Thanks Mark
I am the happy creator of an inversible shipyard : with metal squares, it's possible to work with upper keel, and the wooden squares is adapted for the deck's built, after entire planking of hull... 😋
All is removable for changing function at each new step

davec reacted to ccoyle in Making Rope Coils with a Jig by Peta_V
Hey, folks! Here's a great tip for making realistic rope coils. This post was originally made by member Peta_V in his excellent build log for Master Korabel's AVOS kit, which you can read here. Enjoy!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is a short guide, how I do coils.
I have a jig from the scrap wood with 3 removable pins (2,3,5) and 3 securing points (1,4,6).
1. Secure the line to point 1 and make several loops around pins 2 and 3. I do 4-6 loops so the coils does not look similar. (I start with removed pin 5). Once finished with loops secure the other end to point 4.
2. Unsecure line from point 1 and pull out the very first loop through the middle of the coil.
3. Now you have to twist this to form the eye and secure it with pin 5.
4. Remove pin 2 and fully insert pin 5. Now you can adjust the coil as you want a once happy secure the end to point 6.
5. Now I secure the coil with 3 drops of CA glue. One where the eye meets coil, second ať the bottom of the coil and third to secure the loose end to the coil. Remove the coil from the jig by removing pin 5 and trim the excess thread.
6. Place the coil on the deck
Perhaps someone finds it usefull.
Stay healthy!

Dave,
I took a quick look at the monograph and it seems to me that the hull can be built on jig 1. The builder in the monograph does not seem to use jig 1 to help control the frame angle of the side planks. But it can be done using jig 1. Here is a look at the jig I used for my very "similar to a sharpie hull". Your thinking is correct. You can call me to discuss technique if you want.

Hi Dave, are you not planking up around the molds shown in your pic? I have not read the monograph. I'll have a look at in the am. Seems like the keelson and chines can be installed on the molds you have, and the planking wrapped around, but maybe I'm missing something.
