Remcohe Posted March 17, 2013 Author #122 Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks all! Greg the squares are 1 cm so a bit larger than you thought. Time to make the cleats that will support the blocks from the mast. For one second I thought of setting up the mill but decided to make the cleats by hand. Glad I did, it's fun to do and there is something about cutting wood with a well honed chisel. A couple of files did the rest. I made the cleats for both the fore and the main mast the same size, not sure if this is correct.

druxey Posted March 17, 2013 #125 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Lovely, but don't fix the cleats yet: it's difficult to thread the lashing lines through if they are firmly in place!

SJSoane Posted March 20, 2013 #128 Posted March 20, 2013 I forgot to ask, perhaps druxey. Are they the same size on all masts? I don't think I have seen anything specifying their sizes.

druxey Posted March 22, 2013 #130 Posted March 22, 2013 I believe that the cleats are, like everything else, proportional. Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Remcohe Posted March 23, 2013 Author #131 Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks guys. Druxey, the cleats aren't fixed yet, I'll first make the lashings, but this needs to wait until the stays are in place. Probably some years from now........I'll make the cleats for the foremast a little smaller, I found them a bit on the large side too. As the masts are now finished to a point I'm going to store them it's time to return to the hull. Remember I started making the mast so I could position the mast partners. What a fun few months of deviation from the path this has been, can't wait to return to the mast. Maybe as a side project somewhere down the road. Now it's back to deck building. Plenty of challenges here to like this beam with all the mortices.....

Piet Posted March 23, 2013 #132 Posted March 23, 2013 Niiiiiiiice! Did you cut the camber in or did you heat-bend it? I assume the mortices are hand cut instead on your milling attachment.

Remcohe Posted March 24, 2013 Author #137 Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks guys. Sure Bob, although I haven't found a safe place yet. .. Piet, the beams are cut on a scroll saw and sanded using a simple jig. I still have some pictures somewhere in my archive. Of course the mortices are hand cut That said, I had to take out the lathe to make the mast wedge. I used French Box which is a real treat to turn on a lathe. The mast step is hold in place with wedges Everything was dry fitted, this is becoming a cramped part of the ship and this is even without the cisterns The holes in the mast partner are cut using chisels and files Remco Wishmaster, druxey, Elmer Cornish and 10 others 13 Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Remcohe Posted March 27, 2013 Author #142 Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks guys. Now is also the time to dryfit the upper well. I had made this one two years ago. Actually it didn't fit and some modification was necessarily, it was slightly to high but this was good as I also had forgotten to take the chamber of the deckbeams into account when I made the well. Removing wood is easier than adding Now it looks like this. I also made another set of hanging knees, nasty bits to make... I still need to get back into the flow of making beam, knee and ledges parts Remco fatih79, archjofo, Jeronimo and 5 others 8 Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Remcohe Posted March 31, 2013 Author #149 Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks guys. Yes Carl time really fly's... I'm working on the main topsail bitt's. The score's for the deckbeam and cross piece were scored on the table saw as well as several scores to mark the thickness of this piece. The rest was removed using files and sanding sticks. I used a special angled sanding tick to add the small sloped face at the bottom edge of the head. Here they are test fitted next up is adding the shaves and the cheeks I'm not sure if the bitt's were also bolted to the upper deck beam, I'll will do botls so I can register the bitts with some pins.
