However I understand it is quite a difficult model to build for a beginner. I won,t be starting my next model until October/November when the autumn begins to settle in.

I will of coarse add any question I may have, as they arise. I will eventually start another blog once I have purchased the Endeavour kit which should be sometime next month. I am also planning on buying either a drill press or even a milling m/c at some stage before I start building in the hope of producing better elements of the model . I also have a thread running on this subject too.

I like the look of walnut, but you will find it's detractors among some ' purists '.. I wonder how it responds to " Chuck's edge bending method " ?

LyleK1 Posted May 25, 2021 #224 Posted May 25, 2021 I wonder how it responds to " Chuck's edge bending method " ? I've been using Chuck's method on my Bounty build. Considering that I'm working with 5mm X 2mm walnut and in some cases 10mm X 2mm, it works well but it does take a little extra time. It takes about 20-30 minutes to soak a piece long enough to bend it and you may need to bend it twice to keep it from snapping! I use almost an exact set-up to Chucks except I use a sealing iron for heat. Check out my build log for more details and pictures if you're interested. BTW, Dave, your build is beautiful! Well done! The Endeavor is on my short list too... I'll be watching for your log!

The Endeavor is on my short list too... I'll be watching for your log! Thank you Lyle for your input. I did exactly the same for the Bounty using a heating Iron and Chucks method of marking off and bending edge ways and as you say takes a bit more time but turned out quite good in the end. I will take a look at your log and compare notes haha. For the record the Bounty's first layer of planking is also Walnut where as the Endeavour is lime. The Bounty's first layer was also 6mm wide x 1.5mm thick which wasn,t without issue but I ended up soaking overnight as this seemed to be the only way to bend the planks on their edge. I did not need to do this with the second planking as it was only 0.5mm thick.The Endeavour's second planking 1mm thick so I might have to soak this too for sometime.

I wonder how it responds to " Chuck's edge bending method " ? I used Chucks method of bending edgeways on the Bounty using 6 mm x 1.5 mm Walnut strips. and was not without its problemms. I ended up soaking the strips overnight , enough for the next day and this worked fine .At the time I was informed that there was minimum shrinkage with Walnut but I did use a heating Iron as well . The second layer was much easier although also Walnut was only 0.5mm thick and 4 mm wide. The Endeavours first planking is lime so hoping it will be easier to work with.
