Clippix Needle Nose Plastic Spring Clamp, 2" clamping capacity, 2" Thoat depth, Bessey XCL2

Bessey's Needle Nose Spring Clamps feature a tapered nose, making them perfect for those hard to reach spaces.

I did not find an "Add to Cart" button on their site so I will give them a call for an order. Maybe it was in front of my nose and I didn't see it. Rich (PT-2)

Progress of glueing in the bulkheads

 

[Jimsky]

Great progress, Zoly! Do you fit & glue the frame or you first 'dry fitted' and then glue in order?

They were dry-fitted first but these images are glued in already,they fit perfectly

 

[zoly99sask]

Dry-fitted though the hole skeleton on the jig

This looks like a happy mating. Nice and tight! Rich

 

[Uwek]

Really a very interesting way the kit is prepared - I am looking forward to see the next steps
f.e. I am curious about the horizontal notches in the bulkheads - I guess for additional horizontal stiffeners.....

 

[Gennaro]

This is shaping really nicely. The only thing is thickness of bulkheads, they look bit too thin. How thick are they?

 

[Kurt Konrath]

I am guessing the vertical stock with bar codes is scrap pieces used to hold bulkhead square?

Work is progressing smoothly and it looks nice with top and bottom matching up so good.

They are 2.2mm thick. But...it will be more support added later while building the backbone.

On a thin side and quite sparse. Just wondering how planking is going to go. Thanks Jim.

They are ok for the scale

Are the lines seen on edges of several bulkhead for alignment of planks to keep them even down the hull?

Did they come from factory that way or did you add them.

Either way if they work as expected its a nice touch to get planks lined up easy.

[zoly99sask]

Yes,the lines came from the factory like that for aligning planking

Very helpful guides those lines which may be used or abandoned as your needs prevail. Rich

 

[zoly99sask]

I have glued in the reinforcing horizontal parts that making the hole framing,bulkheads and keel structure more rigid .

This "egg crate" of bulkheads, and intermediate horizontals is fascinating which with the initial tightly packed pieces is now bringing the large tumblehomeed hull form to a more clear view for my very limited experience. I'm glad that you can keep the pieces in order and not mixed up as to which or where in the needed sequence. You are showing us a great example of building!!! Rich (PT-2)

 

[zoly99sask]

I forgot to post the construction process of the hull from the instruction manual so here they are

 

[Bryian]

Thats a very well designed model.

Yes indeed,Sail and Sail also thought to provide a resin filler for the bow and stern marked and the planking lines on them
