USS Constitution, 1:76.8

[Danno71]

Back from Boston trip. Minimal progress on transfer of plans to template and a few more cuts. Will catch up on my lessons from you real master-builders!

You are doing well,there is no hurry,the slower you go and think thru everything the better your results will be.

 

[Danno71]

Yes. Thanks for reminding me.

As they say in France: Slowly but surely.

The same in german: "Langsam aber sicher"
and we are slowly

The same in Russian: "Тише едешь - дальше будешь! "

Damned !! Again good build, but my neck is suffering.....

 

[Danno71]

Mike,
Oops!

 

[zoly99sask]

@Danno71 why did you delete the images,there was nothing wrong with the image sizes.

 

[Danno71]

I felt they were too big in pixels. All is well. Will repost this evening. Thanks for checking!

 

[Danno71]

I will repost and know nothing is wrong. Couldn’t be happier with all !

 

[Danno71]

Well, frame pieces are cut, rough sanded, and ready to square and glue up.
Also selected and cut oak(I believe), for the keel. Bearded the center frame. Will get out the shopvac tomorrow, but for now, Enough for tonight. Happy building to all!

 

[Michel]

Cool !! Good luck for the build.

I really admire anyone that can take a set of plans and scratch build. In this case, I think you are doing a superb job. I plan to visit the Constitution one day. I was up there visiting my wife's family (in DC), and unfortunately, the ship was in restoration with Cannons and Yards all over the place removed. Ship evidently shut down for visits. I would love to make it back up there before this year is up.

Complimenti , ottimo lavoro come si dice , chi ben comincia è a metà dell'opera !!

 

[Danno71]

Bel proverbio. Saluti !

Donnie,
I hope you get a chance this year. It’s clean!
Thanks!

I downloaded a digital set of the Constitution plans to my iPad. It gives me instant access to study, make notes and ‘try’ to plan out the process steps. Interpretation of brief drawing notes only, is challenging. Therefore, research in the way of videos, internet and Most importantly, my companions at SOS, cannot be understated. Thanks!!
The APP utilized on the iPad (pictured) is ‘Notable’. It allows for highlighting and hand written notes for ready reference. An inexpensive stylus is all that is needed.

a good idea to have the plans and data as often as possible at your´s disposal ....

How cool is that, I would love see her in person. So many models, so little time!

I have to tell myself often, it’s about the piece I’m working on at that moment, not the model, or the next.
