Trussben Posted August 16, 2014 Author #215 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks Alan, Druxey and Mark,I'm embarrassed to say that this was indeed V1.0, it worked out pretty well! Proberbly more luck than skill.I just followed TFFM on how to make it, broke it down into the steps described by David and on the last step of getting the chock side angles I just took my time taking tiny slivers off each side until I found the angle to match.I wish the damn hawse timbers had been as straitforward!Ben Edited August 19, 2014 by Trussben Remcohe, billocrates, druxey and 1 other 4 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted August 16, 2014 Author #219 Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks Guys! But like I say, I just followed TFFM and was proberbly very lucky!

dvm27 Posted August 17, 2014 #222 Posted August 17, 2014 I agree with Druxey that nailing that cross-chock the first time around is indeed impressive.

tlevine Posted August 18, 2014 #224 Posted August 18, 2014 Great work on the chock. This entire build is full of "I thought that would be harder" and "That was easier than it should have been". Be careful of the latter because half the time that means it wasn't done correctly (voice of experience).

Trussben Posted August 19, 2014 Author #225 Posted August 19, 2014 This entire build is full of "I thought that would be harder" and "That was easier than it should have been" I'm not sure you are reading my log Toni, maybe Remco's! :P My log is full of "Had to remake this again" or "Thanks Druxey, I shall pull that part out and re-position again".

dvm27 Posted August 24, 2014 #231 Posted August 24, 2014 Excellent work, Ben. You may wish to fabricate and temporarily fit frames L fore and 14 aft before raising those last cants. In a perfect world, your cant frames will fair right into the first full frames. Having those full frames ready as reference will show you how you have done. I must admit having to rework one cant and full frame to make a smooth flow after beveling. I suspect I had made an error transferring the half-breadth to the building board.

Trussben Posted August 24, 2014 Author #232 Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Michael and Augie. Greg - I took your advice on the aft cants and installed 14aft, I am going to do the same up front with the forward gunport framing. Ben billocrates 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted September 1, 2014 Author #234 Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks Grant. And after making both L fore and L aft square frames I found that the cant frames 11 and 12 were not correct and did not give a nice line for fairing up, so they were removed and new ones are being made now.
