Hello, today I could proudly present the first installed rigols 😓 First I draw them at the computer Then followed a sawing marathon And here they are. I carved them at the ship. There they are fast and could't move, so it is also healthier for the fingers. To the right is the jig for the high.

Thank you Matt, and also all others for your likes Today I finished the rail at the star board side and some small things at the gun ports and there lids. Just to mention the dimensions of the rail, she is 4,5 mm broad and 1,2 mm high. The next things are the rigols 😧
-
Hello, yesterday the carpenters profiled the planks for the sheer rail and produced a lot of shavings. Today we fit them in at the port side. After I got a little routine with the ends, it was an easy job. Tomorrow we will make the starboard side.
-
Hello Keith, no, the painter had a lot of work with the lids and the rest of the gang had to plan how it's going on with the rails and rigols.
-
Hello, and many thanks for your likes. today I finished the gun ports so far, that they fit and being painted. The rest comes, after I painted the outside of the ship.
-
Thank you Mark for the compliments. For the pillars I used no special cutters. But I used needle files to rund the steps.

Hello, and many thanks for your likes and wishes. After a short break between the years, I'm back at the shipyard. Now all port lids at least are build, but not all are lined. At the picture above you see the lids without lining, flush with the planking. At the picture below the lids have already the lining, and they are now not flush with the planking. All who where not ill with measles ore what else when it came to addition at school, know what is now to do. And that is not a shortcut ☹️ Above without lining and below with lining. At the picture above the lids are looking more like at most historic models. At the Centurion (below) is interesting, that they build the lids just plain, without the bulky wails or thick planking on top!

🎄 The shipwright (thats me) and the crew wish you all a merry Christmas, a happy new year and stay sound in this complicated time. 🎄

Hello, the bits and gallows for the main mast are ready. I changed also the sprouts of the elm tree pumps. And here some pictures from the gun deck
-
Hello and many thanks for your likes, Thank you Jason, the next update is not far away. The main and topsail jeer bits. For that I think I have to change something with the chain pumps fore handle. Sorry I do not know all these names. But that will take some time and thinking.
-
Hello, and many thanks for your likes and comments If you think you are ready, then it comes. I forgot the elm-tree pump 😳 So I activated the carpenters, and they build the extra carlings and ledges for them.
-
Hello, and many thanks for all the likes the painter has all the beams, carlings and ledges painted and the carpenters have reinstalled them. I think, that is here the last action for the next years 😲 Before I set them permanent in, I have to finish the outside of the ship. From the forge came the rail for the stairs.
-
Hello, the carpenters have there work done. That is the region where you later will see through the deck down to the gun deck. The next days I think, has the painter a lot of work 🙁
-
Hello, the carpenters say many thanks for your likes. I should tell you that 😉 Today we finished the carlings and the carpenters started to cut the slots for the ledges. That will take some time, even when we install only there ledges where you could see them later.
-
Hello and many thanks for your likes. I'll tell the carpenters. Today they where also very busy to lay out the next rows. I hope that we get the rest tomorrow ready.
-
Hello Mark, one question, did you plan the standards for the gun deck or upper gun deck? The gun deck has also these short curved beams. They are directly under the beams 13a and 14a. At the Dorsetshire they had no scruple to set standards above them, so why you?
-
Hello Mark, your problem is a self made problem. If you had a look at the decks plan of the gun deck, you would see it. Here I show the decks plan to the sheer plan. In blue are the beams you have drawn, but you did't draw the short bowed beams, in red. Sorry my english. If you set the standard at that short beam, you did it! The same with he next beam. Why did you omit that standard in your drawing?
-
Hello, and thank you all for your comments and likes. At the shipyard the carpenters set the last pillars at the gun deck. Next are then the carlings and the last smaller things at the deck.
-
Thank you Mark and Druxey, that is then something I have to remember when I build them at the upper gun deck. I think for the gun deck I leave it as it is.
-
Hello, and many thanks for all the likes and comments today only a short update, the carpenters installed the pillars aft. The man from the admiralty spend rum for a grog, so it's not so much work today. Is it over there also so wet and cold? I do not like this weather, but until May I think it would't be better.
-
Hello, and many thanks for your likes today is a great day, the chain pumps are ready. Even the man from the admiralty came to watch it. Ok, there is no water in the ship, so we could't test it working.

Hello Gary, that is really interesting. I had only a short look at the gun deck plans, before I posted my comment. But realised later, that the upper gun deck of the Dorsetshire plan, was disordered on which side of the beams are the hanging knees. When it is right what Druxsey said, that these plans where made „as build“ plans, then I would say, that the shipwrights had the choice where to locate the knees. At the plan for the 1745 establishment they followed mostly the for and aft theory. Because that was't a real ship they had drawn there. At the plans for the real ships, who where later build, are no knees drawn. Very interesting is here, that they did't plan hanging knees in the captains cabin at the upper gun deck!
-
Hello Gary, I do not understand your question fully, but in front of the main mast the hanging knees are in front of the beam, behind the main mast they are behind the beam. That is what I could tell you, depending of the plan from the 1745 establishment and the Dorsetshire plan.

Hello, today only a short update. I turned the pillars for the gun deck. They are all turned manually.
