A text that inexplicably translates itself? very strange, indeed...

Hallo Unterstützer,

Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie ihr den Bau der Bugfestung lösen werdet. Da ich derzeit an einer ähnlichen Rekonstruktion arbeite, interessiert mich insbesondere die Konstruktion des über den Bug hinausragenden Galions im Hinblick auf Deckbalken und Seitenwandanbindung. Balkweger (ich kenne den englischen Namen nicht) sind dort nicht möglich.

Do the inventory lists say anything about what type of guns in the bow fort were?

In many contemporary images of carracks, the gun barrels look as if they could be rotating bases, i.e. cannons mounted in fork mounts. such would allow downward shots.

I also think that the longbow was the far more effective weapon in this era, and an elevated shooting position was an advantage.

Should boarding the enemy over the shrouds be reconsidered instead of jumping into the depths?

...but I'm not a warrior.

Thank you very much, but now that I know the password again, a new one is actually no longer necessary.

Best regards

The large font appears automatically when inserting. I would change it, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. 

why it happened now...I have no idea.

Alvb

oh, I'm very sorry if I gave you the impression of being aggressive, hurtful or unkind. That was never my intention.
If I appeared like that, I sincerely apologize.

I definitely tried to follow James approach to solving the problem, but in everything I did I came to dead ends. It always ends with messages like: This email address or this display name is already being used by another user. Please try again.
Or: if we can assign your address, you will receive an email to reset your password. Only no email followed.

I'm sorry and I ask you to accept my apology.

Alvb

I remembered the password.
But I have to inform you that I have tried the usual "forgotten password" method several times in the past without success. I suspect that if I hadn't remembered, I would never have come in here again.

Guys, I forgot my password but I want to log in with my new phone. Unfortunately I don't receive any email after I click on "Forgot password".

What could be the reason? Please help. 

Thanks 🙂

@Apxeos@Apxeos.    I'll blow away some dust. Are there any plan drawings for your design? greeting

Are battens placed over all seams?

I like the somewhat irregular, not absolutely accurate. It is alive and natural. There is the craft that was shipbuilding again. Not the engineering of today

My respect

Looking at Figures 1 and 10 in Post #48 and assuming that baker's wide planks are correctly routed, I don't think that too narrow plank ends at the bow should be avoided here.

Would planks that end half as wide really be narrower than the ones underneath?

I think that back then all the planks were unique. Adapted to the situation and determined by the existing timber. 

So there is no particular need to attach an oversized plank at this point t. 

It just happened that way during the construction process.

Alvb

What can I imagine under a joggle plank? 

Can you give me the dimensions of the mainsail so I can get an idea.

Alvb

What exactly is your question for the halyards? 

Alvb

For this Era I would assume triangular or pear shaped deadeyes. 

Alvb

Sorry I replied in English. 

The fact that this text appeared in German must have been caused by an unintentional operating error. 

Alvb

Better

Warum ist der Text so groß

Frühe Galeonen, deren Seitenwände mehr zum Heck hin eingezogen waren, konnten die Deadeyes der Besanwanten an den Walen fixieren, ohne die Seitenwand zu berühren.

noch etwas verwundert mich.
Die Deadeyirons am Haupt- und Vormast enden nicht in Wales.

Das weiß ich bis jetzt nicht.

Děkuji mnohokrát

hallo.

how did you glued the plates for the deadeyes for machining at once.
