the Colonial Schooner Hannah in 1/48 [COMPLETED BUILD]

thanks, Sulaire
I forgot to mention a very important detail, I first cut the boards at our friend's site stuglo. He allowed me to use a saw and shares a lot of knowledge about building models. he is an unique man
 
Hi dear friends :)
Today I focused on the serial production of the parts that make up the frames.
As I updated last Tuesday, I made the boards in the Prooxon Thicknesser DH 40.
The construction started today in calculating the quantity required from each part and I started drawing on the boards the parts from number 1 to number 5.20200807_152150.jpg
Later I started sawing the boards, first at the edges to produce 2.5 cm wide boards.

Next I sawed the five parts in series. Everything went fine until due to haste (the family dinner was approaching) and inattention I was lightly cut in the finger. Happily the incision was not deep and a basic dressing stopped the bleeding.20200807_184949.jpg20200807_185005.jpg
But it seems to me that in the coming days I will not return to the work of sawing, but do not worry I will return again, that is my pleasure and happiness.
Wishing us all a fun weekend

Hello dear friends :)
Apparently I was wrong in my ability to curb the passion and enjoyment of building ships model, I went and even finished cutting all the parts into frames b to p. 20200808_155641.jpg
I will update you later about the progress.
wishes all a nice weekend full of pleasures
 
I’m a little confused by your log! It appears you have several wood species for your frames. I can identify what looks like cherry, maple and perhaps poplar. What will you use for your final frames?
dear Doc
Well done for the sharp and professional distinction Thumbsup
Indeed I practiced the first two frsmes on a cherry, however since the language is rare and expensive I decided to use more available and inexpensive wood.
The cherries and maple boards, I keep to Harmony that I bought her book and maps about three months ago.
It will take me a few more years of learning and specialization before I can tackle it with the required quality.
I dedicate the current model for the purpose of learning and even learning from mistakes.:)
 
Location determines price. Where I live, cherry and maple, suitable for modeling, is actually fairly cheap. Cherry in “Select & Better” grade is costly, but you don’t need that clear lumber in long lengths to build models! Cherry in #1 Common will yield lots of clear timber in model making lengths (2-3 feet long).

Hello my good friends
This weekend I continued in serial production of the layers from which I will make the frames. The pictures best illustrate the slightly Sisyphean process at the end I was able to produce 11 layers of one types.
The process started with sanding the different parts so that they would all be the same and match the drawing.
I then glued the 4 parts that make up the current layer according to the drawing, the wax paper separates the wood from the drawing and also between the weights and the books.

Dear Friends
today I continued with the production of the frames, I took care of gluing the two layers according to the drawings.
slowly but surely moving forward to the serial production of the frames, With great enjoyment of the process :D :)20200818_200605.jpg20200818_204933.jpg20200818_210111.jpg20200818_210123.jpg20200818_214209.jpg
