MeandSuzy1 Posted April 26, 2022 #1 Posted April 26, 2022 Well I've been looking around and it would seem theres lots here in the know. I got a screaming deal on the model mentioned above. It was the one I really wanted. I cut out and sanded all the tits off the pieces and labelled each set in it's own clear bag. Got all set and I want to (would love to) hear from those in the know if there's a frame assembly glue that you all have had great success with? I think I'm good to start. Made jig to hold spine straight, and would love to hear. Mainly bout glue, BUT. If there's anything else that would start me off with more success. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH Keith Black and Peanut6 2 Quote
allanyed Posted April 26, 2022 #2 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) MeanSuzy1 Welcome to MSW. It would be great if you would post a little intro about yourself and a name by which we can address you in the new member forum. Regarding your project, there are numerous posts and discussions regarding glues here at MSW and there is no single answer. Most seem to prefer carpenters' glue (yellow PVA) for all wood to wood, (me included) but many others like cyanoacrylate, others epoxy, and more. I assume you have studied the numerous build logs on the same Bounty kit here at MSW as that will help you during your building process. If not, it will be a big help pointing out the plusses and minuses you will encounter including where to research additional sources of information such as proper planking techniques and more. Read five times, glue once. 😀 Allan Edited April 26, 2022 by allanyed Keith Black, Peanut6, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

mtaylor Posted May 21, 2022 #6 Posted May 21, 2022 I'd suggest opening a build log to carry on from here. This area is more for methods and jigs than a build.

MeandSuzy1 Posted May 27, 2022 Author #10 Posted May 27, 2022 I'll shut up,cause I should do one of them logs, but not disciplined enough mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
allanyed Posted May 27, 2022 #11 Posted May 27, 2022 Me&Suzy Just open a build log and move the photos and text. I am sure more folks will see your work and help you as you wish. Are the gratings supplied with the kit? The reason I ask is that they do not look like a real grating nor do the head ledges and coamings around the gratings. Most kit makers do not seem to understand how gratings and the coamings and ledges were made thus supply their own make-believe design.

allanyed Posted June 2, 2022 #13 Posted June 2, 2022 You really should move this thread to a build log. This is not the best place to be posting your build. Just a suggestion.

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #18 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I made these barrel keeps out of old stir stick to hold 4 barrel on too of keel. Used my Drexel to put in the 1/2 rounds Edited June 2, 2022 by MeandSuzy1 Add Peanut6 1 Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #19 Posted June 2, 2022 When I finished barrel keeps, I put eyes from kit at ends and holes between so as maybe to tie string threw to look like a rope tie mort stoll, Peanut6 and ccoyle 3 Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #20 Posted June 2, 2022 So toothpicks hold the string/rope on back side Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #21 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) This log stuff is more fun than I would think.. I'm no model builder but,I hope maybe to share something. Sorry for focus, but intent is only to show loops..I'll use slit wheel in Drexel to cut ends off. Knife cutting could loosen picks Edited June 2, 2022 by MeandSuzy1 Peanut6 and Dave_E 2 Quote

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 2, 2022 Author #23 Posted June 2, 2022 My plan (har har) is if I get the lights some time .... ya out of states. Canada closed for business back about 1975 I'll put em in then when mid deck is glued I'll put this snug drill bit in lowest hole and slide mast ring down for alignment yvesvidal, GrandpaPhil, mort stoll and 1 other 4 Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 4, 2022 Author #24 Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) I did this mid deck rail. I'll photo a step by this aft or morrow. I figured .75 high would be 36" in reality. Actually, again I followed pretty much on the heels of what LyleK1 did...The 5/8 plywood give me the spacing...This part is anal to get right for first rail as it sets the stage for the other 2 sides. When there's 2 done the 3rd only needs one wee clamp. In top left of second pic you can see the rail lapp joint Edited June 4, 2022 by MeandSuzy1 yvesvidal, Dave_E, allanyed and 1 other 4 Quote

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 7, 2022 Author #27 Posted June 7, 2022 Tried the real lights out today from Evan design. Costly to us canuks but some worth it. When I get further I'll show pics under.

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 11, 2022 Author #28 Posted June 11, 2022 Well in the rain I closed the bulk head today. Just followed the book. No biggie to report. Top peice seems better put together in place. Seems too big to go in after yvesvidal 1 Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 12, 2022 Author #29 Posted June 12, 2022 I had the notion (above) that a way to keep mast holes aligned was size for size drill bits. Maybe an AL expert can chime in. When lining up lower I lost top. Unless these things sailed with a 8 to 10 degree tilt on mast (which I doubt) I ended up having to re-align front and rear. Hope it works. My objective was rib alignment. Hope that flies.pic shows hole moved for rib alignment GrandpaPhil and yvesvidal 2 Quote
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 12, 2022 Author #30 Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) It just occurred as I tried to move a mast ring by reaming. I'll just groove the mast for alignment on install at the lowest hole...so I'll be off 3 or so degrees from perpendicular... NO sweat I guess.... if I remember . Ya I'm probably building just more of a sailing ship, as I'm not real struck on artesianas notion of stuff like cabins and flowers. I want to keep it clean. I find some of the stuff in kit for those 2 areas kinda gorpy looking. Gone on hold as I await some decor I ordered. Will be here as soon as I get going again Edited June 12, 2022 by MeandSuzy1 Quote
