  1. Thanks, I will draw the situation and show it. If I understand everything right I have to change the build sequence. I must install the transoms first; than I can install the keelson knee / sternson followed by the cant frames.
  2. Thanks Ed and druxey. I have to look, how to do this part. The deadwood and transoms will be much more complicated at my sloop than expected.
  3. During the work on the Deadwood, I found an interesting detail on the original drawing. David wrote in his book, that the knee will end under the lower filling transom. If I interpret the line right, it looks that the knee also sits in front of and under the other transoms. Is it possible, that this part looks similiar to the keelson or the stemson? Or show the drawing smaller parts of timber which are sitting only under the transoms? Perhaps someone can help me how to interpret the line correct.
  4. Simon, very nice build. If you cut the parts of the components for the stem, you have to look to the grain of the wood. It should be always in the longitudinal direction of the part and not perpendicular as seen on your stem. Take this for the future and don't changeit on your model, after coppering not much will be seen from this.
  5. It's looking really great. I am happy with yo that your resue of your build works so well.
  6. I think a combination of both timbers must look great. Frames in pear or cherry and the planking in cedar
  7. The second year of my build is almost over. Not much progress this year, but I hope that I can post a last update at New Year's Eve. It's time to say Thank You to all who followed my log, to all who wrote their own log I where I found so much hints and inspiration and to the crew of this wonderful forum for their great job..
  8. Wow, that looks like a very interesting project. I will follow with interest.
  9. Thanks for sharing the videos of your build. They are a great help. I wish you and your family a Mery Christmas and a Happy New Year.
  10. I normaly use treenails. I put them in before installing the frames. I am not sure if brass or copper wire will work in the same way. But it's easy to test. Cut one futtock a little bit oversized. Put it some wire and treenails and sand them to the correct size. So you will see if your idea´and material work as exspected.
  11. Anguriel, looks really good. I think it is very helpful to let a little bit more timber on both sides of the frame. So you can sand the whole section in one step and egalize small differences without makeing the frames to small durig this step.
  12. Kevin, thanks that you brought these details with your small mistake back in my mind. I hope that my rising wood will help me to place the frames accuratly.
  13. Maury, fantastic. I like your log very much. Your model shows a small harbor vessel, where I don't have much knowledge. So it's very interesting to see, how your model grows.
  14. Welcome on the Triton Shipyards. I wish you a lot of fun with your build
