michael mott Posted November 14, 2015 Author #1206 Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments and other feedback. I made a start on the hinges, they are cut from .010" brass sheet. scales out to roughly .078 which is 14 gauge sheet. which seems reasonable enough. the strip was annealed by heating to red and then quenching in water, I could have let it cool down on its own and would have the same result. then it was folded over on itself in the milling vice with a length of .032" steel rod to support the rounded portion after the fold was nearly complete I set the folded metal so that as the vice squeezed the brass it pushed the steel rod upwards to form the full round, similar to what we do when we wrap a piece of paper around a dowel and then pinch it to become tight our finger slide a little as the paper closes together. A couple of pieces were cut off using the jewelers saw with a #7 blade the finest I have. The notches were filed out with needle files with some brass .032 rod inside as support. next I used the jewelers saw to cut off the folded flap close to the rounded portion, in order to lessen the flex of the blade I shortened the throat of the saw to approx 3 inches. Once all the rest are cut and assembled I will use the drill press to drill and countersink the holes. Just 7 more to go. Gee the close ups are brutal they show every flaw. The pieces were assembled and then squared up with a 6 inch #4 flat file Michael JerryTodd, tkay11, shipmodel and 32 others 35 Quote Current builds Bristol Pilot Cutter 1:8; Skipjack 19 foot Launch 1:8; Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 1:8 Other projects Pilot Cutter 1:500 ; Maria, 1:2 Now just a memory Future model Gill Smith Catboat Pauline 1:8 Finished projects A Bassett Lowke steamship Albertic 1:100 Anything you can imagine is possible, when you put your mind to it.

shipmodel Posted November 16, 2015 #1210 Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Michael - Really nice hinges. I used a similar method to make working hinges for the companionway door of a yacht America model some time ago. I do not have your skill with a jeweler's saw, so I used a length of soft iron wire inside to form the hinge barrels, and then cut straight through the whole thing with a metal cutting blade in the Preac. I think they came out pretty well.

The recent file organization has been completed and during the process I was able to fix a few photo issues in some of the early posts, a couple of links have gone AWOL (the nature of the net it seems). This evening I continued the work on the skylight. The frame material has been roughed out for all four lights. these are the 3rd and 4th sets IMG_7310x800.jpg This is the second frame glued up. IMG_7308x800.jpg and some in situ shots. IMG_7316x800.jpg IMG_7318x1024.jpg IMG_7322x1024.jpg Once all the frames are assembled I will make a few more hinges the same way as the ones for the cabin doors, I will also add the wooden bars with the horizontal metal bars to protect the glass (lexan).

Julie Mo Posted November 18, 2015 #1215 Posted November 18, 2015 Michael, Your build reminds me of an article I saw in Sail or Cruising World or some other sailing magazine from several years ago. It was about a man who built beautiful Bristol Channel cutters, in the range of plus or minus 30', by himself. It was both fascinating and educational how he managed to do this. When I saw your build, it brought me right back there. I only wish I could remember his name because I believe you two are cut from the same beautiful cloth. mtaylor, Omega1234, michael mott and 3 others 6 Quote Julie First and only build: Endeavour - 1934 American's Cup, UK Challenger, J-Class - Amati 1:35

BenF89 Posted November 20, 2015 #1217 Posted November 20, 2015 Hello Michael! I echo all the sentiments about the detail and quality of your project! Very impressive. I also couldn't help thinking that you could take some of the photos, especially the ones taken in 'third person' so to speak, combined with a bunch of the black and white close ups, and make a coffee table picture book! The artistry of many of the photos is as compelling as their subject matter. Very, very nice work.

michael mott Posted November 24, 2015 Author #1228 Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks for all the likes and concerns for Judy, it will take a while but I'm confident all will work out well. Been a long week, but it is snowing and the roads are bad so since I had to stay home today I did manage to work a little on the hinges, picking up where I left off on Tuesday. Feels like I'm using up way too many electrons to show 32 holes in a few bits of brass. But here goes. The hinges were clamped and cut to size using the vice as a guide for the saw blade. I made a simple clamping jig so that I could drill all the holes with just 2 positions of the table. first I milled a relief slot with a 1/16th end mill in some hard aluminum scrap and clamped this in such a way as to give me the ability to use the small toolmakers clamps on the hinges. The hinges were then drilled first in the bottom left and rotated so that the top right was next.The drill diameter was .032" This shows the clamp to drill the top left which when rotated becomes the bottom right.... Are you confused yet? also the home made precountersink All drilled the drill in the picture was used between my fingers in a twirling motion to set a bit of a countersink for the 1/32 flat head rivets which will represent the screws and hold everything together. Now I just have to sort out the sequence for attaching them.
