Here's the second installment in the series. We start making things. I show how to lay out the hull, cut it to rough shape and start carving it down. We also take a deep dive into oar details. Enjoy!!!

He is pretty amazing. I have another friend named Rob who is also amazing. I don't know if it's something with the name, or what. Anyway I might have a chance to bring you some of his work sometime in April. That may not be part of the whaleboat series, but you're not going to want to miss seeing his work, either.

Tom, thanks for posting this series, definitely the best model ship channel on youtube. I predict your channel will blowup real soon! So nice to meet a fellow modeler who works at my level, and who espouses the philosophy involved in modelmaking.

Thanks for the thought. As for my channel blowing up, I never expected so many people to respond to this the way they have. It really blows me away every time I look at the numbers. I had no idea there were that many of us out there.

Hello Tom, greetings from Whitinsville, Ma! Thank you for the videos. Have been searching for how to take my ship modeling to the highest level.....finally found it! Verbose? So what? Your thoughts and insights on our craft are precious and essential. Thanks again, as we all know making these videos is not easy. Have a great day, Rich.

Thanks for the kind words, Rich. Another great resource of ship modeling information is the USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild. I've been a member there for about 12 or 15 years and if you've got questions, chances are very good, there's someone in the Guild with the answer. When the virus restrictions end, the Guild will go back to meeting at the USS Constitution Museum at the Charlestown Navy Yard the first Tuesday of the month. Visitors are always welcome, or you can join online (www.usscmsg.org/). Either way, it serves to promote ship mode building and further the craft. Check it out. In the meantime, I'm glad you are getting something out of the videos and I hope you'll continue watching. Maybe see you in Boston?

Tom thank you for episode #2. I find the best way for me to proceed is to consider each part as a separate model that the sum of which ultimately adds up to the finished product. We will have to have a discussion about ways to approach carving an open boat. And, yes, both your friends named Rob do build amazing models!

Bob, Treating each thing I make as a complete model unto itself is something I've been spouting on about for years and in the videos. To see you say the same thing is a validation-thank you. And, all three of my friends named Rob build pretty amazing models. Hope to see you soon, Old Friend.

I built the New Bedford Whaleboat -- it took me a year -- I surely wish I had your video at the time. My next project is the Charles Morgan -- Have you built this?

@shipmodelguy 4 жыл бұрын

Ariel, I just now saw this comment. Sorry, Brother. No, I've never built the CW Morgan. I built the Kate Cory about 5 years ago. Being a brig as opposed to a larger ship or bark made the project a bit easier as there were only four whaleboats that had to be made, not six or seven. Tom

Could you provide the measurements for the other oars as well so I can make them too? The process is the same right? Did you get them from the book? because they're not on the linedrawing

Oh nvm i see that they are not just different scales but also different shapes

Tom can you recommend a good hobby lathe?

@shipmodelguy 4 жыл бұрын

I like the one you saw in the video tour of my shop, the Sieg 3 14" lathe for Little Machine Shop. It's not cheap, though. With the tooling and a couple of basic accessories, it was well over a grand.
