HMS Triton Cross Section by Rusty - FINISHED - 1:48


Recommended Posts

Did you enjoy making them? I hated making these more than I did sanding I think.

 

Hi Joss, I'll let you know. I still have 6 to go. :o So far they are on the top of my

list as the least amount of fun. A good challenge but the fun level is a little low.  :D

Your build is looking very nice. I haven't made any knees yet and I'm not looking forward to making them. But, when I do I hope that they will turn out to be as nice as yours.

Thanks Ron, Ben and Larry.

 

The first successful knee took about an hour and a half. I’ve got it

down to almost 45 minutes now. Five down and five to go.

All of the knees are now finished and installed. Taking these pictures

I noticed a couple of gaps I didn't notice before. Dang camera's. :P

Next up will be to cut the notches for the carlings. Normally it's better to cut them

while the ledges are off the model. That doesn't work so well for me. I end up

with carlings that look like they are drunk. So I cut out the plans and glue them

on the ledges and check them with a piece of wood laid over them to make sure

I have a straight run. Them I cut the notches and fit the carlings.

Gaps?  What gaps?  I even zoomed in... It might be better (by some people's definition) to cut the notches off ship, but you do what's right for you.  I tried it both ways on mine and found I preferred to do them "on ship" also.

OK, I can't spend any more time looking for gaps that don't exist.  I did enjoy looking at the beautiful work on those knees though.

 

Nice work!

Well here is a start on all of the carlings. You can see how I first cut

out the plans and glue them in place and then work my way around

cutting the notches and fitting the carlings.

 

That's a start but there are a whole bunch more to do!

Hi Grant. I am cutting mortices. You see some angle cuts on the ledges

but that is my first step in cutting them out. I try to get the width correct

and then I do the depth. Thanks.

Hi Rusty,

 

Just caught up on this one of yours (you have so many!). Beautiful work as usual. I really like your method of cutting the nothes for the carlings and ledges - will keep that in mind for the next project.

Thank you all.

 

Pete. I just lay an old towel on the bench, grip the model with my left hand

and cut with my right. That way I can twist and turn it as needed. 

A vise, for this, I find is to restrictive. If you had a piture of this you

would think I'm trying to crawl inside. :D

Excellent work on the joinery.   I've learned from my experience to just plank the whole deck.. hides all the sins.  Yours has no sins.
