jsolka got a reaction from davyboy in Link
I've found a nice link (IMHO) on traditional English Ships structure. I liked the drawings showing detail of framing.

One more link - a nice book, and free pdf download.

jsolka got a reaction from mtaylor in "Rowing Dinghy" - a kit build to learn basic skills (moved by admin)
I want to learn gradually so I can eventually build my real Spray to travel the world round and round:).
It is also a very basic guide on sanding for very basic absolute beginners.
I used a glass surface to guide my sanding block so it stays at the right angle. I also glued pieces of sandpaper to it so I could have more control over sanding.

Almost unbelievable, as my pastor used to say. Congrats!

jsolka got a reaction from tkay11 in MDF material for frames and keel-How is it compaired to plywood? Good or Bad?
You have a point. Wood has a proven record of lasting very, very long, at least in certain conditions. On the other hand, mdf is used now even in restoration projects in architectural woodworking. The rule is, mdf for stability, wood for strength.

jsolka got a reaction from trippwj in Example of Frames that are not at the right angle to the keel
Thanks Alan. I was actually looking for the name. I've just found a book:
The Built-Up Ship Model By Charles G. Davis
It seems good.

jsolka got a reaction from trippwj in Example of Frames that are not at the right angle to the keel
Hi,
Here's a pic of traditional framing in which the frames (ribs) are not at the right angle to the keel (on the vertical plane). I was wondering what could be possible cons and pros for this kind of framing. I am interested in different approaches to framing and its history. I'm new to boat design, and maybe a tad anal. Anyway, as an absolute beginner, I've found it interesting.
Thank you.

I have to stop here. You're good. Great to follow your build. Need to wake up at 4 tomorrow, well I always do, but your posts don't make it easy on me.
Thanks

jsolka got a reaction from IgorSky in Spray by captainbob - FINISHED - 1:48 - SMALL - the first boat to be sailed single handed around the world
Hi Cap'n'Bob,
I want to build Spray. Slocum is quite a personality, and so is his boat! I am an architectural woodworking estimator, and I wanted to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I thought that I may want to learn auto cad. But... it turns out I can't get the license, and one is quite costly. Do you know if there is any open source software, I mean would you recommend any ( I know there are many)?
I will probably ask you many more questions, since my project will take me a while. It's just a goal that I want to keep in mind while learning and doing things. BTW I'm a newbie - you may check my post. Today is the first day of my new life:). Love this forum! And your build is awesome.
Thank you.

jsolka got a reaction from Chuck in 18th century English Longboat by Chuck - FINISHED - c.1760
Very nice. I liked the way you had the frames made with insides to be removed later (well, I'm a newbie, so I don't know whether it is something well known). Wouldn't think of it. Great presentation altogether.

jsolka reacted to Tadeusz43 in Art of period shipbuilding
Hi,
Art of shipbuilding.
Due to the lack of scientific methods of calculation and design of ships
ship building in the old days was a kind of art and everything depended on the experience of employee master of shipbuilding.
Gathered here from my archive of photos from various museums showing how ships were built centuries ago.
A few photos from the net is because old shipyards are still in the Navy possession or a ban on photographing in some museums.
Project.
Construction of a new ship ordered by the King was preceded by a performance of the model to the Admiralty can assess whether the project meets its requirements. Many of such models have survived to our time, they show the details of construction of the hull, we call it The Admiralty Models.
Because in those days there were no scientific method stability calculations all based on the experience of masters of shipbuilding.
