The ninth frame, 56% is done (not glued) :

After each adding of wooden cut, I verify all curves and alignments to be safe  

Now, after the eighth frame, the shape moves slowly near the quarterdeck, 50% is done :

Could an administrator move this interessant discussion into appropriated topic : Charles Galley by Allan ?

Thanks,

And the seventh frame is done :

And the sixth is done : the fore frame beginning to appear out of close nothing :

Hi Bruce,

I fix my bulwarks with two opposed half notches (male and female), one down the mould, and other up the keel

Regards,

Christian

Five / sixteen bulwarks = 31 % done :

25 % of bulkheads cut (but not glued) :

Following skeleton of ship :

i have a dictionnary of marine vocabulary of 18th century... but you have to open it for use...  

Moby Dick's monograph exists also at scale 1/36 = length 2.20 m  😘

First frame in position, it will be a fat boy, miraculous, floating line is OK  😘

A test of a simulated trailboard shock (not glued) :

The two solutions without sinking gammonings :

I suppose that the piece 204 don't arrive at height of upper volute  (hances and standard knee are different pieces)

Today work without gammoning holes (and not glued) :

[...] if it were me, I might redraw the timbering, so that the gammoning didn’t pierce at an awkward place below the lower cheek, and I would probably cheat the waterline down by a 1/16” - 1/8”.

 

It may not be exactly right, but it is more correct LOOKING than what Lemineur provides for [...]

Here I show you a redraw of plan using your recommendation, and water line cheated down 1/8" (around 3-4 mm) :

The ropes will be out of water, but with the decorative element hidden by

gamonning, without inconvenient, it's not an immortal masterpiece of Art  😋

The first rail is almost finished, closer to a work of sculpture than of engraving :

Then, like pancakes, turn it, and start again the same work of cook, without burn out  😘

I had inform you that I decided to follow my first idea about gammoning of S-Philippe, I cannot follow the sinking ropes...  😘

@Hubac's Historian

I received a notification of a message titled "test" send by you, but I found any message on site ? What a curious mystery !  😋

I have the "choice" between an historic "probability of truth", and another approach, more "creative"

J-C Lemineur wrote to me that my proposition had existed, but later, then it would be an anachronism, that's also your point of view...

I shall take a moment of reflection before a definitive decision   😘

Yes, it's what you've understood, If you know the kit of USS Conferderacy, it's the model i'm following for improve the S-P gamonning

I shall not modify the waterline position, because it's an absolute reference for all the built

Don't forget that these holes will be hidden under a furring deck, SP seems to be a little difficult, but nothing really impossible for me...   😘

Some end of afternoon small work :

These illustrations show little more about this rather difficult question : 

Small holes :

Possible rectified gammoning's holes simulation :
