main mast channels and deadeyes Mizen mast and deadeyes. Been making some more blocks, just a couple everytime.

flying_dutchman2 Posted February 6, 2019 Author #144 Posted February 6, 2019 Created all the small single and double blocks, throat halliard blocks, fiddler blocks, leeboard block, one heart, 5mm deadeyes, belaying pins (need to make more) the gaff jaws and for extra added entertainment 4 barrels, 2 large and 3 small buckets. All the deadeyes for purchase are flat in the middle on both sides but in reality they should be round. I have tried making them myself but it is not working. I am still figuring how I can do this. I have purchased deadeyes and if I can't make them myself I will use those (picky, picky) Thought of purchasing the buckets but because I was making the small blocks, why not make them myself. Drilled a hole in a dowel, cut them to height and glued a 1/32 thick piece of veneer as bottom to it, sanded and stained or painted them. The rigging of the mizen mast is going to be a challenge. The plans are different compared to the model in the book. So I will look at both and work towards something logically. The rest is the same as the yacht "Utrecht" and the Galjoot (which I have plans for as well). I will add some flags such as the Dutch flags in the colors of 1600's.

flying_dutchman2 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #148 Posted February 20, 2019 Stitching the sails and putting the hardware on the masts and yards. Starting next week I will not be working much on the Boyer as my wife is getting a knee replacement and I will be taking care of her. Also after this boat is completed I want to start building the ships from Abel Tasman. First the fluit, the Zeehaen and last the war yacht, the Heemskerk. Scale will be 1:37.5. The plans I have are the printed 1:75. The cd has 1:50, 1:87.5, 1:100 & 1:150 The model Zeehaen will be a little more than a meter long. Always wanted to build a large ship. The details will be fantastic such as the carvings. I have lots of wood from my wood workers club. The fluit will be a challenge.
