thanks Kevin......I haven't done much with them as of late. waiting till the weather get a bit warmer, so I can bring them out to the garage for a complete sanding job. they are going to be singular builds, but under the same subject / theme. one of my ideas though might not be as good as I once thought. I at least want them to be practical, so I threw the skating rink idea out. I do have an idea for the third hull, but it doesn't pertain to the subject. if that happens, this project will become a duo, and I'll save the other hull for that purpose. however this turns out, it will still be fun to do. thanks for looking in ;)

I might have agreed with that not being practical until I saw Andy/RealworkingSailor's 1st post in "Maritime adventures" this year... :)

 

Whatever you decide for "trimmings", the hulls are really well-done, realistic indeed.  (If you wanted to stay work-boat themed, you could always go: "Feast of the 7 fishes" ^_^ )  Can't wait to see what you add!

just a small update:    the hull dubbed Curly is in the garage.   it too had gotten it's first major sanding and filler coat.  when it is smooth,  it will also get the rub rails and primer coat.   the one thing I did notice.....is that the Boulogne hull weighs less than the Curly hull does......understandably so.......:D

sitting at my computer......staring at the screen......this 'not knowing what to do next' is killing me. I look over at the tables, to the mess....the reminiscences of where I had left off.....with no breadcrumbs left for me to pick it back up. I decided to pick up a plastic car model to help jump start me....a pro modified drag model of the Jukebox Ford. I got to what I feel is the mid point of the build, and the thoughts began to cloud my mind again. it brought me back to the movie I saw about the boat......I already had a copy of the Billing's plans for it. I went back online to the Billing's site in Danmark {this was quicker than to access the PDF I have of the plans}, and looked up the plans again. I was amazed to find that these plans are different than the ones I have.......two sets of plans??? I down loaded them.

 

the shape of the hull.......the whole concept.......makes it so doable :) taking stock of the situation here:

 

the hull dubbed Moe is in the hallway, the hull planking isn't even finished. this is the one that is made with the real good plywood. it would be a shame to modify this one. to give it a subject name now.....I will christen this one the 'Christmas tree boat' {I'll give it a snappier name later} no pictures for this one of late.

 

the hull dubbed Curly has been residing in the garage since late spring, along with the Boulogne Etaples. the hull has gotten a sanding and a coat of filler....now it waits for the second sanding.

post-612-0-45229200-1409597241_thumb.jpg

 

post-612-0-97531700-1409597253_thumb.jpg

the deck platforms have already been installed....the layout somewhat planned. to give this one a subject name now......I will christen this one 'the Jingle Belle' a caroler's boat. you know......a bunch of carolers on the deck, singing.....getting splashed with sea spray.......should be a hoot of a build :):D this one so far into it's being......nawww.....can't do it to this one either.

 

then there is the hull dubbed Larry. sadly, I can think of no third subject for this hull. I had thought up a skater's rink theme......but a wise sage brought me to my senses. yes.....logic dictates, that you can't skate on a rolling boat, not unless your THAT good ;) the hull is fully planked and has been sanded....it does need a little filler, but the hull is quite smooth the way it stands at the moment. I had planned to remove all the excess raised ribs at the bow and flatten the entire deck out....from the bow to the stern. to do what I need to do, in this new venture, I wouldn't need to do anything like that.......just a nip and tuck at the bow and stern.

 

........and so it came to be, that the hull dubbed Larry, was to undergo some rather aggressive necromancy......origami of the wooden kind. there are three major changes that must occur, for the hull to become a suitable recipient, of such an advantageous build. let the game begin ;)

there is to be an upper bow deck, but it needs to be further back.......say, about one rib. there is to be a bulkhead there, and so I will need to wall it off. the order of the deck platforming will be: the main deck, the bulkhead, and then the fore deck will cap it all off. the main deck will require deck beams I notched the one that will support the bulkhead, and cemented it in place. I still need to do the rest, but not until I alter the stern.

