FriedClams Posted March 26 Share #361 Posted March 26 Nice update on the dories, Richard. That last photo shows how identically you're building them. Excellent!

But none like the ones you have from VM! Another site I found had some usable figures, but still not quite as good. https://www.shapeways.com/product/QK2DXA2W9/printle-w-homme-1334-p-1-64?optionId=300710035&li=marketplace There seems to be a 3-D print to order market in Europe. Still haven't found any in US. I see Modelu has a distributor in Canada but they only carry model railroad sizes. On another topic, what do you use for magnification? John John I received the ModelU figures. Here's a link: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired guy Posted April 1 Author Share #364 Posted April 1 Looking at the drawing I bought from the Fishing museum in Lunenburg it shows how the planks overlapped at the middle station, then at each end they butt up so to hold plank in place I drilled holes in the jig so that it would overlap in middle and butt up at ends, started with three wood posts which was not enough so added two more, then I broke the wood posts so change them to brass tube.. Shape was good so have cut all sixteen planks now started the production. Got two glued and they have come out pretty good. Have been using this glue on all my wood gluing and it works great. Thanks for all the comments and likes, until next time.

Retired guy Posted April 17 Author Share #365 Posted April 17 (edited) Finished the second planking, then removed pins then re-drilled re added pins for adding third planks. This again worked well, now have all with three planks each side and pins removed to start last set of planks. Thanks guys for looking in and the likes.
