Gddday Vaddoc, some days are bleak for sure but you still do wonders with those difficult bow angles parts. sanding discs are tools with capital T. enjoying the progress with comment and learning from it. V.

And so it has started.... Great planking of 2020. Started offv yesterday , had to use paper as caulk because no pencil would be wide enough to be realistic un my scale. I worked in batches of 13 timbers - cutting, gluing with wood glue to furm paper of 1/3 mm, i was nervous but once lfigured out that it went smooth cutting with surgical scalpel, ut went quite fast. When glued up i sanded rough ends to the line in once... fingers crossed as im doing this first time, but i rembmber from real floor laying that many can go awfully wrong easily. measured it throughout twice and so far satisfied....will see how it goes on if the kung plank is straight...im less nervous now but sheer will be it....ow . Done roofing on decjs as well. Poop will be dark with white seams..thx

Material for keel
Vladimir_Wairoa replied to mikegr's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hello Mike, thickness pf the keel is according to the plan/ scale. i can imagine dense grain wood like cherry pear probably best suited in regard of comfort of eork etc...stay far away from hardwoods like oak etc...frames if you mean bulkheads choose something you can later push pin into etc...and if you are going to fill reat of skeleton woth balsa etc..you can have fine base fo gluing and wood wont work if future... -
You are a treasure Martin , thank you very very much ! looks like less work though:) in 1:24 scale it means 1.6 mm in center of plank approx 5 mm from end. plank width 5 or 6 mm. makes sense seems to me there were probably iron bolts to hold planks just covered with dowels. i will show the progress, starting tomorrow, i have deck roofs already finished, so there will be probably same approach just adjusted to smaller timbers. 3 mm on my case . ..but i would not bother for roof probably... is he mentioning that as well please? gosh i sould have bought that book really. but i am affraid i would rework that ship 3rd time so better not have fine weekend Vlad

Good moorning folks, i have question to ask pelase .im about to plank deck of cutty sark i have log on this forum....have most of it fugured out but what I did not run to is what pattern would possibly be treenail on deck planks. i dont have books about cutty but it would help immensely if someone knows what pattern 1850 english vessels made at joint butt and in sections. if two nails parallel-even like this : or off / angled. like this l:l vs l. 'l l. 'l l. 'l thanks a lot in advance. Vladimir

Silverman , i just made knees for lifeboat and found quite easy way toovercome grain direction. i would definitely go for 4 way. im not sure how small your knees are be it miniature i just draw knees on 3 mm cherry pannel wood, and drilled holes along curvy sides . them i easily cut outer straight sides out. then i start gently removing wood towards holes on unparallel leg of the knee up to the 2/3 towards knee center and when done just cut alongside holes on other leg of knee. as grain runs there alongside holes it cuts quickly. probably not celarly explained i should add pics later. happy build.

Many Thanks for encouragement Everyone. i dug into deck planking, in my case Cutty one yesterday. unfortunately i do not posses a book from Mr. Longridge about cutty and model but he states planks would be in my case about 20 cm long and I have also a laydown pattern. Campbell provides width. i am about to lay 1 mm thick ones, and 5 and 3/4 " - so i will use 6 mm wide lime planks. pretty big huh? not settled with caulking yet but i am about to try first how both metods turn out - pencil or black paper. i have nice auite thick one.... or i guess it will be both sides penciled as those planks are enough wide for thicker caulk i guess... i would prefer pencil as quicker labor i guess but i am not hurrying. not sure what looks more oomph... if anyone has any own trick or so i would love to learn. i speculate how i lay king plank straight and omit deckhouse so i can spare some wood but i smell accident that i would like to avoid. any small misalignment will pay dearly i guess . just a queation pls would you go for tree nailing being it your place ?:) good modeling to everyone .
