Ship tools for Model ship making

Perfect 👍 🤩. So this is my problem and why you deserve such great feedback. I am 38 my youth modelling exp started bright although young minded I put off what I didn’t wanna learn. Boat building here in E london is tight lipped rarely done and ridiculously expensive thanks to other countries we can get varied prices and I can get learning. So many things I am learning from great men like you showing us. The tight lipped may know but it never lasts 🕰️. So thank you for enabling me like others boilerdan etc ah this helps so much. How do you know the curve angle when making a plank bender?

can’t really make out what you are doing with the spring clip, perhaps when my clips arrive it will be easier to see

Some clips are shaped right though, on the ones I bought the silver handles were just barely too short and didn't fit inside the black portion.

Thats for.the ratguard

Do you have. Plans for a hull vise. The tool looks like one you have developed

Believe me, there is nothing better to build wooden model boats with individual planks as instant adhesive and activator spray . I've used ordinary glue and different fixing tools for years and switch from one day to the other when somebody - modelisto - introduced me to the state of the art method.

Electric steam steriliser. Great way to steam planks.

The metal binder clips are great.
Don’t forget the humble spring clothes pin. You can cut/sand/shape the nose to a flat “duck bill” or even a needle nose. Mini clothes pins are available at the dollar store.

Guys like you survive the zombie apocalypse. You're probably sick of hearing about zombie apocalypses so .... Very Macgyveresque.

You will see, is that I started to make my first model from plans, but they are not in my language it turns out that it is the rattlesnake hms, and thanks to your help I think it will be perfect ... please keep on teaching me how until now, a pleasure and LUCK

Also I asked a question on your planking video, but I’m sorry for asking on about her video, but do you bend the wood when building the bow of the ship? Or just glue it to the ribs?

Edit: sorry I just got to that part of the video, Thanks!

Genius brother! This should help with the rattlesnake!

Cool!

Love it.

I love that clip idea. I'm building my first model and was having trouble getting planks to stay in place while the glue dries.

Thanks for sharing,especially your plank bender👍
