yamsterman got a reaction from alde in Washington 1777 by Pirate adam - 1:48 scale - Galley - POF June 26, 2018

hi adam
nice work so far!
just be careful with some of those drift bolts on the forward and aft frames......some of the frame drawings dont show any bolt locations.....if youre tempted to put them in you may find them getting a tad close to the frame edges when you come to fair the hull.......or it could just be my build!!!!!
shall be following avidly

cheers....mick

hi greg
thanks for stopping by. yes opening for rudder does need to be opened up......but i was leaving that until the rudder was made.....after the wales go on and before any further work goes on internally......should be too onerous a job ,plenty of room to work!

washington galley part 7.....stern framing

hi all
been a busy little bee making frames.
the aft most gunport has now been framed. all frames have been left slightly over length....i will mark in the sheer and trim the frames at a later date.

you will see from the photos that i have been trying to ensure as much accuracy as possible.

however the top of the lower starboard gunport sill is approx 0.28mm lower than the port sill.

in my book this is accurate enough! im not sure what tolerances the original shipwrights would have worked too but this difference equates to about 1/2 inch in real life.

ive also now started to construct the first two half frames at the bow.
you can see from the photos how much offset there is between the front and rear components of the frame.....the bevel when cut will bled all of that in.

i have also ganged up ablock of 1/8 inch stock ready to cut the hawse pieces at a later date.

anyway photos enclosed for your perusal...comments....critiques....most welcome

cheers....mick
