Thank's Alan. We don't have a staples here any more but a Office Depot and they said they could do it and the price is really really low. Thanks again. Gary -
Hi Kris. Thank you for putting the Pdf here and just to let you know I downloaded it for my self for my own personal use. Have a question, where did you have your's bindet? Have to see if I can find a place to do that for me.

Nice job Frank, She is looking good and look forward to seeing the whole hull planked.

There is a 2 part to David's Drawing Techniques for the modeler but doesn't really have any thing really on the stern other then correcting the stern tilt so you can make the parts for the ship the right length. If you want it let me know and will add it. Also if you want I can delete some of the Franklin stuff so it doesn't clutter up your log once you have down loaded them unless other's want this to. Gary

Here is Number 48 June 1984 which is the conclusion

I have to look and see if I can find any more of David's drawing techniques article. I think there is one more and will take a look. Here is the start of 41 and I also found the conclusion of John's articles which I have also inclosed.

Hi No Ideal. When I come to hard spot's like what your up against you might take some painter's tape, take it and push it in place, then taking a pencil, mark around the planks and see what comes out. It usually a rough copy imprint of the area but it does give you a starting point. I do this a lot when I get to a place like your self. Hope this help's good sir. Gary

Sorry about that, I had a brain fart. Model Shipwright, Issues 41, September 1982, HMS Egmont, part 1, 74(1768) starts at page 4 and run's to page 13, author is John Franklin. Hope that help good sir. Gary
-
Sorry about that.

I also like David White articles Traditional Wooden Shipbuilding, but he didn't finished them. I believe the last article seem's to be missing, at least I believe it is. Those articles in Model Ship Wright opened up my eyes to what really was.

Hi Alan. I sought of got hung up with my printer. Tried to scan the picture in to the computer but kept wanting a password. O well. I took a photo of the side and aft view which may help. He does go in to more info then any thing else I found. Let me know what you think of his article. Gary

Alan there is a good article by John Franklin in Model ship Wright, HMS Egmont(74) 1768 41/4 and 42/29 that will give you some help on building your stern. I used his article's and David Anscherl such as Drawing Techniques for the Modeller and his 64 gun ship Polyphemus. If you don't have them let me know and I will copy them and send them to you. They always had such wonderful article's it a shame they stop producing them. Gary

a drafting tool or paper weight

Thank you folk. I seen them before just can't remember were and they are called a whale. Very interesting. Gary -
Looking good Alan. Your making good head way sir. That stern is a hand full that's for sure and is a heck of a lot of work.
-
Hi good folks. Have a friend who is trying to figure out what this Blue tool is in the picture and what it's called. I have seen it used but for the life of me can't figure out what's it called. Maybe I have seen it in one of my books some place. Look forward to finding out what it is and thank you in advance. Gary

Ben if you was going to buy some Holly for you building where would you go to get some? Am not sure if I have enough and figure maybe I would get a couple of pieces before I start that part of the build. Thank you. Gary

Ben I have some good holly with no gray streaks and probably have had it for a few years. Not sure if I have enough to plank the hull but we will see. I also have some silver maple which is probably just as white. so maybe I see if I can find more of both. Well good sir you got it right and wood now days is quite expensive. Thanks again. Gary

Hi Frank. No sir I painted the wale after adding the second layer. Didn't come out to bad. When I was talking about adding more planking, it was the planking around the wale. It can get real messy trying to keep the paint and dye off of new plank's laid along side the wale it self. When I was working on Alfred I put them in two layer's but they was in anchor stock. A lot more time consuming that's for sure. As far as the outer stern frame's I just haven't got around to sanding them down yet to the finished side, but thanks for letting me know about it causing problems with the positions of the outer two stern windows. I make sure they are not to thick. Thank you good sir. Gary
-
Hi Ben. I been looking at your planking and must say it is out standing that's for sure. The holly you used for the planking below the wale is a eye catcher. Am think about using holly for the lower planking that is with your permission good sir. Keep up the great work. Gary

Thanks Dusan. I have three of the direct grinder around the shop. Never thought of them as grinder' but makes sense. Have one in a stand, one in a vandalay router table and one that I use free hand much like you did. Pain in the butt if you only have one and moving it around. I had a few dremel motor tools over the year's, but after buying the first proxxon motor tool I retired all of the dremel. The proxxon are really quiet compared to the dremel which screams and just got tired of the sound it make's. The only item that I still use in the dremel department is the bit's and the angle attachment which is so much easier getting in to tight places and using ear plugs to block all of the screaming. Wish proxxon made a 90 degree one, that you could mount the drill chuck to, now that would be nice. One would never have to turn on another screamer. Again thanks Dusan. Gary

Thank you Dusan. Have most of those item's accept the proxxon sander. Think I just may have to get one of those. Thanks again . Gary

Hi Dusan. Your building is just outstanding and really look's good that's for sure. I have a question on the inside of her which has to do with the inside wall's. In post 69 you showed the inside fairing and it is even and look's great. Can you give us just a bit of info on how you got them looking so good. Maybe what tool's you may of used to get them that way. Keep up the really impresses work and will be watching your build. Gary

Hi No Idea. Just so the good folks don't run out and buy what you shown in https://www.foredom.net/product/a-69224-right-angle-attachment/ you also have to get the head piece which hold what you have shown in in the angle attachment. Those are just the collect's for holding the bits. Both items together will run you around $200 .https://www.foredom.net/product/2-angle-grinder-attachment/?attribute_pa_sku-handpiece=ak69110-no-handpiece Gary

Thanks guys. At the moment am working on the wales and once I have them cleaned up I paint them with a black dye. Figure painting them now before I add any more planking, would keep me from making a mess. Later will paint the gun ports red but have to figure out what shade of red would fit her time frame. So many shades to pick from, makes one head spin trying to get that just right. Again thank you guys. Gary
