allanyed Posted March 6, 2022 #155 Posted March 6, 2022 I second Greg's comment. Patience, sharp tools and probably some do overs rather than settling and there is the recipe for an achievable feat by other builders.

AdamA Posted March 15, 2022 Author #159 Posted March 15, 2022 I finally decided to get this ship her own table inside. I usually work outside on my third floor patio that I converted to a workshop (because we had a baby and the nursery is on the first floor adjacent to the garage where I would probably prefer to work). I couldn't run any machinery if he was napping. So I got a cheap table so I can drill into it as necessary. oneslim, Keith Black, GrandpaPhil and 11 others 14 Quote
Beef Wellington Posted March 15, 2022 #160 Posted March 15, 2022 Adam, very much enjoyed catching up on your log, I very much appreciate you showing how you approached the basic wood working of each piece for those of us not too familiar with basic techniques, you make it look simple! A beautiful model you have coming together here, very much want to follow along. Keith Black, AdamA, Dave_E and 1 other 3 1 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

tlevine Posted March 15, 2022 #161 Posted March 15, 2022 Since you can drill into the table, I would recommend drilling your mounting holes and bolt the keel to it. Those clamps will not keep everything level. mtaylor, Dave_E and AdamA 3 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: Utrecht-1742 Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section NRG Rigging Project Utrecht-1742 Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.
AdamA Posted March 25, 2022 Author #162 Posted March 25, 2022 I attached some spacers temporarily inside these frames with CA glue before I sand these. GrandpaPhil, Ainars Apalais, scrubbyj427 and 6 others 7 2 Quote
tlevine Posted March 26, 2022 #163 Posted March 26, 2022 Somehow, the words CA and temporarily don't belong in the same sentence. Why not PVA? Dissolves easily in isopropanol. mtaylor 1 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: Utrecht-1742 Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section NRG Rigging Project Utrecht-1742 Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.
AdamA Posted March 29, 2022 Author #164 Posted March 29, 2022 I have never had any problem removing CA after a day or two for quick holds. Is it supposed to be permanent? Hmm. In the meantime I just ordered all the rest of Byrnes tools. I got the thickness sander last year (and it is a perfect piece of machinery) so I ordered his table saw and disk sander. It's going to be fun opening those boxes in a few weeks. Trond, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote

AdamA Posted April 8, 2022 Author #167 Posted April 8, 2022 I need some small clamps that won't damage the frames. As a stop-gap measure I use tweezers with these clamps attached a short distance away from the business end. It allows me to adjust the power downward. These clamps are so strong they can actually break these frames so this is my solution. mtaylor, Ondras71, popash42 and 4 others 7 Quote
allanyed Posted April 11, 2022 #168 Posted April 11, 2022 Loving your build and thank you for sharing! I know this is well in advance, but what plans are you going to use for the 23 foot launch which has become as famous as the Bounty itself? If you are not yet decided I did a detailed drawing of a 23 foot launch based on NMM drawings and scantlings from the plans as well as the scantlings in W.E. May's book on ships' boats that I can scale to 1:48 if you are interested. I look forward to your next progress post.

AdamA Posted April 14, 2022 Author #169 Posted April 14, 2022 Allan, I haven't decided much farther than frames yet. I'd definitely be interested in your drawings. I scratch built the launch for my Mayflower blindly and it may have become a bit too modern by accident. I used a jeweler's saw to start getting the frames to the correct height: yvesvidal, garyshipwright, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote

AdamA Posted April 15, 2022 Author #171 Posted April 15, 2022 I just unboxes Byrnes' Model Machines disk sander and table saw. They will replace my standard size sander (which sounded like a boat motor when turned on) and my Microlux tilt table saw (which I've had since 2006). A word of advice to anyone who feels they have lost their childhood amazement and wonder and want to keep it that way: don't buy this table saw and open the box. My gosh. The adjustments are so smooth. Its beautiful. scrubbyj427, Keith Black, CiscoH and 6 others 8 1 Quote

I didn't have any detailed plans so I "winged it." As a result, it tuned out to be about 100 years too modern for the sloop on the actual ship.

AdamA Posted July 24, 2022 Author #175 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) I took your advice to put weight on these while drying and used a sharpening stone with wax paper to sit on top of the frames as they dry to keep them flat.
