Construction of the staghorns or kevels.
In the kit are the parts from cherry and plywood. On the top right of the picture a cleaned version.
The horizontal plate should still be closed with a bar, like in the picture. The plywood can also be stained in cherry. Modelers without any experience will gratefull accept these parts.
My extensions are in pear. Therefore I have to build the staghorns myself.
Saw out and file.
Top left first try with heart glued on. On the bottom right side thicker heart like on the Hermione.
The boudriot hearts were drawn somewhat flat. On the Hermione I had seen beautiful round hearts, which are also easier to drill without drilling through them.
Drilling device for horizontal wood with ground angles.
After the first drilling, the underside of the board to be drilled is turned upwards and again by 180 degrees. In this way both drillings are done with one template.
Now file the drill holes squarly.
The heart with drilling template with angles.
If drills are not clamped briefly, they bend and drill incorrectly. Therefore I drilled with a milling cutter.
Left staghorn after Hermione, right after drawing from the Boudriotplan.
The staghorn is not yet glued and already holds and fits like one piece without gaps.
The next days I have to make five more pieces.
With best regards
Thomas
