Pete38 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #159 Posted May 19, 2013 Hello everyone!!!!! Seems like a long time since I had anything to post. Returned from my trip, got caught up on my yard work and resumed sanding on my cross section, I wish I was amberdextrious so my left arm would be a big as my right arm from all the sanding I am pretty happy with the way it has turned out and satisfied with the inside fairing...will consider this done. The outside need a little more work on one side and I will consider that done. Here's a few pictures of my progress Will now start sawing out some of the inside planking (limberboards and thickstuff so as to start assembling them fatih79 and isabuncu 2 Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete38 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share #165 Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks Joss Had time to work on it a little this morning so decided to install the Lower Deck Clamps. I am hoping that doing this I will be able to install them at the correct height and if any adjustment is needed will be able to correct width small amounts on different planks for any errors that will creep in. I noticed in the Midship Cross Section Plan that the top of the deck clamp Item#12 was almost flat. So I made some sanding stick in order to get the angle correct. Here I temporary clamp them in place Made up some sanding sticks of sufficient length to fit between the frames with 100 grit paper You can see the angle I need to sand to for proper fit Doing this gave me multiple reference marks along the clamp Mounted them in my small vise and used a 3/8 hand chisel to remove the wast and cleaned up with some 220 sandpaper Temporary put back on cross section to check for level Then glued them in place Once these dry will move on to the next ones isabuncu, Mcdood, fatih79 and 1 other 4 Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete38 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share #168 Posted May 22, 2013 Just a small update...thought I would post how I am marking for my planks....see if anyone out there has a better suggestion than how I am doing it. First take the measurement from the plan Transfer it to the section. making sure to locate point next to keelson in middle of the frame (glue joint as a repeatable reference) Using a 1/4" x 1/4" aluminum angle for a straight edges, should not have any bend or bow to it. After marking each frame, checking measurement down from previous work to make sure have same gap from end to end and side to side And here is where I am at now If anyone has a suggestion please post. I take all type of critizism good and bad.

russ Posted May 22, 2013 Share #169 Posted May 22, 2013 That method will work fine so long as distances you are measuring match up from plan to model. That might not always be the case. I think that measuring the width of each plank might work as well.

Pete38 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share #171 Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Russ, thanks for the reply...so far the plans are matching the model...took several measurements at different places before starting the inside. Also have been cutting each board as need using measurements from the plans and model both. Paddy thanks for the kind words.....most of what I am working out has been worked out by others long before me...I just try to remember and look at notes I take from other logs to apply to mine. I find that if think through the problem in a way that I would have to show and tell someone that has no knowledge of what this is (like myself :mellow: ) I can come closer of doing a descent job on my build. That's why there are so many pictures of each step.

Pete38 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #173 Posted May 24, 2013 I have a question for you all out there. On the limber boards..Please correct me if I have this wrong.... They were about 4 to 5 feet in length and had a notch (or hole) about 1 to 1 1/4 inch dia to aid in their removal..????? Does this sound about right??

Rustyj Posted May 24, 2013 Share #174 Posted May 24, 2013 Hi Pete, Chach_86 Stated the following in his build log and I used the same for mine. Can’t vouch for the accuracy but they looked good. I hope it helps. I had opened a thread a while back in the general discussion about it and came to the conclusion that they would be 3 feet long with openings on either side to pry them out. So scaled down gave me 3/4 inch long sections with half circles drilled out on each end.

Pete38 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #175 Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks Rusty...

Pete38 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #176 Posted May 24, 2013 After the prompt reply from Rusty I started on my limber boards. (Thanks again) This involved quite a bit of trail and error so far...more error than trail I first cut and sanded the boards to the correct thickness and cut them extra wide to have material to play with and marked by eye the angle that I needed. Then set up a wooden fence on the saw so that I could rip close to the fence without doing any damage to anything. Also temporary attached a shim to angle the board to the correct angle. Ran the board down the fence to rip the angle aykutansin and fatih79 2 Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete38 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #177 Posted May 24, 2013 Sorry about that...hit the wrong button. to continue Ended up with an angle like this Here is where the ERROR comes into play Cut the board into length of 3' about 1 1/4" scale. Marked each board and fitted to the cross section. After fitting removed and tried (note I said tried) to drill a 1 1/2" hole in the joints ..about .0350 dia. This did not work out so good...Holes were off centered...did not align up with the board next to them and just generally looked like crap Cut to lenght Looking like !@#%& Unless your a very very very good...do not try it this way fatih79 1 Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete38 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #178 Posted May 24, 2013 !@#%* hit the wrong button again.... stared with a new piece in one length and are (is) fitting this to the gap After I have fitted the board will mark off 3' length and drill a hole a little bit bigger then saw at the joint...Hopefully will work out better. The way thing are going right now..Can not type...hard to concentrate to fit board properly...so will wait until tomorrow to start again and post progress then.
