flying_dutchman2 Posted August 29, 2017 Author #128 Posted August 29, 2017 Finished the sanding the hull. Created templates for both the top of the deck and the top rail using the thick vinyl backing I salvaged from the old Samsung TV. That material sure comes in handy. Throughout this build I have been making lots of templates by xeroxing items from the plans and glueing them on the vinyl. mtaylor, Jack12477, Geoff Matson and 5 others 8 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 6, 2017 Author #129 Posted September 6, 2017 Faired the hull and did the final sanding. Made a radical decision by removing everything at deck height.

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 7, 2017 Author #130 Posted September 7, 2017 Forming the lower wales (one can never have enough clamps). The wales are two pieces of basswood strips. These will be glued together and painted black. I am still researching paints. The paint mentioned in McArdle's book is incomplete. Presently not everything is available and I was hoping angelfather, he is building the Utrecht as well, was going to list his colors on his build. So until then, I will be making all the parts until I have the paint colors. I thought curving the blunt bow was going to be difficult, but it wasn't.

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 12, 2017 Author #132 Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for all the likes. After sanding and resanding the boat I am now doing the first layer of planking. Starting from the keel and at the same time the edge where it goes straight up. Laying the planks naturally without forcing them in curves. Makes for a lot of cutting as they lay over the next plank. The bluff bow is an exercise in extreme curves. I'll do more of this with future Dutch Ships. First the wet planks are shaped and pinned with stainless steel pins. Once dry, the planks are glued to the hull, fastened with toothpicks dipped in glue a the toothpicks are hammered in the hull.

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 19, 2017 Author #133 Posted September 19, 2017 For a change of pace I created the wales. Made 8 of them and will pick the best ones. Due to the extreme curve of the bow I used one strip of wood to cover the whole boat. Two on each side resulted in a crooked piece of wood. Using one long strip of wood resulted in a nice curve that fits over the bow. Also, made the 2 skylights. Still need a roof and painted. Paint I will get in the next week or two. Note for Carl (cog) . My wife requested I built the windmill this winter. So I will do that. I have plans for a garden windmill (polder molen) which is a replica of one that is located in Amsterdam and my dad worked there as an accountant after he retired from the Dutch foreign service. I emailed the plans to Carl. Marcus mtaylor, Piet, YankeeD and 5 others 8 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 20, 2017 Author #136 Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks for all the likes. The skylights turned out well. Since I got the micromark table saw I have been cutting all kinds of wood and in many sizes. It is a great tool. I have also been working with those drill bits I showed a while back. Broke a few. Just like Kees de Mol said, they break like glass. If you don't drill exactly straight, they break. I drilled itty-bitty holes in the brass flat rods. I am using insect pins that I used in my past college days. Marcus YankeeD, Piet, Seventynet and 5 others 8 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

All you need is create the internals and you have a fully operational windmill and you can grind some grain. In Holland, Michigan there is a completely working grain mill. They bought it in the Netherlands, took it apart piece by piece, shipped it, and put it back together.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 3, 2017 Author #144 Posted October 3, 2017 Re sanded the keel area. Wasn't curved enough and took about 10 millimeters away (yes, that is a lot) and looks much better now. Furthermore, created the deck beams with a curve and they are dry fitted. The little area of scrap wood is where the steps come down. Once steps are in place and you look into the area of the hull, I want it to look neat. I may just add a mirror with furniture.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 5, 2017 Author #145 Posted October 5, 2017 Created the lower and upper wales a while back and painted the top pieces black. I had some acrylics from past projects. The paint is Mars black #1200-2 series 1 from Golden acrylics. They will each be in two layers to build up the thickness. Upper wale is 4mm, lower wale is 6mm and the space between them is 8mm wide. Created a 'wale template' by laminating 2 pieces of walnut strips of 5mm thick and 8mm wide. Glued the first layer of both wales to the hull, put the template between them and lamented the second layer of the lower wale on top of the first layer. It is a bear to bend them without breaking them. On one side at the bow there is a small gap between the hull and the wale which I will fix. I am overall happy with all of the results. I have made lots of mistakes in the process and have learned from it by redoing it.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 5, 2017 Author #146 Posted October 5, 2017 While the lower wale was drying, worked on the Stern window frames. It is created from 1mm square dowel. Glued the second layer of the top wale. Very frustrating. Broke two of them trying to make it fit in the bow. Where the stem goes there is 15 mm missing. Once all dry a piece will be fitted, sanded and painted and I hope it is not that obvious. I made many wales just in case I broke some. cog, EdT, Geoff Matson and 5 others 8 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

I love this acrylic paint from Gordon. Goes on thick and with a brush, I can spread it without streaks. I am to the point where I need to get more colors.
