pete48 Posted December 12, 2013 Author #33 Posted December 12, 2013 On Keel 3 I took some strips that I had stained a few days ago, I soaked them in rubbing alcohol (about 30 minutes) and bent in Ribs between the frames. They have not been glued yet.

themadchemist Posted December 12, 2013 #34 Posted December 12, 2013 Wow didn't realize your moved over to scratch build with keel 3 and 4. Beautiful work, and some nice engineering on the center board and rudder. I'm with Russ on that sheer line. This boat has so much character. Have you considered changing scale and building a monster 1:12. That would be a really nice display and would help in detailing. Whatever you do, its good to see your having fun and I cant wait to see what next. pete48 1 Quote
capnharv2 Posted December 12, 2013 #35 Posted December 12, 2013 I love the frames Pete. Have you looked for the actual frame dimensions and spacing? pete48 1 Quote
pete48 Posted December 12, 2013 Author #36 Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks Keith, Originally I was thinking of a bigger scale , I then decided to build the boat I've always wanted (The Herreshoff Buzzards Bay) and build it in a 3/4" = 1'- 0" Scale so that if I choose I could take it for a sail. ( I will be building a display version with all bent frames) HI Harv, The frames are not to scale (about a 1/16" to large) the spacing in the cockpit is correct(Chapelle Drawing) (I still have to glue them in so at least the rib spacing will be accurate) Edited December 12, 2013 by pete48 capnharv2 1 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/
pete48 Posted December 13, 2013 Author #37 Posted December 13, 2013 This Morning has been exciting so far, as I am setting up the Frames on Keel 4 , I thought I would show some pics before I glue it together . I always set my base level to the waterline, That way all the frames are plumb to the waterline.

pete48 Posted December 17, 2013 Author #46 Posted December 17, 2013 My Internet was down last night, so here is the progress that was made on Keel 4 , all the frames have been Faired and is now ready for planking, On this one I am going to use 1/8" strips for planking ( I used 1/4 " on the previous builds) I am happy with the results thus far on Keel 4.

pete48 Posted December 19, 2013 Author #47 Posted December 19, 2013 As the Holidays approach , the build time becomes less time. On Keel # 3 I installed the deck and trimmed the excess wood off the transom ,I then Installed my make shift rudder and tiller to make sure all is functioning properly, ( It does) and that tiller and rudder can be easily installed and removed from the boat . (also works well)I also cut out for the companion way hatch so you can now see the figured Birch on frame 1.
