The other Eric's HMS Blandford Cross Section - 1:48 - Scratch build

[Brewbrarian]

Aft hatch grating frame...need to review @Anthony1 log for cutting actual grates. One of those things that makes me super nervous.

Hallo Eric,
wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Dear Eric
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

[Brewbrarian]

Aww thanks, guys.

 

[Brewbrarian]

Second failed attempt at hatch coamings.. not sure my Proxxon table saw is capable of doing this well...

 

[Brewbrarian]

I'm just going to say that, in theory, I've got this mastered....

 

[Anthony1]

maybe make the cuts further apart and not so deep , is your blade sharp , mine is fairly new , other than that i would say its perfect

Hello Eric, you will need a very sharp and thin blade of 0,25 ~ 0.3mm to slice. The thick blade will destroy. Also, the blade should be just a bit more, then actual material to cut. This will save the teeth sharpness.

Yeah, most everything seems to work fine, it's just when I go to slice the individual slats loose that all the teeth of the comb get destroyed. I'll see what I can do about getting another blade for that part. Any reccommendations? I am currently using the blade that came with the Proxxon FET.

My first go with tree-nails. A bit tedious, but I'm pretty happy with that.

 

[DocBlake]

The treenails look great!

I haven't tried it myself but maybe something like this could be used?

Hello Eric, I don't own the Proxxon Fet tablesaw, What is the arbor size 10mm or 12mm?

 

[Norway]

Jim, the center hole is 10mm.

 

[Jimsky]

Many thanks, Knut. In this case, @Brewbrarian Eric yu can use this blade made by Proxxon

Made some decent progress today. Completed the pump dales....

 

[Brewbrarian]

Waterways and spirketting on the lower deack....

 

[Brewbrarian]

And last night, I started ro do some of the exterior planking...using yellowheart wood to simulate the ochre color wwith a natural wood grain.

 

[Jimsky]

That 'yellowheart' timber looks really good! How this timber flexible, say around the bow section?

This yellowheart planking here is about 2.5 mm thick and still has some flexibility to it. I would think that a thinner plank, with some steaming might be flexible enough to turn the bow. It is dense though, so it might take some experimentation.
