Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share #35 Posted September 21, 2020 THANKS YOU JOHN , and VLADIMIR, HI EVERYONE, JUST GOT A LITTLE BUSY WITH THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE, BUT I AM BACK TO MODELING AGAIN. FINISHING UP THE STIFFNERS AND THE FOOT BRACE WHICH ARE NOW COMPLETED. THEN THE PREVENTER CLEATS WHICH I MADE FROM 1/8" SQUARE BOXWOOD WHERE NEXT. AS FOR THE THIGH BOARD IT WAS FAIRLY SIMPLE. I HAD TO DRILL HOLES FOR THE LIFTING STRAP, KICKING STRAP, AND THE CLUMSY CLEAT ALL LOCATED ON THE THIGH BOARD. ONCE DONE I DID NOT INSTALL THE BOARD BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK WITH THE TREADED "BOX". WHY DO I SAY THIS? WELL REMEMBER I STARTED THIS LOG A FEW YEARS BACK AND THEN I GOT BUSY. I LEFT FOR ALMOST 2 YRS. STUPID ME WHEN I READ THRU RONNBERG's BOOK I CAME TO THE BOX. I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE RONNBERG's INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHEN TO DO THE BOX. I MADE MY PLANS, BUT TOTALLY FORGOT. WHICH MADE BUILDING THE BOX A ROYAL PAIN THE BUTT!!! I WAS PLANNING ON MAKING TEMPLATES OF THE BOX BEFORE THE INWALES, BOX CHOCKS, GUNWALES, AND THE CHEEKS WHERE ALL INSTALLED. BY FORGETTING TO DO SO, EVERYTHING WAS IN THE WAY AND BUILDING THE BOX TURNED INTO A PAIN. IF I HAD REMEMBERED HOW I WAS GOING TO GO ABOUT BUILDING THE BOX IT WOULD OF BEEN A BREEZE TO DO. "STUPID ME". I PRIDE MYSELF THAT I TRY TO LOOK AHEAD AND PLAN THINGS WAY AHEAD OF TIME TO MAKE THINGS EASY ON ME. PRACTICUMS ARE GOOD BUT TO ME THEY ARE MORE LIKE THE "PIRATES CODE".....MORE LIKE GUIDELINES. LOL! SO HERE WE GO.... wefalck, mtaylor and KORTES 3 Quote Thank You all...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share #36 Posted September 21, 2020 NOW WHERE RONNBERG's BOOK IS SUPERB FOR BUILDING THE BOAT, I DO FAVOR ANSEL's BOOK THE WHALEBOAT IS GREAT FOR ADDING DETAILS TO THE BOAT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME KNOW HOW I AM. I TRY TO MAKE MY MODEL MY OWN, BY CHANGING THINGS UP. IN ANSEL's BOOK HE SHOWS THE N.B. BOAT WITH A MAST TROUGH AND A JIB SAIL. SO I WILL BE GOING IN THAT DIRECTION TO MAKE MY MODEL DIFFENT FROM OTHER MODELS OF THE BOAT. HERE ARE A FEW PICS OF WHY I WENT IN THIS DIRECTION.....

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share #40 Posted September 22, 2020 THE NEXT 2 PHOTOS OF THROUGH ALSO SHOW SOME OF THE gaping OF THE FLOORING. I DID THIS BY USING CARD IN BETWEEN EACH FLOOR. WHEN YOU READ ABOUT THESE BOATS, THEY WERE BUILT AND THEY WERE BUILT FAST. SO THEY WERE BUILT ROUGH. WITH GAPS HERE AND THERE. I JUST WANTED MY BOAT A LITTLE CLOSE TO THE REAL THING. NOW THE CHOCK LOCATED AT THE BOW IS WHERE THE WHALE LINE WOULD RUN WHEN A WHALE WAS SPEARED. THE CHOCK WAS PROTECTED BY A BRASS, LEAD, LIGNUM VITAE, WHALEBONE OR A ROLLER. THE KIT PROVIDER A ROLLER, BUT MY FRIEND USED IT WHEN I GAVE HIM THIS KIT. I USED A FISH WEIGHT OF COURSE MADE OF LEAD AND SHAPED IT TO FIT. IF YOU HAVE NOTICE THE HOLES DRILLED IN THE BOX ARE IN A TRIANGULAR SHAPE. THEY DRILLED IN THIS PATTERN OR A DIAMOND SHAPE. NOW THEY NOT FOR DRAINAGE BUT FOR THE CHOCK PINS. THE PINS WERE USED TO HELP KEEP THE WHALE LINE FROM JUMPING OUT OF THE CHOCK. THEY SAY IF THE CHOCK WASN'T PROTECTED IN THIS CASE WITH LEAD THE CHOCK AND STEM POST WOULD BARELY LAST ONE SEASON, IT WOULD WEAR DOWN VERY FAST. AND NOW ONWARD TO THE BUILDING OF THE TABERNACLE. THIS MODEL IS A LOT OF FUN, BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF LITTLE BITS TO DO HERE AND THERE WHICH I ENJOYING MAKING... wefalck, mtaylor and KORTES 3 Quote Thank You all...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share #41 Posted September 23, 2020 Now to finish off the Tabernacle and trough area. And adding extra little bits for the jib sail. Now I am not good at all with metal working. My parents couldn't afford much, so I could only go to wood shop in high school. No metal shop. Oh well. Working with metal never interested me anyway. So used my mini band-saw to cut out what I needed for making the mast hinge from a brass sheet. After that a little filing and sanding to take the rough away and there you go. I then traced it over the swiss pear I used for completed the hinge. I drilled the hole small at first and once i figure which nails to use I real drilled to a bigger set of holes, and at the same time pre-drilling the wood. I just then pressed the nail in place and I was done. If you notice the flat strip of brass at the upper right. What I did was fold it over and made sure the brass rod for the hinge pin fit properly. Then I took the roll out of it and took a measurement. Then I knew how long to make tongue for the 3 pieces used to make the hinge. Yes i could just made them longer, but it just seemed easier and worked out better for me. mtaylor and KORTES 2 Quote Thank You all...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share #43 Posted September 23, 2020 I can pretty call this area done, except for the drilling of the hole for the mast. The instruction say to do this ahead of time. For me I figured I can better locate where the mast hole should be placed. Like I mentioned earlier. I was going with not just the main sail, but also add the jib. It required me to add a few more bits at the bow. The jib cleats and jib staple. The staple was in some boats just for the simple reason that they would at times run the line to the jib thru a staple located just under the chock.

