michael mott Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share #1177 Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments and likes it is very encouraging, and appreciated. 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 This is the second frame glued up. and some in situ shots. 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).

michael mott Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share #1183 Posted November 8, 2015 Thank you all for the positive feedback. Here is a Step by Step of the preparation of the light frame for the skylight. The way of working at the computer desk is different that in the workshop in that I am only able to use small hand tools at the desk. With a little preparation a high level of accuracy can be accomplished with simple tools. To be fair I started with a few strips that were prepared in the shop on the table saw. the first task was to cut the profile to length, using the square vice that I use a great deal for both machine work and hand work. the design of the vice is almost the same as this one with the exception that mine has a dovetail slide and I made it myself as an apprentice 52 years ago. Next the lengths are squared up using the shooting board hooked onto the edge of the desk with a sanding stick instead of a block plane. The sanding stick has the sandpaper set in such a way that the sandpaper cannot wear away the shooting board by removing a strip from the bottom like this. I have a number of these sticks made from scraps of dimension lumber such as 2x4 the section varies depending on what I have available but I like to keep enough material so that is stays flat and square on the board. a little candle wax keeps them well lubricated on the bottom. I also generally use both sides each a different grit. I mark the ends for quick reference. To cut the 45 degree corners on the top and bottom rails I just clamped a steel 45 degree square to the shooting board. The way I use the board is to shift the work out a little so that I can see how much will be sanded off like this you can see there is a gap close to the stop. After sliding the stick back and forth a few strokes the stick ceases to cut like this Rinse and repeat as much as needed to remove the require amount, this works much faster that one would first think, I use this method far more that a powered sanding disk. The next task is to cut away the areas on the vertical sides this is done by transferring the angle to them from the top and bottom rails then cutting away the waste with the jewelers saw. The cut pieces were then cleaned up with the square file that has 2 edges polished smooth as safe edges this is one of my favourite files. then they are ready to be glued up.

michael mott Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share #1188 Posted November 10, 2015 Druxey, Bob, Ian, Steve, thanks for your positive comments, and all who pressed the like button. I finished rough sanding the four lights and am starting to work on the cleats with the bars that protects the Lexan. after cutting the cleats they were drilled with an .046 drill to accept some 3/64th brass rod 3/8 scale size. the cleats were then given an initial shaping, by stacking them on foundation with 2 sided tape to sand them after assembling the first one the bars looked a bit small so I up sized them to 1/2 inch (1/16) but did not want to re-drill the holes. after cutting the copper tube to length I inserted some 1/32 brass rod in each end and gave the tube a gentle squeeze with some round nosed pliers to hold the rods in place. I am thinking that the copper looks better anyway.

michael mott Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share #1191 Posted November 11, 2015 John, Pete, thanks for following along and all who have visited and liked what I am doing. In order to be able to set in the Lexan after every thing is varnished I needed to be able to fix the cleats with the bars afterwards, fortunately I had some very small brass flat head wood screws, I purchased them from Lee Valley page 203 they are #0 x 1/4 Step 1 was to make a small self centering awl for transferring the hole position to the cleat. I used a bit of 3/16 steel hex stock I had on the rack. after they were marked I used the same awl to make the indent larger for the #60 drill the next pic shows all the tools for setting the holes. I did have to countersink the frames so that the screws had enough purchase on the cleats I did this with #33 drill just twirled it between my fingers. seems to hold well enough. one down three more to go Elia, tlevine, Captain Poison and 27 others 30 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.
