mtaylor Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share #1564 Posted February 15, 2016 Nothing works like elbow grease Mark. Nice work. I'm becoming super envious of the laser cutter though. How long til Father's day when I can make up an excuse to buy something else? Heh A little elbow grease, a little sand paper... Yep.. have that in abundance. The cutters are a good tool but I find that I still need the other tools also. I think I need some sessions with Dr. Per. I'm looking forward to seeing that taff-rail decoration (made with your DeathStar) really pop once a bit of paint has been added !! Well.. no go on the decorations from the Deathstar. What needs to fit is pretty darn small but I have some ideas that might work... <fingers crossed> As for paint... G'day Mark It's look good to me! Love the windows and the carving. With your new toy, you are getting too fussy, and I guess I would be the same. Havagooday mate Greg I was fussy before I started this and well before I got the Deathstar.

mtaylor Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share #1568 Posted February 26, 2016 A minor update, model wise. A biggie for me. The stern is more or less complete. It still needs the carvings and the taffrail needs the finials but those are in-work and may be that way for some time as I move on to other things. I carve while waiting for glue to dry, etc. I was playing with the camera and some settings... here's the inboard side of the stern unplanked and then planked in silver maple. I'm using the maple where things would have been white-washed. The planked version also shows part of the taffrail installed. From the outboard side with part taffrail installed. This is the two other pieces of the taffrail on the scroll saw using the ScrollSander to clean off the laser char and finesse the fit. The final finessing was using a file and sanding sticks. And with the full taffrail installed. It needs a bit of cleanup and some wipe-on poly, but I'll that when get the carvings ready. The quarter galleries need to be built also before finishing. It's a bit off (about 1mm on the port side) but I'll live with it. All in all, I'm pretty chuffed about this as it was a big learning curve. I wanted the joinery perfect.. not quite there yet but to my eye, it looks good. Next up is the rudder while I sort out the quarter galleries. These have a bit of unusual shape in that they curve out past the stern and then back to the hull, like a half circle only not... Hard to explain but I'm researching and sorting it out.

mtaylor Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share #1585 Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the "likes" and the comments. The stern looks splendid Mark. Getting the rest of that taffrail closed up sets her off and gives it that "almost" done feel! I quite agree George. The big carving will finish it off, although I'm still thinking about the other things that are not clear on the drawings. This was just a simple 8-pd frigate. I'm either going to do an acanthus leaf "thingie" on the lower part of the taffrail or maybe a vine type of thing. Leaving it plain has a certain appeal also...

I wasn't too sure how it was going to come out. If not for some some advice in the background on some issues it probably would have not been a pretty sight. That looks awesome Mark, take a bow.How does silver maple compare to white maple, I have never worked with it I've not worked with any other maple at this point, Sam. It seems to work about the same as boxwood, maybe pear. It's hard but does take a bend with a little persuasion. It seems to take an edge well and it's almost as white (and a lot cheaper) than holly. Very nicely done Mark. You've got a very nice looking rear end! I do?

What is a kit? Some wood, some string, some plans, and some usually very bad instructions unless it's one of new ones*. In this case, you source the plans, the wood, etc. It's not overwhelming if you just think of it as a series of steps. I actually wrote down a series of steps/mileposts before I began. Well, that list has expanded and things moved around a bit. But that works. Thanks for the complement. My goal is to build this one the best I can and the next one will be even better. *I do hear good things about the instructions written by Chuck, Dusek, and Maristella. I hope other companies will pay attention.
