Sjors Posted February 16, 2013 Share #37 Posted February 16, 2013 Hi Remco, Anja told me that I have to take a look at your build. She ask me that several times. I was wondering why. But now I've seen it, I know why. Really great work When I look at the builds of you and Mark and Danny and some much more scratch builders I just feel like a novice. What you can do with wood is almost out of this world.

Remcohe Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks all for your kind words! It was fun for me too to go through all the pictures and make a summary of what has been going on over the past years. Brought back a lot of memories. There is more but I didn't want to make it too long. Dave (Midnight) has a backup of my log and Dave and Danny are sorting things out to get it in a format easier to repost. So hang on and at some point the text will be back too. Greg, if I'm going to add the items (I'm not sure yet) it will be when the fore platform is ready. I think the sequence will be finishing the main mast partner , switching to the fore platform. And then adding the ballast. I need to figure out a way get them secured permanently. There will be lots of handling of the hull for time to come and I don't want to have pieces flying around. I think it's wise not to use the gravel. So now I'll reconstruct my last post on the old log and than move forward. It was a little how to make copper bolts, I use them extensively First the end is rounded off with a cup burr The bolt is cut The cutting leaves a little burr on the edge that needs to be removed, other wise I'm having a hard time inserting the bolt in the hole (my drills are 0,5 mm and the rod something like 0,47 mm so the burr gets in the way). Rolling a steel ruler over it does the trick. Next up is making a thin burr half way down the bolt. This will keep it in place so I don't have t use glue to fix the bolt. The blade is rolled diagonally with light pressure over the bolt. Now the bolt is ready to be installed, I use a home made pushpin with a small hole in the tip so the dome of the bolt will protrude. Blackening is done with liver of sulphur once installed. I make them in small batches so it doesn't become to tedious. I don't dare to make an estimate of how many bolts will be used in this ship. And here's the current state of the foremast, holes can be drilled in the cheeks for the bolts.

BANYAN Posted February 17, 2013 Share #48 Posted February 17, 2013 Glad to see you repost this great build mate. A quick question. How do you fit the round hole of the cap to the topmast (place the topmast into this hole)? I am building the caps for my Endeavour and find that with the 6 sided beveled conical piece at the top I simply cannot slide it through and I have had to cut the calp[s in two longitudinally. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a matter of gently pulling the strips through the plate. Hi Remco, Your Build log s definitely appreciated again. I am amazed at your perfect wood and metal craftsmanship. Is there any way you can perhaps post a tutorial on how you manufactured your metal hinges like the one in your image "IMG_7922.jpeg"? Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the process. If I remember right I flattened brass rod, cut and filed the pieces into shape and silver soldered them. By the looks there are 3 pieces, the bolts are simulated by drilling small holes.
