druxey Posted November 4, 2013 Share #332 Posted November 4, 2013 Those bitts will never move anywhere under the strain of the cables when anchored! Well done: I don't think I've seen this detail in a model before.

tlevine Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share #337 Posted November 5, 2013 Gentlemen, thank you for your comments. It was a little fiddley but I am pleased with the appearance. Druxey, I looked at a lot of build logs and did not see anyone else notch the standards. Remco, this was nothing compared to the detail work on your Kingfisher. bp1535, Remcohe and Trussben 3 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: Utrecht-1742 Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section NRG Rigging Project Utrecht-1742 Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

tlevine Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share #338 Posted November 7, 2013 The crosspiece of the bitts is comprised of two different wood species. The fore section is oak and the thinner aft section is elm. Both of these are light-colored species so I did not want a stark contrast between the two pieces. I used pau marfin for the "elm". The crosspiece is attached to each pin with two bolts. The metal work for the bitt will wait until I have a few other metal projects, although the holes to accept the metal pieces have already been drilled. paulsutcliffe, Elmer Cornish, artitec3 and 2 others 5 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: Utrecht-1742 Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section NRG Rigging Project Utrecht-1742 Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

tlevine Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share #339 Posted November 7, 2013 The sixth beam set is relatively straight forward. The aft bulkhead for the boatswain's cabin was temporarily removed to make installation easier. The pillar is supposed to go through the hatch coaming. I cheated and it is simply glued to the surface of the coaming. There is a tenon on the superior aspect of the pillar with a mortise on the under surface of the beam. artitec3, Remcohe, Jeronimo and 8 others 11 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: Utrecht-1742 Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section NRG Rigging Project Utrecht-1742 Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

tlevine Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share #340 Posted November 21, 2013 Beam set 7 includes the opening for the fore hatch. These carlings are a little larger than the standard ones. As I am building the lower deck structures as I move aft, it was time to build the aft sail room. The fore sail room is one of the small rooms on the port side near beam set 4. This was a fun little structure to make. The lateral walls have louvers to allow ventilation into the room. I do not own a mill so the mortises for the louvers were made with an 11 blade. On Atalanta, the door into this room is a slider, not a hinged door. Consequently, the door must be made wider than the opening and it will be on the outside wall of the sail room. There is a pillar on the inside wall precluding placing the door there. Not having built a sliding door before, I went over to the local stable and looked at my horse's stall door. The latch is a L-shaped bolt on the door with a U-shaped piece of metal on the door frame to receive the bolt. The bolt measured 3" x 4" x 3/8". This would require making a u-shaped channel 0.01" square. Needless to say, this is well beyond my skill set so I have a flat piece of metal on the door frame representing it instead. Decking was placed under the assembly on the starboard side. The last two pictures show the sail room assembly before and after a coat of finish.

druxey Posted November 21, 2013 Share #341 Posted November 21, 2013 That's looking lovely, Toni. If you felt like it, you could fabricate a wood channel from a flat strip with two square ones glued on top, the door thickness apart.

tlevine Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share #343 Posted November 22, 2013 Druxey, you caught me! Actually, I wanted the glue on the door to be secure and then put the track on on top. Going back to my stall door model, there is no track on the bottom. Was there one on a ship? Greg, I thought about cutting the mortises on the Preac (and when I do the upper well that is my plan) but I did not have a thin enough saw blade with me that day.

druxey Posted November 22, 2013 Share #345 Posted November 22, 2013 I imagine there would be tracks top and bottom. Your stalls are land-bound, so doesn't need two tracks, but imagine the door to the sail room banging around in a seaway. The lower track would be two battens nailed to the deck.

tlevine Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share #347 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) A delayed thank you to Maurey and Pavel. Druxey, the tracks are now installed and, like so many details that we add, are now almost invisible! But we all know they are there... Beam sets 9 and 10 are in place. The only unusual items are the opposed lodging knees at the dead flat. I did not have thick enough wood with me this week to make them, so they will be installed next week. They will be identical to the ones on the lower deck. Look at page 10 of this build to see how they are shaped.

tlevine Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share #351 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I have made and installed the opposed lodging knees. Since I did not go into any detail on their construction for the lower deck, let me demonstrate how I made them. First, I make a template of the knee and saw it out a bit oversized. The thickness of the blank is about 2.5 times the normal thickness to allow for the curvatures. I then mark on the blank the areas that will be removed. I use a combination of my Preac saw, Dremel sanding discs and sandpaper to remove the excess material. The knees are given a final shaping and the bolts are added prior to installation.

michael mott Posted December 10, 2013 Share #355 Posted December 10, 2013 They look very sharp. I am curious as to the reason that they exist, is it simply to deal with the knees coming from opposite ends and this is where they meet?
