edt Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 I should finish the gluing of the butterfly this evening. If all goes well hull 55 will be 3D tomorrow. Ed Quote
edt Posted July 11, 2004 Author Posted July 11, 2004 Its now 3D and the butt joints are setting. Suspect I will have to use wire to close the gap. Ed [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
Stump Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Correct me if I'm wrong, I've only read about stitch and glue, never actually done any, but if the curve is fair and your happy with the line I was under the impression that up to a 1/2 inch max gap was ok to fill. Yes? No? Comments? :? Quote
Stump Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 By the by, nice looking work so far How many clamps did you have to come up with to keep it all together? Quote
capt jake Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Stump, you should know by now that one can never have too many clamps.. LOL Charlie posted a thred on the 'clamp farm' which drives this point even further. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Looks great to me! Going 3-D always gives you a great feeling, and it happens so soon with a stitch and glue design. Quote
edt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Posted July 12, 2004 You can never have too many clamps. As it stands now I have 24 of the beasts. This is just enough to do one inwail at a time (the second is setting now). I was able to close the gaps with wire stitches. It amazing how easily it came together using copper inplace of nylon. Tonight its place the blukheads and install the temporary brace. Ed Quote
