  1. Reconstruction of the aft wall of the upper deck. Drawing of what remains. Result. Swivel guns may have originally been placed here. That's why two holes were provided in the beam on each side. Whether these were still present after the renovation...? The supports in the middle are a guess. The drainage channel of the deck above; once painted, you won't notice the wire anymore.
  2. Further finishing of the upper deck. First, a coat of Danish oil and then "nails." And construction has begun on the rear castle wall.
  3. Construction of the various hatches on this deck. Eight small hatches, above each gun on the deck below. None are identical. It looks sloppy, but so be it... Larger hatches are provided in the middle. An anchor cable will later "disappear" under one. A ladder will remain partially visible under another. The mast is aligned, straight across the width and leaning slightly backwards along the length. Capstan under construction Thanks for following and likes
  4. With the deck planking finished, the deck (outside in the garden) is sanded and dusted. The planking at the back is virtually invisible later, so most attention has been paid to the parts that remain visible. Ladders glued The openings around ladders and other openings are finished with planks with grooves milled into them. The cross beams of the hatches fit here. (Most of the hatches in the middle will be closed) Thanks for following
  5. As this pdf is copyrighted but available for around £47... through the Mary Rose trust, it is not shown or attached here
  6. Indeed, the underlying axis distance between large and small beams is approximately 1cm on this scale Therefore, the distances between the seams, measured from the dale, are always with one centimetre in between. This is almost the only constant in this planking And the Anchor cable wil not toutch the main mast btw, There are anchors on starboard and port side. if I place the capstan off center then i can only operate the anchors on one side
  7. Kevels made from "wasknijpers" (Dutch) well found and very realistic
  8. Indeed, this is something different from nice straight planks. Special, but time consuming
  9. Construction of the knight for the main yard. It appears that i placed the main mast too far back. Corrected position. Knigt and the base plates for the upper deck placed. With the layout roughly sketched. And start planking. First the piece that is still left, then the remaining part (a puzzle...)

  11. That's not so good. I wish you strength in this difficult time Groetjes Patrick
  12. Thanks Steven, This capstan also served to raise the anchors and is therefore placed on the upper deck. On the upper deck of the rear castle there is a winch for operating the mizzen sail. But, I completely forgot about the knight For the main sail. Thanks for bringing this up.
  13. Small update on the upper deck layout. During a week of vacation I asked and received information from the Mary Rose museum. Was there a capstan, and if so where? Answer. There is no real evidence that there was one, but also no evidence that there wasn't one. And the most logical place is behind the main mast. Also received a pdf "Cabels and Cablets of the Mary Rose" which contains a lot of information about the layout of the upper deck and the anchor cables. This results in the following setup (not a technical masterpiece as it is sketched on a beach chair, but reasonably clear). Start upper deck.
