I've never used a plank bending tool, Troy (I steam my planks), but if they're breaking with just a little pressure it sounds like the wood is extremely brittle. You could try soaking them in boiling water for a few minutes and see if that makes any difference. John -
Rob, as far as I'm aware, the studdingsail yards were stowed with the sails. John

Malas, at the mast head there is either a collar (a step in the mast) cut in at the height of the shrouds and forestay, or small thumb cleats fixed to the mast at this height. John

G'day Paul, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That looks like work on your longboat. John

More delightful work, Keith. Those pad eyes down aft look like they're made for some pretty heavy duty work. One could almost take them for towing brackets except this is a yacht and there aren't any towing leads near the one you show. Is there anything large and heavy in the vicinity that would need some serious lashing down? John

A great job - especially on your first wooden model. Congratulations! John

Hello Sparky and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That model looks like it's got a lot of character and would be well worth restoring. John

Nice to see you progressing, Gary. That looks a very nice pair of hard working otter boards. John

What is a jewel iron and what does it look like?
Jim Lad replied to Roger Fyre's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
The jewel blocks were usually either suspended from a bolt driven into the end of the stunsail boom or secured with a grommet, but there may have been a more sophisticated fitting on this ship. As Mark says, a picture would help. John
