I have a Laguna 14 / 12 and am very happy with it. Can saw up to 300 mm diameter. Even very tin slices are possibe.
Excellent and powerfull machine.
Hello everyone, just wanted to give you a update on the Sussex, I'm cutting and sanding the futtocks for the hull frames, I just bought this Rikon 10 inch Deluxe Bandsaw, a big upgrade from my Microlux, I love this saw so far, I would definitely recommend, after cutting and sanding I guess the next step will be to start gluing them together to create the complete hull, I will try to keep you informed step by step....
You are making a lot of saw-dust ....
I am looking forward to see the first frames
Would it be not better to glue the elements of one frame together and sand afterwards the complete frame with your spindle-sander?
Or do you make a pre-sanding with still some meat, glueing together and afterwards once more a final sanding?

I am following the instructions in the book , it tells me to do it this way, glue all together to complete full hull and fair (sand) the inside and outside, there may be other ways of doing this , but this is my first navy board model , I will probably find other ways to do this along the way, thanks
This information in the book sounds logic and is the same like I mentioned before.
I was only asking, because you showed in the photo with the sander separate elements and not a complete frame
You are on a good way .....
I think you can do this in multiple ways, here are some pictures out of the book of the hull & frames, I may do like you said complete one frame at a time, I will have to experiment, thank you for your suggestion I am open to any ideas or thoughts....
This looks like it will be a fascinating build, and I will gladly follow your progress.

It looks like a very beautiful and challenging model, lots of success and enjoyment of the construction process, I will continue to follow you with great curiosity. I would love to get more details on the instruction book and construction instructions of this model
It is called ( building a navy board model the Sussex 1693 ) by Gilbert Mcardle ,you can find the planset review on this site , there should be a link to it on my build logs.

Thank you for putting the link up for me, I couldn't figure out how to do it, appreciate it
Hello everyone time for an update, I have finished cutting the floor timbers and futtocks, I am now glueing each piece together to make 1 full frame and then I will be glueing each frame to the next in a jig to keep everything in proper alignment, I will try to keep everyone informed step by step , I am open to any suggestions or opinions because I'm new at this. Thanks
Hi Bird
Does Gilbert McArdle provide framing elevations? I have this monograph but without opening all the drawings out, I can't remember.I ask because I wondered if you had a template when gluing the futtocks together rather than just relying on lining up the outside cut faces?
Kind Regards

Hello I'm glad you asked me this , I have transferred the cross lines where each futtock begins and ends and check the angle before I peel off the paper also they are cut out 1/8 over sized inboard and out , I hope I am on the right track, thanks
Bird when you glued the futtocks together did you check against the profile to make sure things aren't running off? I know this is awkward with all the "green " around the outside, but Looking how McArdle has drawn the futtocks, they have a "kick" in each joint.I just don't want you to have a frame too wide or too narrow across the tops beyond your sanding allowance. I understand your lines give you the correct overlap, it is the overall profile I am thinking of.
Kind Regards

Thank you for that suggestion I will be checking them this morning, thanks for your help I appreciate it, that is a great idea, thanks again for your time
I took your advice and I tape the complete frame pattern together and checked the profile, so far so good, I may even use the pattern as a type of jig , I will be double and triple checking things along the way, thank you
