NEW BEDFORD WHALE BOAT by Mario 1/16 scale scratch build [COMPLETED BUILD]

AS FOR THE COOPERAGE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE HOW I WAS GOING TO HANDLE BUILDING ALL THESE BITS. SINCE MY BUDDY HAD BUILT THE KIT.
AS IT TURNED OUT ANOTHER FRIEND HAS A SON YOU WAS ENJOYING AND GETTING TO KNOW HIS NEW TOY. A LASER PRINTER/CUTTER WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. HE SAID HIS SON WAS NEEDING A PROJECT OR TWO TO HELP LEARN HIS NEW TOY. SO I GAVE HIM ONE. THE KID WAS GRATEFUL AND AS YOU CAN SEE SO WAS I.

I DECIDED TO START MAKING THE BITS HERE AND THERE THRU OUT THE BUILD SINCE THERE WAS SO MUCH TO DO. THOUGHT IT WOULD BREAK UP AND GIVE A BREAK FROM BUILDING THE BOAT.
I MARKED THE LOCATIONS OF THE STAVE LINES FROM THE PLANS AND USE MY TINY FILE TO SCRIBE THEM ON THE BASSWOOD BLANK. I DIPPED MY FINGER TIP INTO SOME WATER AND WET THE BACKSIDE. LET IT SOAK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE BLANK BENT VERY EASY FOR THE FORM. I ALSO DECIDED JUST VARNISHING THE STERN TUB AND THE REST OF THE BUCKETS AND SUCH. IT JUST LOOKED NICER TO ME.

I WENT BACK TO THE HULL AND STARTED WORK ON THE CHEEK PIECES LOCATED AT THE BOW. THESE WILL HOLD THE BOW ROLLER IN PLACE. PLUS THE FORWARD ENDS OF THE INWALES AND GUNWALES WILL BE SECURED TO THE CHEEKS.
I WANTED THIS MADE FROM BOXWOOD, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT SIZE ON HAND. SO I WOULD HAVE TO MILL MORE STOCK. TOO MUCH WORK FOR 2 SMALL PIECES. I ENDED UP AGAIN USING BASSWOOD FOR THESE PIECES. I HATE MILLING WOOD WAS THE OTHER REASON.

ONCE DONE I GLUED IN TO PLACE TO THE WALES AND THE STEM POST. I TRIM DOWN THE POST LEVEL AND PER INSTRUCTION FILE THE STEM TO FIT THE BOW ROLLER. NEVER HAVE TURNED METAL BEFORE SO THIS WAS GOING TO BE NEW AND A VERY SMALL PIECE TOO.

THAT'S IT FOR RIGHT NOW. JUST HAVING A HARD TIME MODELING THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS SITUATION AND NOW ALL THIS DAMN CIVIL UNREST GOING ON IN MY COUNTRY AND STATE. I FELL ASHAMED AND SAD ABOUT THE SITUATION AND BEING VERY CONCERNED OF PROTECTING MY FAMILY.

SO ALL YOU IN MY COUNTRY PLEASE BE SAFE AND HAVE HOPE AND PRAY THAT THINGS WILL END SOON AND WE WILL BE BETTER OFF FROM ALL OF THIS SOON! GOD BLESS!!!

Typing in all caps is normally considered yelling and rude.

That is unless you have vision problems like a few of our members have

Just letting you know

THANKS DAVE!

AS FOR TYPING IN CAPS I JUST DO. I DO KNOW WHAT IT STANDS FOR. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TYPE AND TOO OLD TO LEARN. BUT IF OFFENDS PEOPLE THEN I WILL STOP. I'M RETIRED AND ENJOYING LIFE. I COME FROM A DIFFERENT GENERATION OF LOVE, HONOR AND RESPECT. I AM TIRED OF THIS POLITICALLY CORRECT WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW. BUT I WILL STILL NOT CHANGE. IF THIS OFFENDS I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. THAT IS WHY I AM CONSIDERING THESE 2 BUILDS OF MINE THE LAST. MY ELDEST SON SAYS I SHOULD DO A BLOG. IT'S LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME.
SO IF THIS OFFENDS PEOPLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WILL BE DONE WITH THESE LOGS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW, AND AT OTHER FORUMS I AM A PART OF. THE LAST THING I WANT IS TO GET IN THE MIDDLE A PISSING MATCH. MSW IS RIGHT NOW IS RIPPING A NEW ONE ON SoS AND THEY HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE TO MSB. SO PLEASE AGAIN LET ME KNOW BECAUSE I WANT NO PART OF ANY OF THIS KINDA STUFF AND I WILL LEAVE.

GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL
 
If you need to type in all caps that is fine with most of us.

I was just letting you know, as some don't know about the standard.

We don't want to get into the problems other boards are having, and we can live with your desires on typing in all caps.

HI EVERYONE,
TO BREAK UP THE BUILD A LITTLE I WORKING ON THE HULL AND ALL THE BITS THAT GO WITH THE BOAT. THESE BOATS WERE PAINTED IN DIVERSE COLORS. SOME DISPLAYING FOUR/FIVE DIFFERENT COLORS JUST ON ONE BOAT. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME I WENT WITH GREEN AND YELLOW SO FAR. RONNBERG STATES THAT GREEN AND YELLOW WAS A NICE COMBO FOR THESE BOATS. IT WOULD MAKE IT POP!!! SURE DOES BUT I AM ALSO FROM SOUTHERN CALIF. THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD FOR THE AVOCADO. SO WHEN I'M DONE I WILL BLESS HER THE USS AVOCADO!!!

SO ONWARD WE GO!

AT THIS TIME I AM WORKING ON THE CUDDY AT THE STERN AND NEXT THE THIGH BOARD AT THE BOW. RONNBERG INSTRUCTED TO ADD THE PANELS A PIECE AT A TIME. I DECIDED TO INSTALL IT AS A COMPLETE PANEL. IT JUST SEEMED EASIER FOR ME.
BEFORE I WENT INTO DOING THE CUDDY, HE ALSO INSTRUCTED TO GLUE IN PLACE THE TWARTS. I DECIDED TO LEAVE UNGLUED AND GLUE THEM IN PLACE WHEN I WAS DONE IN THE AREA THEY WERE GOING TO BE PLACED. IT JUST LEFT ME MORE ROOM TO GET MY FINGERS IN AND OUT OF THERE.
