MEDDO Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share #63 Posted May 6, 2014 Michael, the stern and transom framing looks outstanding!!! Great work so far. Thanks I have learned so much even doing this "simple" kit version. Some great progress there Michael. I'll bet you're looking forward to releasing her from the jig! Releasing from the jig is going to be a huge milestone. Getting the wales and some planking on there is going to strengthen the structure so much. I will also have enough space to fair the insides a bit. Looking really good Michael. Bob Thanks! Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share #66 Posted May 10, 2014 The next step was a hard one. Adding the wales. I found out that I did not leave a large enough rabbit at the bow to put the end of the wale plank into. I had to carve out a small notch to be able to get the wale in place. With a bit of soaking in water and then steaming in my kettle I was able to form the bend of the wale. So I think I found the "wall side" and the "room side" of the model. Not a bad first attempt.

MEDDO Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share #72 Posted May 10, 2014 Forget the wall/room side of things. It's looking great all around Michael! Thanks! I think the starboard wale has a kinda sharp bend in it. It is not too noticeable and will be able to smoothed out a bit when planking. Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

After looking at all the builds here it still amazes me that some of these things are made if wood. The clean neat edges and perfect sanding are definately something to aspire to.

MEDDO Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share #88 Posted May 19, 2014 Getting back in the shipyard. Starting to plank the side. Needed to bend the planks so after soaking in a glass of water for a 20 or so minutes I gently bent the planks and then clamped them on this container 2 at a time. Laying the first plank and gluing/clamping. So it is much more noticeable now that I have the first plank layer, that the wale and the planks are not quite horizontal to the waterline. They kinda point up right at the bow. I am going to try to lessen this with a bit of plank narrowing by sanding on each of the next 4 planks.

patrickmil Posted May 20, 2014 Share #89 Posted May 20, 2014 The planking is looking great so far Michael. Planking is one of my favorite parts of a build.

MEDDO Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share #90 Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks Patrick. I always have a bit of trouble with planking because no matter how careful I am, it always seems to stair step a bit on me. But I guess that is what sand paper is for eh? Will try to get some of the sanding done tonight. Blue Ensign, Elmer Cornish, fnkershner and 3 others 6 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...
