allanyed got a reaction from alangr4 in New Scantling book announced by Seawatch books
Thanks for the cudos guys. I sent a note to Bob at Seawatch last night as there is an error on the website. The blurb states tables from the various sources, including the 1715 Establishment. That should read the 1719 Establishment. It has a table with the 1719, 1745 (and 1750 changes to the 1745) in one set of tables and the Shipbuilder's Repository and MOST of the Elements and Practices tables by Steel. It does not have the merchant navy dimensions given in Steel but it does include separate tables with scantlings for boats and another for anchors.

Please let us know your name, it is much nice than addressing you with nothing or with three letters
The attached is from the original cross section of Euryalus (1803) when she lay in ordinary in 1815 going through a refit.

allanyed got a reaction from WackoWolf in Best place to buy scale wood?
Jeff at the Hobby Mill is providing a heck of a great service to those that need precut wood and I would use his service if I did not have a plainer and thickness sander in my little shop at home.
If you can start with rough cut pieces, two other suppliers from whom I have purchased wood over the years and recommend are Exotic Woods in Burlington Ontario (bought from them at their place when driving to Toronto) or Gilmer Woods in Portland Oregon which was strictly by internet and mail. Over the years the savings of sizing my own wood has more than paid for the plainer and thickness sander.

Ed,
You continue to amaze. Treenailing is good to get one into a meditative state. Sort of like zoning out while driving and you have no recollection whatsoever of the previous 10 or 20 km. You look at the hull and think, when did I put in those last 100 treenails???? I WISH it was like that.

Daniel,
It appears that Rob is following the drawings closely.
Attached are sections from the original plans for Blanche, Euryalus, et al. the aft magazine is indeed quite a small space.

In addition to the fantastic build itself, your photos are showing some very nice detail on the jig set ups and much appreciated. Small, simple, and used to good effect.

allanyed got a reaction from jchbeiner in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
Alan,
The frames were beveled inboard and outboard so there was a fair line running from stem to stern and to give a flat surface on which to fay the strakes of planking. Your picture on the right is the what you need to achieve. As you get nearer the bow and stern, the beveling was extreme before cant frames became the norm early in the 18th century.
The green line on the stern looks odd to me. What does this represent?
Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Maybe the following will help a bit. It has the scantlings from the Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture, SR and the Elephant contract.

I agree with Mark, the aft magazine was not a filling room, it is an area for racks for cartridges filled in the filling room forward. From there they can be more easily provided to the aft guns than bringing them from the forward magazine, especially in time of battle.

allanyed got a reaction from WackoWolf in Edge bending planks
Hi Augie,
If you bend the wood first, as with your jig, is it difficult to mark and taper each piece? The taper is not a constant from widest portion to narrowest, and each plank ends at a different point along the length of the hull so each piece has to be shaped slightly differently. The jig would have to be modified quite a few times as the curve changes for every strake, especially at the bow. I would think it is much more difficult and time consuming to mark and shape the taper on a prebent plank even if you do not modify the shape of the jig more than a few times as the planking goes on.
In the end, whatever works well is a good thing!

allanyed got a reaction from russ in Edge bending planks
If the wood is soft and wet you can slightly bend (edge set) and it will stay in that shape when dry. Harder woods cannot be easily edge set and will lift.
There are several write ups on this site on planking, including spiling. Why fight the wood when you can cut it to the shape that will allow it to lay without trying to fight the wood?

allanyed got a reaction from maurino in Lettie G Howard by maurino - FINISHED - fishing schooner
Ciao Mauro,
Your Lettie Howard is looking very nice. Do not forget to scrape a little of the paint on the bulkheads when you glue on the bulkhead stanchions so the glue gets into the wood. .
Are you going to include the foretop mast or leave it off as she is rigged today?
Thank you for posting the photos.

Your attention to the smallest detail is what puts you on a different level. Most builders are not even aware of the details to which you have paid attention, let alone incorporate them into the build.

allanyed got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in Brook in the book "The Naval Cutter Alert" by P. Goodwin
Robert,
The breech rope does appear that it will cause the rings to flip and jam the rope. It is also highly unlikely that the running tackle on cannon on a cutter, would have a double and single block on each side. Two singles on each side were the norm except on 32 pounders according to the History of British Sea Ordinance 1523 to 1875 Volume II, by Adriana Caruana.
