scrubbyj427 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share #31 Posted December 5, 2019 I started adding the laser cut lower framing today it’s going ok but I ran into some big adjustments on #3, I had to take off around .0625” on each piece to get the ends of the bulkheads to match the measurement at the BF and bulkhead intersection. Did anyone else experience having to trim these parts up at all? I feel like these parts should be gimmies... My new table saw should be here tomorrow and I can start making some more frame pieces.

scrubbyj427 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share #32 Posted December 11, 2019 Finished all the port framing today, just need to add the vertical frames tomorrow and fair it up. Hopefully I can get the stern frames mocked up this weekend. That Byrnes saw changed my life! I also corrected and error I found on frame 28, I noticed that it shifted over to the stbd side so everything was high on the port side, thankfully it was easy to correct by softening the glue and clamping it in its proper location until dry again. bdgiantman2, Blue Pilot, JeffT and 13 others 16 Current Builds: HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 - 5th rate 32 gun frigate (on hold for now) HMS Portland 1770 Prototype 1:48 - 4th rate 50 gun ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrubbyj427 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted December 16, 2019 Last night and today I worked on the stern frames, that was a little tricky, I stared at it a lot and constantly was making adjustments in fear of getting something a little off. I think it turned out ok though. Lots more sanding tomorrow and hopefully onto the quarter galley framing. Im not quite certain of the lower sills on the transom, I installed them perpendicular to the frame where they sit, should they be more towards horizontal?

scrubbyj427 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share #40 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) A lot of sanding dust and sawing wood today. Stern framing is on, hoping to complete chapter 1 before I go on vacation. Chuck, I fear I may have taken too much material off the outer stern Frames. Will this work or should I glue some thin strips back on and fair it again?

Chuck Posted December 18, 2019 Share #41 Posted December 18, 2019 The only way to tell for sure is to cit out the stern template and check it against your stern.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share #43 Posted January 10, 2020 Alright back on the wagon! Just finishing up chapter 1. Started fairing the inner bulwarks today, almost got one side done. Once this is finished I’ll build the bollards, finish fairing the inners and finish up chapter 1. Happy new year!

scrubbyj427 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share #46 Posted January 17, 2020 Got the bollard timbers in place, I think they need a little touching up but I’m happy with how it went for the most part.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share #49 Posted January 27, 2020 I got the stern planking in today, it turned out pretty decent, ive sanded it and it’s ready for WOP, speaking of which, what’s the popular choice for WOP? Also has anyone had this much planking hang over the frames? Is this indicative of taking too much material off?

Chuck Posted January 28, 2020 Share #50 Posted January 28, 2020 That looks fine. They are left extra long just in case. Just sand it flush on both sides. use satin and never gloss wipe on poly. Also dont forget to add those filler strips below the counter.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted January 29, 2020 Finally got some lumber nailed to the side of this thing. Good thing this is going to have another layer over the top, there’s going to be just a little filling at the bow. How are you guys ripping your planks? Are you setting the rip fence once and just pushing the block through or are you moving the fence each time? I need to perfect ripping yesterday!

Chuck Posted January 29, 2020 Share #55 Posted January 29, 2020 That looking great. I usually set the fence once 3/64 from the blade and go to work. I use feather boards to keep the sheet down and against the fence.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share #56 Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks Chuck. What exactly do you mean by feather board? Just something to hold the plank that’s being cut, down? It seems as you get close to the end of the cut the large board wants to dive into the blade and then it screws up the next cut. By the way, what blade are you all cutting with?

Rustyj Posted January 29, 2020 Share #57 Posted January 29, 2020 This is a typical feather board set up. There are many variations.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share #59 Posted January 31, 2020 Before I get too carried away on a planking binge, I’m slightly concerned with the landing of the planks at the stern. Chuck, you or anyone else’s thoughts? I’m happy with the rest of the run so far. I’m concerned I may have to do the transom again?

Trussben Posted January 31, 2020 Share #60 Posted January 31, 2020 JJ From what I see from that stern view, it appears that you have tapered them too much inwards, look again at the plans from astern to see the correct shape and adjust from there. ben FrankWouts, Blue Pilot, Saburo and 2 others 5 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.
