capnharv2 Posted July 4, 2014 #339 Posted July 4, 2014 Happy Birthday Mark! Isn't it nice to have the whole country celebrate your Birthday? mtaylor 1 Quote
mtaylor Posted July 5, 2014 Author #340 Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It's been good day, but no workshop time. There's uh... issues. Like I've broke 5 frames and need to make 5 new blanks and re-cut them. So rather than be aggrevated, I'm just having a pleasant day and reading logs and hanging out on MSW is part of the pleasantness. Oh.. did I mention, no birthday cake. Homemade, deep-dish apple pie is cooling in the kitchen... Happy Birthday Mark - hope you received lots of modelling goodies for presents. No modeling goodies, Grant. I'm not sure what else I can pack into my workshop. Maybe some rigging spiders and planking elves? Happy Birthday Mark, if it's a modelling day may you achieve a warm feeling of satisfaction from your efforts B.E. B.E., even in my grumbling about broken frames, there's a satisfaction. What a great date to have been born on Mark. I think we should all have a cookout and drink lots of beer and shoot off some fireworks in your honor.God bless you and America.Dave Hang on Dave... I think any excuse for BBQ, beer, fireworks, and apple pie should work. Shouldn't it? Don't wait me to get older. As I sing Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuu dogs whine, kids cry and glass breaks. Good thing you can't hear it! Have a great Birthday Mark! So that's what happened??? I was wondering about the dog and the windows.... :D Hey Mark, I thought I was the only one that they fire off fireworks on my Birthday. Mine on 3rd, yours on 4th....cool.

mtaylor Posted July 10, 2014 Author #349 Posted July 10, 2014 Minor milepost... all the full frames have been cut, installed and spacers added. The five broken ones have been replaced along with slapping myself upside the head when I realized two of them could have been repaired. I've started "pre-fairing" in that I'll sand it pretty close to fair except for the frames at the end, get the keel and keelson notches flat and fair, and then tweek the keel's rabbet to account for the changes the garboard strake will have to follow. I'm also sorting out the inboard side as far as fairing. The end frames will be faired in once the keel and keelson are installed and the cant frames are done. And yes, it continues to be a fun ride. tlevine, DORIS, Piet and 34 others 37 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)

mtaylor Posted July 10, 2014 Author #359 Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks again for the comments and likes. I guess I ought to explain what happened on the broken frames. To make the gunport, the red area has to be removed. Actually, slightly more that that. The ports are currently 8mm wide and they need to be 9mm wide. The frames are 3/16" (about 4.5mm) wide and approximately 1/8" (3mm) thick at the gunport area. The markings on the frames are for the wales and the cutline. All markings were done before the frame was installed. Hahn installs his frames and spacers and then cuts and removes the waste (red area). How he removed that block, I have no idea. What I did, was make the cuts at top and bottom. Then apply alcohol to the port area, wrap in a soaked paper towel scraplet and then plastic wrap and let it sit. The glue softens and also, so does the wood. When I pulled the waste out, on 3 pieces, the frame broke in the area of the green arrow. On two of them, it was in the area of the blue arrow, which I've since tested, could have been repaired. themadchemist, SawdustDave, Erebus and Terror and 7 others 10 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