 

post-612-0-89496600-1409600153_thumb.jpg

 

in my planning.....it was quite obvious that the curvature of the stern needed to be flattened out, as well as being notched at the bulkhead line {this little area needs to be flattened as well}. how to do it........how to do it <ponder> I know....I will use the belt sander! out to the garage.....set the belt sander on it's back, locked on......and off I went! I wasn't concerned with the stern transom, as it's getting altered anyway. after some frequent checks......I think it's in the ballpark :)

 

post-612-0-21281300-1409600708_thumb.jpg

 

the bulkhead is to be defined at this point......if you look where the posts are cemented, you can see where I notched the bulwarks. the aim here is to flatten out the bow and make the rise for the bulkhead.....the curve has to go!

 

post-612-0-43164600-1409600888_thumb.jpg

 

here is a shot of the overall bulwark layout.....I left room for a little more sanding. I have to measure the height at the transom to make sure both sides are even.

 

post-612-0-86027300-1409601023_thumb.jpg

 

more posts were added to the bow section. instead of planking these areas, I will make full panels for them.

the start of making the side panels

 

post-612-0-76212500-1409601133_thumb.jpg

 

when the posts were dry, the panels were dry fitted to see what I would need to do next.

post-612-0-13298900-1409601291_thumb.jpg

 

you can see that I also added a second deck beam to the main deck area. the port side bow panel was cut to shape......the height of the bulkhead post, tapered to around 4mm at the bow stem. this will leave a very slight up sweep to the bow....it will hardly be noticeable. this was mimicked on the starboard side panel, which was left a tad longer, to lap over the port side and create the tip of the bow. I need to make a jig for the tip of the bow, to hold the two panels together when I cement them in place.

the jig was quite simple really.......two pieces of planking, CA'd together length-wise, with a piece of square stock cemented in one end as a pressure point. the port side panel was cemented in place. the jig did it's job splendidly!

post-612-0-30587900-1409602117_thumb.jpg

 

this was allowed to dry before the starboard side panel was cemented in place. the starboard side was fitted and glued in place.......the jig held the panels down just as I wanted it to. it left hardly a gap there at all ;)

jeepers! looking through the clamps, you can get a good idea of how flat the bow has become. there was a minor cut to my left thumb......the blood on the starboard panel is mine....not Larry's. even the admiral looked at it......she said....."you'll live!" I had to wait for all this to dry, so I could remove the clamps and take these last pictures. the Boulogne was kind enough to stand in for me, so I can show you the transformation that has taken place so far.

WOW, I really like that jig for clamping the bulwarks at the stem. That is SUCH a hard place to clamp. NICE!

 

Nice to see sawdust again, but what happened to the Jukebox Ford? Is it now in limbo due to your necromancy. :dancetl6:

 

I think I just got chill bumps thinking just how weirdly great this all will get as it progresses.

Denis, bravo!! great to see that a trip into the world of man made materials has brought you back to the world of organic ones. Lovely work on Larry, and like Keith said (or words to that effect) the bow clamp is inspired.

 

Looking forward to more updates now that you are carving the organics again... but be careful with the soft stuff on the ends of your arms.

thanks Keith.......the bow is probably the worst place to clamp.  I don't know how many time,  clamps came flying off of there on some of my other builds :D

 

I'm doing the Jukebox for another site......I keep promising them I'd do a plastic build.   not too many wood builders on there.   here is an example of the work I'm doing on it.

I haven't done one of these in sooooo long......currently working on it as well.

 

I have more progress to show,  but my computer went down.  I ended up having to dump XP,  and am now running Vista.   I'm in the process of getting all my stuff back in order........the ability to post pictures is one of them.   I see I'll have to get used to the new function ;)    I'm going to HAVE to print these plans........all the while I was doing what I did,  I couldn't look at them,  because they were in......you guessed it........my computer.   so I went from memory....I think I did OK though.

 

chills........from what?......the ripping......sawing......and cutting?   it's good that I only need to do this in the beginning phases.  why,  when I get done,  you won't even know the boat  :)...........or....maybe,  you will   ;){devil's horns starting to show}

I will Michael......and thanks!   I did get a tiny reminder.........but it was quite superficial......and minor.   well.........I guess the longer I linger here........the longer it will be before you all see the progress!   off I go.........to learn more about Vista {wish I could throw some necromantic arts at this computer....grrrrr}
