KORTES Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share #151 Posted December 20, 2023 While the oil is drying out, I decided to start with the boat and longboat. I made two “pieces” and now deciding which manufacturing method to choose. JpR62, CiscoH, rlb and 11 others 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted January 31 Author Share #152 Posted January 31 The first option went to the trash can. The form seems to be sheathed well, but it’s impossible to remove the shell. Something hasn’t been done fully probably. Apparently I will have to remake the form, and make it from three parts that can be disassembled. scrubbyj427, Keith Black, tlevine and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted January 31 Author Share #153 Posted January 31 I made a technological mistake and here is the result. I will have to try again.🙂 Meanwhile I am tuning the Proxxon circular saw, a gift for the New Year. Some components are very crude and require some changes.

Maybe they will come in handy for the covering of a small lifeboat. Paul Le Wol, Keith Black, CiscoH and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted February 13 Share #157 Posted February 13 Sad to see your first effort go to the trash bin, especially as you planked it so beautifully. But your old method produced a very fine boat. Very nice work, Alexander.

KORTES Posted February 22 Author Share #158 Posted February 22 Basically, I have finished the longboat. I don’t see the point in further detalisation. There will anyway be a boat on top. I didn’t do the the rudder as well, because I don’t have to install it anyway. All that’s left is to cover it with oil.

That is probably true, but it just makes your results just that much more remarkable! My paternal grandfather was also very good at carving by hand back in the depression with his own handmade tools. I was always impressed by how he could create such beautiful sculptures and furniture from the most basic tools and scraps of lumber that he could get a hold of. I think that's who I inherited my urge to recycle rather than replace from. mtaylor, FriedClams, Keith Black and 1 other 3 1 Quote Dave “You’ve just got to know your limitations” Dirty Harry Current Builds: Modified MS 1/8” scale Phantom, and modified plastic/wood hybrid of Aurora 1:87 scale whaling bark Wanderer.

KORTES Posted 2 hours ago Author Share #163 Posted 2 hours ago In general I have completed work on the small boat. On the drawing it comes without metal fastenings for the mast, after some thought I decided to do it as on the drawing. What is left to do is to cover it with oil, make two slipways and install it inside the longboat.
