augie Posted January 20, 2014 Author #789 Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks all. I'll get some stem and stern shots once I complete the first belt on the starboard side. Yes, the spiling/edge bending jig is in full operation since about the 6th plank below the wales. It works well once you get the hang of it. That's not to say that everything has gone by without some gnashing of the teeth! We won Sjors. But the game was about as exciting as watching grass grow.

augie Posted January 21, 2014 Author #795 Posted January 21, 2014 I've received several PM's on how the spiling/edge bending jig I presented is working at the bow. In response, I've taken a few photos that I'll present here. Let me state that this is not to be taken as a tutorial . It is simply how I do it. You should remember what our bent/spiled planks look like after drying in the jig detailed by Chuck: The forward tip of the plank is beveled to fit securely into the rabbet. Then, the tip and about 3/8" of the side of the plank contacting the adjacent plank above it are glued securely in place. It needs to be completely dry and tight as it will take some stress in establishing the bow curve of the plank. I use thick CA to do this as it is strong and easy to control: A different view just to show how unusual it looks at this point. The blue tape is just there to protect the finished wale: The loose end of the plank is now gently bowed and lightly twisted into position and glued flat to the bulkheads. Notice that the tendency to lift at the lower edge has been defeated: Finally, the plank is glued to the remaining bulkheads: Granted there are some irregularities but these should be mostly eliminated with careful sanding. Laying this plank took about 15 minutes (not including the spiling/bending/drying time). Overall, I'm pleased with the technique. Hope this explains it!

realworkingsailor Posted January 21, 2014 #798 Posted January 21, 2014 That looks really sweet. And a good explanation on how you install the bent planks. It may not be a tutorial, but I'm sure many will find this information useful. Andy augie 1 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy
Chuck Posted January 21, 2014 #799 Posted January 21, 2014 Thats exactly how I do it. Wonderful explanation. The one thing I might add is that the twisting can be put into the plank ahead of time as well. I usually dip the plank in some water for about 5 seconds. Then clamp the bow end of the plank to the table. Twist the plank carefully as to not change or remove the edge bending. Heat it up with a hair dryer on the hottest setting. This will lock in the twist. You can shape the plank so it will fit perfectly without any coaxing required to put it into place. Chuck Well done Augie.

popeye the sailor Posted January 21, 2014 #802 Posted January 21, 2014 looks very nice Augie.......do you bevel the edge, so it will butt up along the plank line? darn nice I've been fastening them while they are still damp.....I'm impatient that way I haven't had any problems with shrinkage.......probably because of the wood I'm using. I'm sure that different wood behave differently when wet. very nice job there.........doesn't look like too huge of a sanding job afterwards augie 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

augie Posted January 25, 2014 Author #807 Posted January 25, 2014 Just a quick update. The first belt of planking below the wales has been completed P/S. Not bad so far and hopefully sanding will bring everything in line. There will be a molding running across where the counter meets the planks in the stern. Open framework amidships is starting to look nice! Moving on now to the lower most belt starting with the garboard plank and heading up. Holding off on stealers and drop planks until the final belt. Will be trying some 3/16" planks, tapered, for the stern (everything else is 1/8).
