The only problem you have now is that you will have to wear white gloves so you do not mar that beautiful finish.

pete48 Posted May 3, 2015 Author #63 Posted May 3, 2015 The Varnish on the Hull is cured enough now to where I can get back to work , I made a new cockpit floor and detailed the rear deck. I used a birch ply for this and using a wide blade I cut groves in the deck and cockpit floor , since its a ply, if you cut through the first layer of the ply the glue before the second layer of the ply simulates the caulk. Nothing has been glued in at this stage. Next will be to varnish the bulkheads in the cockpit.

I started by sanding the bright work with 320 grit sandpaper working my way up to 600 grit. the key is going slowly then applied a coat of Varnish ( Epifanes I recommend it ) waited 8 hours and sanded with 400 grit up to 600 grit, I then applied the second coat.

pete48 Posted May 17, 2015 Author #89 Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Patrick, That's funny that you should say that , I have been accused of being a Piano builder a few times. I think that I have gotten a lot better at finishing , when I joined this forum ( MSW) finishing was the hardest part for me Best Regards, Pete Omega1234 1 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/
pete48 Posted May 17, 2015 Author #90 Posted May 17, 2015 Today, Rather than making the trim package, I decided today would be a great day to make the Mast and Boom. I started by tapering the Mast, next I gave it some shape and made the Spreaders. I then turned my attention to making the Boom. I then made the Gooseneck . I then installed the Spreaders and Gooseneck . I then drilled the holes for the Shrouds ( rigging ) and installed the eyes. I then applied a thin coat of Varnish. Next will be to paint the Spreaders white . Here are the results Elmer Cornish, Mfelinger, BenF89 and 6 others 9 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/
