15.4 The joint that makes the connection with the following piece.
-
15.3 I saw the shape well out of the lines with a fretsaw.
-
15.2 I cut the template out with scissors and copy it on a plank.

Part 15:The sheer rail 15.1 The sheer rail is too long to make it in one piece. I make it in three parts. To obtain the shape of it I draw a template on the model with the help of a piece of cardboard.

The finished gangways
-
When dry I plank the gangways on the paper template. Between the planks I use again black cardboard strip caulking. To keep the planks firmly in place while gluing, I use nails in predrilled holes. The holes will later be used for tree nails.
-
I stain them with dark oak stain.

Making the gangway. I first saw the gangway trims and glue them on a paper template.
-
I make the brackets from 2x2mm brass. I make first a paper template directly signed off the model and ply the brass rods with the help of pliers. When I have all the parts, I solder them following the shape on the paper template.

Derek, You are quickly catching up with me. G.L.

Hi Derek, I cut the blade with a Dremel rotary saw and when needed I finish it of with a file. The blade is not a razor blade but a piece of a cutter blade. I think that a razor blade would fracture while scraping oak.

Then again tree nailing the completed part. Continuing to the bottom and again tree nailing and sanding.
-
In the second part of the starboard side, I leave an opening in the planking to keep the frames visual. I took over the shape of the opening from the Zeljko Triton cros section which can be found on the cross section forum under the name 'UWEK Triton Build (re-post by mod)'. I made it only a bit wider to show all nine frames.
-
After completing each third I tree nail and sand it immediately to avoid a long and boring tree nailing job for the whole hull.
-
I divide the space between the wales and the broad strakes in three equal parts and plank each part from the sides to the middle.
-
Time to complete the planking from wales to keel. I start with the garboard- and broad strakes.
-
Derek, I posted the reports for my cross section by mistake in your log. I erased them again, therefore you see some empty boxes. My excuses for that! G.L.

Nice progress Derek. You didn't place the gun ports too low like I did. G.L.
