It's difficult to tell whether one will have less waste than the other. However, I do like the standardized angle jigs. The other thing I'll have to go back for is the symmetry. I noticed a mention of it, but didn't quite pick up the how. I'll have to re read it a few more times. | ||

I will scan a few more tomorrow and transmit. I would say there is less waste myself, compared to that showing on your TOL. You may consider it more WORK though. It will give you lots of drafting to do if you choose Hahn's method. Romero sure did know how to spread things out with his practicum. Keith. | ||

I'm pretty sure you are referring to the material left inside the bulkhead that will be invisible inside the ship? Am I correct? Or did I misunderstand? I was referring to any material cut away from the bulkhead (or frame) 'blank' that is not useable due to its size or shape. | ||

I looked at the way you had done the bulkhead and thought that you were trying to have the grain follow the shape of the stern on Tree of Life.---much like POF models. All my ships have been POF. However, I still think you should plot your frames on CAD and paste directly onto the stock. Three years ago I thought it would be interesting to design a POB of "Effie M. Morrissey" an American fishing schooner. Scale was 1:48. The plans are on the 'Net. I used the station lines and plotted those in between. I used 1/4" thick basswood (Linden) for the bulkheads but had the grain running horizontally. Would not that approach work for you? Incidentally I saw your other post about Metric System. Are you by any chance living in B.C.? We have a big Russian population here now. I have a Ukrainian friend in Burnaby. Best regards, Keith. [ Edited Sun Aug 25 2019, 02:52pm ] | ||

One will definitely be transferring the station information on paper and pasting on the wood. The others will be something of a jig to help make bulkhead blanks. I have a preference to try and have the bulkhead edge grain follow the curve of the hull more or less - I'm certain it will make my life easier later. That is why I'm now trying to not have it as one piece, vertical or horizontal | ||

| Registered Member #5044 Joined: Sun Nov 26 2017, 02:06amPosts: 53 | Yes, there would still be end grain - I didn't think that would be a problem. I don't recall having issues with that. But then again, I've never made a model this way before | ||
