TBlack Posted June 21 #62 Posted June 21 As I’ve mentioned before, Toni’s explanations are complete and easy to follow. But there’s more: she has also instructed us in the correct terms for the various parts. Thank you, Toni! robert952, ferretmary1, rcweir and 5 others 8 Quote

MDZ Posted July 20 #70 Posted July 20 Great project. I am a newbi (did 3 models ) I purchased the rigging project and started to make the hull. I could not get evenly sized planks for deck and exterior. For the exterior I used 1/16 by 1/4 planks had and for the deck, I made a jig with bras(1/4 inch sq tubing and 1/4 flat) to hold and cult the 1/16 sheet stock. The I cound not makr the channels by gluing (3) 1/6 sheets together ( they would not stay together so I used a painters stirr stck and a 1/16 flst stock to make the channel. The pins were a good idea. I was looking to see if someone could suggest a better way to cut planks evenly. The hull is being taped and stained (see pic) and also a pic of the jig i made. robert952 and Canute 2 Quote
ferretmary1 Posted July 20 #71 Posted July 20 Toni is at the IPMS conference in Wisconsin this weekend. I'll make sure she sees your question when she gets back. We have a saw jig that is available, but if you are cutting the wood manually, toni would probably have some better suggestions than I can offer. Mary robert952 and Canute 2 Quote Mary Van Dahm
tlevine Posted July 25 Author #72 Posted July 25 Although I cut my planks on a table saw, these planks can easily be cut by using a straight edge (aka steel ruler) and an Exacto knife. It isn't critical to have these planks exactly the same width.

MDZ Posted August 7 #74 Posted August 7 Are there videos or step by step instructions on the cross sizing and round sizing. Are there any tools to do these. ? Canute and robert952 2 Quote

You can try also making a stub mast on a spare flat piece of wood and practice the sizing that way. Archjofo has very good pictures how he does sizing with descriptive articles as well.
