dvm27 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #1125 Posted November 13, 2013 So sorry for your loss, Andy. Some of my earliest memories revolve around the time spent in my Grandfather's workshop, watching him build furniture. I'm sure my love of woodworking stemmed from these early years. It sounds like you were very close to yours also. May you have fond memories of time spent with him.

paul carruthers Posted November 13, 2013 Share #1131 Posted November 13, 2013 Andy Hi I'm new to this hobby and will be building Pegasus as my second project following the Caldercraft HMS Cruiser, do you have any pictures or a sketch of how you tapered the false keel prior to first planking, and of rabbeting at the bow section. Did you use the original cannon, have heard the quality is poor, if not any good sourc for replacement barrels. Hope mine turns out as good as yours Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realworkingsailor Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share #1132 Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Paul, For tapering at the stern, I marked out the bearding line and used a small plane for the largest area, working down to a file for the smaller sections. If I had to do it again, I would go even a bit further with my tapering than I did. In the end I had to sand down a good chunk of the first planking to get the second planking to fit nice against the keel. Some builders go as far as to avoid putting any first planking over that area of the bulkhead former (see Spyglass' build log). Whichever method you choose is up to you, both seem to work well. I cut the rabbet using an ordinary craft knife and steel ruler. At the bow and stern, be sure to taper the inside edge of the rabbet to accept planks entering on an angle. You can pretty much follow the bottom edge of the bulkheads for the depth of the rabbet. it's also easies to do all this before you glue on all the bulkheads. Rabbeting at the bow is a bit more of a challenge, but not impossible. Just take your time (and watch your fingers). For the small part of the walnut stem, I used a small cordless Dremel and a cutoff wheel. Careful light passes and you should be ok. One thing I did find, I needed to add a shim strip along the rabbet as the keel pieces did not sit tight in the scarf joint with the stem. This helped increase the depth a touch, and when it came time, the first planking snapped right in and held quite securely. Hope that helps, at least a little bit. Good luck with your upcoming build.

realworkingsailor Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share #1135 Posted November 13, 2013 You're welcome, Paul I almost forgot about the canons. I used the kit supplied ones, which are OK. But if you want to replace them, I'd go with Chuck's. Get his carriages as well, they will better match the guns than the Amati ones.
