Baker replied to mati's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Very, Very, nice work Mati. Congrats -
Vacations over and back to real life. Read all this on vacation. https://www.hnsa.org/manuals-documents/age-of-sail/the-elements-and-practice-of-rigging-and-seamanship/sail-making-vol-i/ (HNSA) https://www.hmsrichmond.org/sailmker.htm https://textileranger.com/2016/08/01/even-more-sail-history/ (textiles) http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Rigging/Sails/Wasa-sails.html Available info 16th century : virtually nothing; 17th century : some; 18th century and later : good. All this is internet info, so it could be wrong Thread thickness : Vasa would have had an average of 10 threads per cm. Converted there should be about 450 threads per cm on a scale of 1/45 (impossible) Tabling : from a few inches (sailmaker) to a detailed description (HNSA page 93) Clotchs width : 24 inch (sailmaker) 23-30 inch (textiles) (bolt) ropes above and around the sail (HNSA page 95) Very nice sails can indeed be made with the silkspan, modelspan. But personally I don't like to see them on a wooden 16th century model. That's why I continue my my cotton. I think I found something to make the texture less rough. First :stitching seams "hem" (bad English ?? ) "omzomen" (in Dutch) and glue with diluted pva sew, sew, sew... Then smear the sail on both sides with colorless shoe polish ( beeswax and carnauba wax, wow) result Not quite yet what it could be, but better than the diluted black wash test (bad picture) Thanks for comments, likes and following

The further sail making "adventures" All that follows are experiments. Which have probably already been done by others. A first test with a piece the cotton cloth. On this machine : the smaller the number the longer the stitching, the 0 goes backwards. The smallest stitching (about 1mm) thus results in a line. Results test 1 with a trial sail. 1 learn to stitch better and straighter(need to practice more) 2 Indeed too thick, but this can be camouflaged with the rope that is sewn around it. 3 the texture of the fabric is indeed quite rough. Test 2 with the mizzen sail. Looks pretty decent. But the silcspan will also deserves a chance after this. Thanks for folowing, comments and likes

Geweldig... Awesome Thank you very much, much appreciated No, The stitching was a test whether the machine works properly. This will be trying and testing first. To see which stitching will look good. The cotton sheet looks ok. And somewhere I hope to be able to use it. I actually like this work with a sewing machine (makes me relax) The cotton is of course too thick (in a real it is about half an inch thick) But with a rope sewn around it hopefully it won't be noticeable. All options are still open Once I found this on MSW and printed it. But I can't find this on the site anymore. Only through google search https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Rigging_and_Sails/ScaleSails.pdf

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
