butch Posted November 26, 2014 #1 Posted November 26, 2014 Does anyone have comments, techniques, or links on how to locate and install deck clamps. My specific interest is for a Hahn build Oliver Cromwell. Thank you, Pete
mtaylor Posted November 26, 2014 #2 Posted November 26, 2014 Pete, Measure from the build board up is the easiest way. Mark on the frame (I go between the frames) then work from the inside using our marks as a reference. If you'll look at the plans, Hahn, shows the clamp as a line with the beams on it. Use that line for your measurement to locate the top of the clamp. I use a tool I copied from Ed T's Naiad log... here's my version: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/5339-licorne-by-mtaylor-pof-316-french-frigate-hahn-version-20/?p=154262 butch 1 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
