yamsterman got a reaction from mtaylor in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
Hi Bob
Many thanks. I did look inthe swan practicum books but the info was for 6 pounders and quoted as " the length should be 3 times the length of the guns bore and 4 inches in circumference which equates to approx 1 1/4 inches in diameter". The guns for triton are 9 lbs if I remember rightly with a bore of 4 inches? So the breeching rope is 0.95 of 4 inches? Almost 4 inches then , so if I make the diameter 1 1\2 inchesi shouldn't be too far of the mark? I hope!
Thanks for the quick reply Bob
Cheers.....mick

yamsterman got a reaction from robin b in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
hi all
just a quick update to show current progress.
pretty much finished with the majority of the woodworking just got to make the various ladders and gun carriages.
ordered some brass canons from rb models in poland as ive just got rid of my cheap chinese made lathe.
considering purchasing a peatol/taig , reviews seem good, any thoughts?
metal work for the gangboard supports , stanchions for entry ropes and stanchions for gangboard rails are made and blackened but not overly happy with the blackening process so they will be cleaned off and redone.
cheers.....mick

yamsterman got a reaction from gieb8688 in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
hi all
been beavering away,inbetween getting the sloop finished, and have managed to get some more done on the cross section.
external planking above the whale completed in pyrenean boxwood , treenials in castello box.
internal bulwarks planking also done in satine bloodwood. treenails in pear. i was going to use pink ivory but the darn stuff has so much interlocked and wavy grain its bloomin difficult to thickness by hand , no matter how sharp the plane.
i think im trying to justify buying jims thickness sander!!!!
currently in the process of cutting some holly for the external planking below the whale.
bits built ready to be installed.
deck hatches built and gratings fitted.
any and all comments welcome!!!!!!!
p.s. the last photo shows what happens if you dont think ahead.having glued everthing together feeling quite pleased with myself it came time to trial fit the bits............doh!!!.......wheres the isopropanol!!

Hi fellows!!
I noticed that some of my photos are missing so I uploaded them again... for those who look into that log
This time I have small update as well... anchors (brass cut out from sheet using water-jet)
They still need final polish.
Also... 800kg of pear wood
Not much this time... but I'll try more next time
Cheers,
Matt

hi all
just a small update on tritons progress.
been waiting for some chakte kok timber to turn up so i can progress the gun carriages.
its finally arrived some work can commence.
decided to put my small mill/drill though its paces and make the ladders from 1mm pear.
gun brackets and various other components from chakte kok.
now the fun starts with all those tiny little bits and pieces!!!

Hi chuck
Thanks for the likes. I will more than likely be ordering the rigging material from you. Thanks for the offer with the laser cutting but I'm trying to make this as scratch built as possible! I will even have a go at making the blocks. Armament I had to order from you along with the plans as I'm between lathes at the moment. Looking forward to part three.....if I can get my planking half as good as yours I shall be well pleased.
Finally just a thank you for all your hard work in making the plans and fittings available as well as taking the time to write a practicum.
Cheers....mick

HI ALL
TIME FOR THE FUN TO START. PURCHASED CHUCKS PLANS AND TURNED BRASS CARRONADES/CANNON JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS.
USUAL EXCELLENT QUALITY SERVICE FROM CHUCK.
HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH CHUCKS BUILD BUT I DOUBT IF I CAN COMPARE WITH THE MASTER!!!
BUILD SEQUENCE WILL BASICALLY FOLLOW CHUCKS POSTS .
HOWEVER INSTEAD OF USING CASTELLO BOX I WILL BE USING SWISS PEAR AND EBONY FOR ANYTHING PAINTED BLACK IE WALES ,BULWARK CAPPING ETC.
I MAY EVEN USE SOME PINK IVORY FOR SOME STRUCTURES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PAINTED RED OCHRE, BUT THAT MAY CHANGE AS MY LAST EXPERIMENTS WITH PINK IVORY WERE NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL.
WORK HAS ALREADY STARTED ON BASIC COMPONENTS, HAVING PHOTOCOPIED THE RELAVANT BITS OF THE PLANS ( SORRY CHUCK I KNOW YOUR PLANS SAY NO COPYING BUT ITS PURELY FOR MY OWN USE AND I COUNDNT BRING MYSELF TO CUT INTO THE PLANS!!) THEY WERE PASTED ONTO 1/4 BIRCH PLY AND CUT OUT.
BEARING IN MIND I DONT OWN A SCROLL SAW AND IF I DID IT WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN THE GARAGE,TOO COLD TO WORK OUT THERE THIS TIME OF YEAR!,THE COMPONENTS WERE ROUGHED OUT WITH A 10 INCH BAND SAW AND THEN SANDED/FILED TO SHAPE.
THE ENCLOSED PHOTOS SHOULD SHOW CURRENT PROGRESS. WORK WONT COMMENCE UNTIL IVE FINISHED THE TRITON CROSS SECTION, I DONT HAVE THE SPACE UNFORTUNATELY FOR TWO CON CURRENT BUILDS.

Hi cnemo
Chucks dimensions are in inch's which I will try and follow. However most of the timber I buy is in mm .so it can be a pain trying to reconcile the two....usually ends up in a fair amount of planing and sanding!