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share #45 Posted September 24, 2020 Thank you for the likes everyone! Now for the thwart knees and the pads. I decided to use basswod because the thwarts were boxwood. Since both are light colored I figured it would make for a nice contrast. I pre- bended one of the strips ahead of the knees. No reason. Once I figured the curve to the knee I made a little template so I would have the same curve for all 12 knees. Made all the knees a little proud so I could just do a little sanding in place, till they were flush with the wales. The one knee to the extreme left is completed. Even though I pre- bended the strips I Soaked the strips for about a minute and placed them on the knees and cloths pinned them for a few minutes so they would conform to the curve on the knee. I cut them to length and glued them in place afterwards. Per the practicum this was going to be done with 2 lamination's. The clothes worked very well, because the inside of the pin was of course wood and rounded which helped keeping the pin from leaving a mark on the soft basswood. working on the 2nd lamination. Both lamination's in place, glued, sanded, and ready for wipe-on poly. The two different tones of light colored wood came out real nice for my taste. And how I left it last night. Just a little finish and we be done. LATER YOU ALL!!! Siggi52, mtaylor, KORTES and 2 others 5 Quote Thank You all... Mario "Each of us is a mixture of some good and some not so good qualities.

I TRIED CARVING THE LOGGERHEAD INSTEAD OF JUST TURNING IT ON THE LATHE. NEXT TIME IT'S THE LATHE. I AM STICKING WITH WHAT I DO BEST...HAHA! THE HARPOON CROTCH AND THE TUB OAR CROTCH FROM BASSWOOD... TRYING TO BETTER MY METAL WORKING SKILLS WHICH I HAVE NON TO SPEAK OF. THE TUB OAR LOCK WAS A LITTLE CHALLENGE WITH SILVER SOLDERING. IT CAME OUT PRETTY GOOD. SOLDERING SMALL ITEMS IS A CHALLENGE FOR ME. LARGER ITEMS NO BIGGIE. RONNBERG HAS THIS IN HIS BOOK, BUT THESE WERE USED IN THE LATE 1860's THRU EARLY 1870's. WHY HE HAD THIS IN HIS BOOK AND ON THE PLANS??? ALL I CAN FIGURE IS THE BOAT DID NOT CHANGE MUCH IN EVERYTHING ELSE SO MAYBE THAT's WHY. I AM JUST GUESSING HERE. IF I WANTED TO USE IT I COULD???

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share #56 Posted October 15, 2020 JOHN, MIKE THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WISH I HAD YOUR SKILLS WITH METAL WORKING MIKE. BECAUSE I AM HAVING ONE HELL OF A TIME WITH IT RIGHT NOW. HEY EVERYONE, JUST BEEN BUSY MODELING AND GETTING THINGS READY FOR THE CHANGE OF SEASONS. JUST DOING ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ON THE W.B. ONCE I THINK I HAVE EVERYTHING IN ORDER I WILL BE WORKING ON ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE BOAT. I DID THE RACKS FOR THE HARPOONS AND LANCES FROM BRASS. THE RUDDER IS DONE AND AGAIN METAL WORK WITH THE PINTALS AND GUDGEONS. LANDYARDS ARE ALL OVER THIS BOAT SO STARTED A LITTLE RIGGING HERE ALSO. THEN I DECIDED ON THE LANTERN. MY SCORE WORKING WITH METAL WAS PRETTY GOOD TILL I RAN INTO THE LANTERN. MY JOURNEY WENT THRU 5 DIFFERENT TRIES AT THE LANTERN. AFTER NUMBER 5 I WAS PLAYING WITH JUST BUYING ONE. BUT GAVE IT ONE LAST TRY WILL OL RELIABLE INSTEAD OF BRASS, AND I DUMPED ON THE METAL WORK ALL TOGETHER. AS FOR THE COMPASS I AM THINKING ON THAT ONE RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE. NOW I GUESS THE FACE OF THE COMPASS IS CALLED A ROSE? DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND ONE TO MAKE THE FACE. SO ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE WELCOMED. THE MAST IS NEXT UP.
