Well, I'll see the result after the glue sets.
In retrospect should have guarded with masking tape. Filing better but maintaining sharpness of angle and not grooving base of work is difficult.
Using the chisel gives a sharp edge to the cut but tends to drift (? not rigid enough for this thickness of wood), knife blade similar problem. 25* and keepin cuts and sandinding at right angles is not easy. I must say the joint between 3,4,and five is difficult. I bet all this would have been easier if I could have used my band saw (" a bad workman blames his BROKEN tools"). Long thin paper slips and distorts, huge gap obvious when presented to other parts, so remade it with more care checking shape against master plan before trying to marry it to other parts. The usual, cut out pattern, stick, rough cut with puzzle saw and sand. I have used it for years as a reference, but the general information in the first part of this most essential book, deserves rereading.Ĭontinuing with the upper part (5) of stern deadwood. This evening, while looking in the zu Mondfeld book for figureheads, I turned back a few pages and rediscovered what a practical book this is for the building process itself. Past experience in this, work and other things, has taught me that if its a "bad" day, discipline yourself. To think of the years I only used various hand saws!! Can you rediscover that degree of patience again? I originally thought to stick the cut out patterns with 1mm between them and CAREFULLY cut with the band saw (only 0.4 wide), so as to minimise finishing. For some reason, the fit between the pieces, was unsatisfactory and lots of fettling and fiddling with files and sand paper didn't work. Well, the jig/puzzle saw wasn't the problem particularly, I just cut each piece with a wider margin. Don't all of us have"one of those days" one nothing goes right. I cut out the lower piece and placed locator pins between this and the keel at the points indicated. After working at my "day" job from home, working-life under corona for those at risk, my hyperactivity/addiction won't allow me waiting for my band-saw blades, and so I started cutting the forms for the stern deadwood.
