42rocker Posted May 26, 2013 Share #181 Posted May 26, 2013 Rusty Just looked at your planking and page 99 of Mondfeld's Historic Ship Models and your planking looks like the 2nd one down which is the Continental variation of the three plank shift. Nice Job. Love your use of colored woods. I'm thinking Bloodwood for several spots. Also Love Mondfeld's book. Well need to go thickness plan some wood for my build. Looking forward to seeing what great things that you do next.

Rustyj Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share #182 Posted June 6, 2013 Hi all, Well I’ve been on a bit of a forced break. Our daughter went on a second honeymoon and we had the pleasure of watching three of our sweet but high maintenance grandkids. So needless to say I was lucky if I got to look longingly into the workshop yet not be able to step in and partake! It took one day to figure out where I left off and what to do next. Here are some things I had done prior to their arrival and since the departure. Seeing that I had planked the deck to the point that I needed to install the main topsail sheet bitts before I could continue I figured it was time to make them. I started at the tops, figured the depth I needed to cut them to and the cut away the extra with the table saw. After they were cut square I used a file to sand them down to a round shape. After that I used the table saw to cut the cross piece and deck beam notches. I then drilled the holes for the sheaves and shaped them with a file and xacto. Here they are set temporarily in place. fatih79, Mcdood and Paddy 3 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted June 6, 2013 Share #183 Posted June 6, 2013 Rusty: They look very good. My only advice here is to make sure they are set perpendicular to the baseline when you finally install them. Right now, they look like they are leaning outboard a bit.

Rustyj Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share #184 Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks Russ. Yes they are a bit off plus the angle of the camera makes it worse. Once I glue them in place hopefully they will sit straight.

Rustyj Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share #185 Posted June 6, 2013 Next I focused on the Gallows. The plans called for them to look like this. I saw some other builds where people got a little creative with the gallows and I liked the look and figured I’d give it a try. First I cut the gallows as per the plans. After cutting the gallows from the plans I decided on a style I like, traced it on the wood. I then using a ¼” dremel sanding drum, files and sand paper I created the shape. Here it is semi sanded to the desired shape. I don’t know if it is historically accurate but I’ve heard the captain can us his prerogative while building his ship.

Boccherini Posted June 6, 2013 Share #188 Posted June 6, 2013 Rusty, nice work with the bitts and gallows. Your technique for the top of the bitts is a good one, I'm banging my head against the wall at present whilst repeating "Why didn't I think of that!". The tops of my bitts were made as separate pieces, creating some extra, fiddly work to assemble it all. Keep up the good work. Btw, your use of the word "sweet" to describe the grandkids, are they all girls? Regards, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcdood Posted June 6, 2013 Share #189 Posted June 6, 2013 Nice work Rusty, it is good to make your own mark on the build and of course you are not only the builder of, but also the captain of your ship.

Rustyj Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share #196 Posted June 9, 2013 Hi all, Thank you for all the kind words. It is very much appreciated. Well after making the bits and gallows I installed just the bits and cross piece. I left the gallows off for now as I still had to add a few pieces of planking and treenail. I didn’t want to damage the gallows with my ham fist hands. For the deck treenails I used boxwood. They stand out a little more than some will like but I kind of liked the contrast. Next I will start framing in the gun ports and continue planking the exterior of the hull. That is if the summer activates will allow me sometime to do so. aykutansin, Jaxboat, fatih79 and 5 others 8 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #200 Posted June 18, 2013 Hi all and thanks for the kinds words. I’ve been trying to find a bit of time here and there between summer stuff, grandkids and ugh….work. I started to work on the gun ports. I wanted to keep working with wood instead of paint but I also wanted the bulwarks and ports to be red. So with that in mind I framed in the gun ports with red heart and will plank the inboard with red heart and outboard with boxwood. Here you can see the start of the framing. Thanks for following along! sonicmcdude, fatih79, augie and 3 others 6 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share #207 Posted June 19, 2013 Thank you, Russ, 42Rocker, Mark, Grant, Joss and Bob. I glad you like it. Before I could continue planking I had to make the trim board. I took an old scraper and filed the desired profile into it (the left one). Cut the trim piece from some swiss pear and then used the scrapper to shape it. And then added it to the hull. Now I can finish the planking and then make some more treenails. giku22, mtaylor and harvey1847 3 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
