palmerit Posted Monday at 04:12 AM #1 Posted Monday at 04:12 AM To make progress on my Pram and Sherbourne, I needed a small miter box (to cut copper tube for the Pram, to cut masts for the Sherbourne). It came in but it turned out the narrow saw I had would not work with the miter box, so I had to order another saw. While I ordered the saw on Amazon and have Amazon Prime, it'll be another week or so before the saw arrives. While waiting, I decided to start on the Lobster Smack, the third kit in the Model Shipwright Series. robert952 and JacquesCousteau 2 Quote Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways) In the Queue: Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Endeavour (Occre), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG)

palmerit Posted Monday at 05:42 AM Author #3 Posted Monday at 05:42 AM The central spine of the boat is composed of several pieces that need to be glued and clamped together. There is an option to have the centerboard moveable (up and down) but I chose to keep it stationary (glued in place).

palmerit Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM Author #4 Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM (edited) After clipping the spine overnight, it had a pronounced bend. I wetted down both sides (just bushed with water) and then placed a heavy book (wrapped in plastic wrap) on it. Tonight, when I removed the book, it was fairly flat and straight.

palmerit Posted yesterday at 02:15 AM Author #5 Posted yesterday at 02:15 AM Adding reinforcing pieces. Never enough variety or number of clamps and clips. druxey and JacquesCousteau 2 Quote Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways) In the Queue: Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Endeavour (Occre), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG)
palmerit Posted yesterday at 03:25 AM Author #6 Posted yesterday at 03:25 AM Thankfully I saw this in the @Bryan Woods build. I was very confused.
