patrickmil Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share #181 Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks Bob. I was trying for something that I would be able to reuse with other builds down the road. It's pretty basic but it should allow me to adequately measure certain aspects on my hull for a more accurate build.

Guest Tim I. Posted May 13, 2014 Share #182 Posted May 13, 2014 Patrick, I like your jig. The stern and aft supports for the posts is something I have considered for mine, but have never done. Your "Connie" is looking great! Good luck fishing. I went out for the first time last week, but no luck. Those swim baits should get some hits. - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickmil Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share #183 Posted May 13, 2014 Tim, thanks for looking in. It's my first official building slip. I'm sure down the road I'll be adding some 'features' to it as I discover my needs with future builds.

Don't let a little rain stop you from doing some fishing. Here in the Pacific Northwest if we let the rain stop us we would never do any fishing. The fish are wet anyway.

Guest Tim I. Posted May 16, 2014 Share #193 Posted May 16, 2014 Patrick, What cannon will you be using on the gun deck? I believe that the cannons for the gun deck are false cannon. - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickmil Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share #194 Posted May 16, 2014 Al, our rain wasn't just a little rain. I usually avoid water during lightning. Michael, Ben and Popeye, workshop time is just what I needed. While working with some veneer I tried slicing my left index finger off with a utility knife. OUCH!!! So I'm pretty much relegated to the indoors on the orders of my admiral. Tim, I plan on purchasing the cannons from MS for the gundeck. As far as the spar deck, I'm still looking around and weighing my options.

patrickmil Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share #200 Posted May 16, 2014 Guys, thanks for the thoughts. I'm not going to sit and do nothing while my hand heals though. When it happened, I gave it prompt attention by cutting off the blood supply with a rubber band, cleaning it, gluing it closed and wrapping it. This happened on Wednesday night. The cut, despite being 1/4" deep is completely closed up now. And no, I didn't spill any red paint on Connie.

patrickmil Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share #203 Posted May 17, 2014 Joe, in fact, when I glue cuts back together they usually heal better and faster than otherwise. People typically look at me like I'm a crazy person when I explain the history of superglue. Oh well, if they don't believe me. Welcome to my log by the way. Michael, I'm hoping not to Christen my Constitution. I've already done that on past builds and I'm not sure I like cleaning it up too much. I think I might actually have an update with pictures later on. I'm waiting on my keel to dry. jwvolz and augie 2 Quote Thanks, Patrick YouTube Channel for fun: Patrick's Scale Studio Finished: Model Shipways US Brig Niagara Current: I Love Kit USS Curtis Wilbur DDG-54 "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.

MEDDO Posted May 21, 2014 Share #210 Posted May 21, 2014 Interested in seeing the Keel/stern work. I remember that the stern did give me a bit of problem on this kit. I cannot remember what I did to get through it though. I gotta think about getting a building slip myself (so far just using some foam blocks for my ship as they sit upright) Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...
