Don Quixote Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share #241 Posted May 13, 2016 If I'm understanding correctly then, we're right? I see only the side view I posted and a top view that shows the netting. Is there another place I'm not seeing? I'm not doing the netting. I think it looks over crowded. Thanks, guys!

jbshan Posted May 13, 2016 Share #243 Posted May 13, 2016 Hull's built, spars not, other stuff got in the way, but I have the plans easily accessible. Dumb sheave and holes in dolphin striker shown on sheet #4 Use a ruler to track lines as they weave their way through. Notes pointing to lines help too. T'gallant stay is starboard, flying jib stay is on port, blocks etc. are the same. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Joel Sanborn http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9953-lexington-by-jbshan-dlumberyard-164-from-the-seaways-practicum-by-clay-feldman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Quixote Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share #245 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) LOL! Nah, man... Just don't do anything I do and you'll be fine. Seriously though. You don't "have" to go through it. You "get" to! I wear tri-foculs and even those are only okay... Thanks for looking in. You're already doing a great job. I was designed for wrenches and ratchets, not hammers and saws. For me it's all about the bloody mary, the rock and roll and the solitude. I used to be into plastic models and railroading. I got plastic models down to such a science that I can build one detailed rod in a couple days. No room for railroading and I always have loved tall ships so... I'm calling this a scratch build. I stare at the plans and scratch my ***. I'm not worried about authenticity or anything, I just want to know how to plank and strop and seize and all that. Next one will look better and probably take half as long. That model is about 17 years old. Only took a week. She's getting dusty and falling apart. See the exhaust pipe came loose? Wood. SERIOUS challenge for me. And lovin' every minute of it. Hey, join us in Shore leave. What have you done today and them old jokes. And others that are great too.

mtaylor Posted May 14, 2016 Share #248 Posted May 14, 2016 The topgallant stay comes down from the mast, through the dumb sheave in the jibboom, which is a slot in the end of the jibboom, on another sheet of the plans, through a hole in the dolphin striker, to a block, part of the tackle that hooks to the eyebolt on the hull. The fall of the tackle is belayed inboard. You sometimes have to go to more than one sheet of the plans to get all the info needed. Mark, not disparaging your post, I have the plans for Niagara for reference. Ah.. no problem. I made a best guess on the info... I'm glad they've got more than one sheet for the rigging otherwise I'd think it was an AL kit.

Don Quixote Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share #250 Posted May 19, 2016 As you can see in the picture, I need an "elongated" hole to accommodate the deadeye hooks. I've ruined several pcs of scrap wood trying to make them with my drill press. I have a jewelers press (mfg unknown) that will hold any bit I've tried so far and a Microlux X-Y table as well as a... ah, heck, here's a picture:) The jaws will not accommodate the top and even if they did they'd probably crush it. I simply cannot get several holes to line up straight. I'm thinking an x-acto knife aint gonna cut it. Pardon the pun. Ideas?

mikiek Posted May 20, 2016 Share #252 Posted May 20, 2016 I drilled 2 holes close to each other and then carved out what was in between them. Another option (and I did this as well) notch the edge of the top where a deadeye should go. After you get them in place glue a blackened brass strip around the top to close the notch. This is similar to how some folks do channels and chainstays. Page 7 of my log has a few pix. Canute, Don Quixote and mtaylor 3 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

Don Quixote Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share #253 Posted May 20, 2016 What's really sad? I have a shortcut to your build as a tab at the top of my browser and forgot to check it. LOVE the way you did your deadeyes. Wish I'd thought of that. I WILL remember that when I do the rest. I like the idea of notching that out like you say. That's what I'll do.

mikiek Posted May 21, 2016 Share #254 Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks Brian. If you do notch, you should decide what you will use to close it up once the deadeyes are in place.

mikiek Posted June 5, 2016 Share #257 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) The mast surface where the cheeks will be glued is square at that point. You can make that angle almost anything you want and just sand the cheek edge flush . Don't forget the masts are raked. I believe the cheek angle is done so that the tops will be level instead of taking on the angle of the rake. Pardon the cobwebs the masts have been sitting on a stand for months now.

mikiek Posted June 5, 2016 Share #259 Posted June 5, 2016 Ehh - not a big deal. If I recall I just put the masts in the boat, squared them off and then eyeballed the cheeks.. If your tops are done, you can set them on the cheeks to verify. Use white glue to glue the cheeks and wait a minute or so. By then you won't have to hold them but can still slide them around if you need to. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?
