Hi Peter. When I installed Alfred's cant frames , along with clamps and glue I also pined them in place. Once they was good and dry the pin's were removed and tree nail's were installed. Helped keep every thing good and tight. Nice build so far. Gary -
Thanks Albert that is exactly the one I am hoping to get in the very near future. Thank you Clay and Jaager for the information it should help the NMM find the print. Email on the way to them. Gary

I sent a email to the Royal Museum Greenwich, for a print of the Intrepid, 1770, Intrepid /Magnanime Class for the Frame print, which Anson is part of. It's a side view much like the one you have on the wall. Should come in handy if they can find it. Gary

Looking good Siggi. Have always enjoy your build's and enjoy the crew who are building it. Outstanding job. Gary

Thanks Albert. Do you by chance have the ZAZ and J number of that plan? Am trying to order it but so far can not find it and will come in real handy when building the ship. Hard to frame one when you can't see how the frames look on the side. I sent a email to the Greenwich requested that plan but so far they have not come up with any thing. Thanks you sir and you are outstanding. Hope your having a good day and look forward to watching your outstanding build come to life. Again thank you. Gary

Albert the plan you have on the wall in you last post of the ship in frame is that one from the NMM or one you drew up for the Anson to help you build her? Looks good. Gary

Hi Albert. Your building and dry dock are out standing. If you don't mind just a question but the wood on your base looks like pear but what is the top made of ? It looks like rock by the color and this is the same type of base I want to build for Montague/Alfred. Another question how wide is the opening of the back of the slip and how deep did you make it at the back end and front end. Have the book you talk about and will come in real handy and thank you again very very much for sharing your build with us. Gary

We have missed you Albert and very happy to see you back. Gary

Hi Dave Am just a little late to the party but have one other book that will make a good addition to you small library. Peter Goodwin has a very wonderful book and I use it and Brain Lavery all the time and would be a good asset for you. It's called the Construction and fitting of the English Man of War. Do believe you will be very happy with this one and really has lot's of good infor that one need's for building them. Have fun. Gary

Thanks Jim. It's getting there and am hoping it come's out on the good side. Some time's I just have to push my self to go out to the shop to work on her verse just sitting in the house being a coach potatoe. You will get there before you know it. Just take your time good sir and as Chuck said it will be a big relief once it's finish, the hull planking that is . Will be watching your build. Being able to look in on the other build's is a big help to myself and other's and for that a big thank you. Gary

Thanks Chuck for the kind word's and for the like's to. One thing is for sure it is a very long process that's for sure. Also thanks for the encouragement which helps one to keep going. Gary

Hello good folks. Seems like I have been doing this for every, planking that is. Don't think it's to bad, not perfect, but planking was always the hardest for me when it came to building and planking a hull. Maybe that's why I stick to building them, plank on frames, with out planking the lower hull. Figure building Chucks hull gave me a chance to practice this part of the hobby. Not the best but that's ok. After a couple of month's, have manage to get 3 belts per side done, and now facing what I believe to be the hardest belt to come. Looking at the landing of the counter planks and where the lower planks on the hull meet, will be a big test of getting the planking just right. A sort of do or die I believe. Hoping that it will come out looking good but will have to wait and see. I have to line this belt off yet, which should be a big help doing it. Still a lot of sanding to do once the last belt is on and finally putting a finish on.

Well Druxey I have to agree with you. Would strengthen the hull that's for sure. Gary

Alan it's looking outstanding and will even look better when you get the door way's cut out. I take it you will be installing the stern timber's next? Look forward to the next update. Gary

Your welcome Mark. I thought it was castello boxwood. Just love working with that. One thing about it is it doesn't show much of a grain which help's enhances one's work. Thank you again. Gary

Hi Mark. She's looking really good. I know you probably have mention this before but what wood are you using? Look forward to your next update. Gary

Hi Allan, was just a little bit lost. Had to go back and look in your book Vol 1. Makes sense after reading what you wrote. Thanks. Gary -

Hi Peter. Your work is looking outstanding but have a question. You mention that your waiting for some copper foil to put between the keel and false keel. Can you tell me where you found this bit of infomation. Don't think I have come across it. Thank you good sir and will be watching your build come to life. Gary -
Looking good Mike. Am looking forward to your next update. As far as the cold temperatures, you can keep them.

Looking good Dusan and perfect just like the rest of the ship. Gary
-
Looks good Mike and ever thing looks ship shape, a very pleasant view of her and easy on the eye's. You should be proud of your self with a big pat on the back. A build that we strive for in our own build's. Gary

Kevin I wouldn't mind seeing it to and was wondering how Maury keep's it in place. Have a couple of pieces which would work just fine. Enjoyed your last Video and look forward to the next one. Gary
