Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] K Boat Builders Question.

["James Frankland" <james@guernseysubmarine.com>]

Hello Dean/Dan/All.

Thanks for the replies about the wretched bevel.  It seems most people think that it is neccesary, so i have managed to find a place with a lathe big enough to take the piece.  They charge ?40/hour ($81, 58 Euros).    Hopefully, it wont take any longer than an hour.

So the bevel is going on....

Thanks
James

am currently building the conning tower base for my K350 build.  Can i ask
you all a question?

The plans show a bevel on both edges of the top of the 3/4 inch tower base

You experts jump right in here, But James I have my 350 hull at a welder now
I also asked him about the bevel. There top welder said this bevel is a good
idea
it spreads the load over a wider area, After thinking about it makes sence to
me.

Kinda like have a square corner versus a radius corner
