wefalck Posted January 16 Share #61 Posted January 16 What kind of belt-sander is it? mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok Posted January 16 Author Share #62 Posted January 16 This one: It's relatively small, handy and has a small dustbin to the rear. The only downside is its noise, but you can counter it with even basic ear protection. mtaylor, Ryland Craze and wefalck 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted January 16 Share #63 Posted January 16 Ah, thought I thought it might have been the small PROXXON one ... mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok Posted January 16 Author Share #64 Posted January 16 Proxxon would have been nice, but the Black&Decker did only cost less than a third (rather a quarter) as much as the Proxxon-equivalent. I was limited by the budget of the person, who wanted to give me this present after all. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted January 19 Share #66 Posted January 19 The PROXXON is a lot smaller, I believe. mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok Posted January 22 Author Share #67 Posted January 22 The Proxxon is smaller, indeed, but not by THAT much. The B&D's measurements are 19,6 x 45,4 x 14,4 cm; 1,2 Kilogramm, compared to 19,3 x 33 x 11,2 cm; 0,9 Kilogramm (both according to amazon). Yes, it's a thrid shorter shorter overall, but it's only 300 gramm lighter. Now for something completely different: Another bit of progress was made today GrandpaPhil, wefalck, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok Posted January 26 Author Share #68 Posted January 26 The first planking is done. The next planking will be the main deck and then the passengers cabin. JacquesCousteau, Meriadoc Brandybuck, CiscoH and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok Posted January 28 Author Share #69 Posted January 28 I just realized that I will need to tear out the main deck again. Its planks are 1mm thick and as you can see, the windowsills of the passenger's cabin sit visibly less than one 1mm above the main deck. Fortunately, I have another template already printed out.

Strelok Posted February 23 Author Share #70 Posted February 23 Hey some good progress has been made again. Mast, bowsprit, gaff and gaff sail boom are done. When I made the gaff sail boom, I made a small oopsie and had a little heart attack: I broke the "fork" that goes to the mast (Klaue in german), but I was able to repair it. The only hint that this happened is that the fork connects to the gaff sail boom in a slight angle. I'm fine with that, though. Here you can see the gaff, gaff sail boom and bowsprit painted and with all clamps, blocks and dead eyes attached I close my update with a picture of the current status of the hull. The mast is not yet glued in place. JacquesCousteau, Chuck, CiscoH and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
