Hello again everyone!
I'm in the process of gathering all the necessary materials and setting up the workshop, in the next couple weeks I hope to start on L'Egyptienne. I'll be working from the Ancre monograph plans for the 24 pound Frigate L'Egyptienne, review you can find here:
The plan is to build her in pearwood, with basswood carvings, planking, and siding, and basswood carvings/accessories.
A little background on where I've been. I had taken a short break from my Hannah when we had a burglary, they took all of the tools and supplies because they were boxed nicely while I was moving things around. Luckily lots of the other things that were stolen were recovered; however, they threw away everything from the shipyard. So I've decided to call the Hannah complete and move onto a more ambitious project. The positive that came from all of this was that everything was insured, so I've outfitted an entirely new workshop and am very excited.
Many of the tools I was using previously have just been replaced with the same, except for a few important pieces.
I replaced my table saw, disc sander, and added a thickness sander from Byrnes Model Machines that I'm very excited to get started with.
The rest of the new tools I'll point out along the way. I spent a lot of time researching replacements and I'm really excited to get started.
The last thing I have to do is determine how much wood I'll need. I can't seem to find a way to calculate how much wood I should order. I'm trying to avoid making over a bunch of orders of the months just because the time it takes to arrive. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to make those calculations let me know! I did get a bandsaw so I plan on ordering billets and resaw the pieces myself to have more control over quality. Something I learned the hard way with the Hannah.
I am also going to try and do more videos instead of photos this time around, so we'll see how that goes!
