Dee_Dee Posted January 29, 2015 Share #62 Posted January 29, 2015 Bob Your Friendship Sloop is looking great! For the vinyl covered mattress, I have a couple of ideas: Cut styrene to shape, carve a little surface texture, rolled contour and slightly rounded corners and then paint with the desired color. Detail on the styrene can also be added by adding a layer or two of fine cotton fabric in the desired color. Instead of gluing the fabric onto the styrene or wood mattress, saturate the fabric with polyurethane. When dry, sand the fabric to get the final texture desired. You may need to sand / poly / sand / poly a few times to get the desired texture. If you don't have styrene, brown paper bags cut to shape, layered up and also glued with polyurethane, and finished off painted in desired color. Or, use a blue and black Sharpie Marker on the brown paper bag before adding the polyurethane. If you want to stay with vinyl, stop by the local high end bicycle shop that carries road bicycles and ask them if they have any light weight butyl tubes that you can have a section of. The rubber on these lightweight tubes is less than 1mm thick and the tube is about 1" wide with some texture lines on it. . I checked the bicycle shops in your area and Ironclad Bicycles, 710 White Spar, Prescott appears to be the only shop that carries road bikes.

captainbob Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share #63 Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks Dee Dee, Those are all good ideas. I'm not surprised you only found one shop selling road bikes. Prescott is in the high desert mountains at 5300 feet. They do sell a lot of mountain bikes here. Bob Quote Every build is a learning experience.

captainbob Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share #64 Posted January 29, 2015 Time for more. The sides of the cabin and cockpit are one large oval. So I made it that way. First, using card stock, I made a template of the oval and used it to cut out a block from an old piece of 1 X 3 fir. The circumference was about eleven inches so I cut a piece of 1/32” basswood 3/4” wide by 12” long. I wrapped it in soaking wet paper toweling and then microwaved it on high for one minute. It bent around the block as easily as if it were cardstock. I wrapped a rubber band around it and clamped it for a day. I then tapered the overlapping ends and glued them, wrapped the joint in plastic film and it is clamped and drying now. Next time I manage to get to the boatyard I’ll worry about shaping it.

captainbob Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share #72 Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for all the suggestions for imitating vinyl. I may try several before I settle on one. I have tried many ways to bend wood. Soaking in hot water, soldering iron, etc. but I’ve never had wood be as flexible as this piece was. It may have been the process, it may have been the wood, I don’t know. I’ll have to try it again. As for the microwave I do the cooking so the admiral doesn’t know. Just a thought, under the forum “Shore Leave” there’s a heading “What did you cook today?” Do you think I should give them this recipe?

Dee_Dee Posted February 3, 2015 Share #80 Posted February 3, 2015 Bob, I've steamed 1/32" x 3/16" walnut that needed edge bending in the microwave. Since these need to 'cook' a bit longer, the strips were wrapped in paper towels and then put into a 9" x 12" casserole dish with a quarter to half inch of additional water (to prevent 'cooking' the microwave.) Microwave on high for three minutes, let it sit in the microwave for five minutes, added more water if needed and cook on high for another three minutes. Handle with care.
