Gregory Posted February 14, 2017 Share #962 Posted February 14, 2017 ....... I have no woodworking background, so live and learn. I couldn't resist snipping this from your post..

JSGerson Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share #964 Posted February 14, 2017 Gregory - I wasn't kidding about not having a woodworking background. When I started the Rattlesnake I owned some screwdrivers, a hammer, some wrenches, you know, your typical household repair stuff. I did not own a saw. When I started to buy tools, they were all for the model making. So I now have a Brynes saw, a Brynes thickness sander, a 35 yr old Dremel scroll saw, and rotary drills with a drill press accessory. Any wood working stuff I have is all for model making. I still don't own any full size wood working tools. 8-) Jon russ, CaptainSteve, Martin W and 1 other 4 Quote Current Build: Model Shipways USS Frigate Constitution Past Builds: Bob Hunt's kitbash of the Mamoli Rattlesnake Model Shipways Typical Ship’s Boat for the Rattlesnake Mini-Mamoli solid hull British Schooner Evergreen Model Airways Albatros D.Va - 1917, The Red Baron's Forgotten Fighter Member: Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupot Posted July 25, 2021 Share #973 Posted July 25, 2021 On 5/22/2013 at 2:49 PM, JSGerson said: Once the bulkhead-keel was glued solid, I transferred the rabbet lines to it using a copy of the Hahn plan as a template The next step is to finally remove the stem, stern post, and keel from the kit supplied bulkhead-keel along the rabbet line. Because the keel and stem were removed, creating the rabbet was fairly easy as there was no resulting “notch” just a narrowing of the plywood. When the new keel, stem and stern post are attached the rabbet notch line will be back Please put a handle on that file.! As an apprentice it was one of the first things we where taught - ALWAYS fit a handle, if the file digs in the tang is sure to stab the palm of your hand!
