Be happy it's not a three decker! -
Steel, alas, is silent on upper deck port stops. Presumably they are similar to those on the lower deck. (Middle deck stops are as for the lower deck on three deckers.)

Beginner tooling list
druxey replied to Paul Gardner's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
One can never have enough storage, Paul. Shelves and drawers fill quickly! (Shallow drawers are more efficient.) I see you have a window with good natural light. If you are planning to work daytime, a bench on that side might be a good thought. I assume this will be only a summer-time activity. If not, insulation and heating will be considerations as well. -
Great progress! She is looking more and mroe impressive.

Almost 30 Years since my last build!
druxey replied to Todd Hart's topic in New member Introductions
Some of us worked on dining room tables for years. I did from about 1966 to 1998! -
Welcome. At least you didn't have toxic old batteries fuzzing inside to deal with!

The extension to the standard does run up in a similar curve to the lower rail. It extends right up to the top of the hair bracket scroll. Behind the figure there are three solid layers; the two hair brackets on the outside sandwiching the extension piece. See my sketch superimposed on your drawing as an approximation.

Mark: interesting comments. I interpret the pen and ink picture as a transitional stern, where the round tuck was still being figured out by the shipwrights. I can see that the Lely is ambiguous; as first glance it appears to be a square tuck, but on closer examination it seems to also be transitional like the drawing - especially on the port side.

If you are an experienced carver (and from your description, you are) I can see where you are coming from. Letting your subconscious work on a problem and the ability to visualize are not talents most of us have. For lesser mortals....

You are a braver man than I, Hubac. I always carve the head and face first, not last. That way, should I mess up, I haven't wasted time and effort of the rest of the piece. So far, your twins are looking very good.

Thanks for today's smile, Andy!

You appear to be having altogether too much fun. Bien fait, monsieur!

Water looks great, but perhaps even better with a bigger area of sea around the model?
-
Just catching up on your progress! That's one busy bowsprit. Well done.
-
I suppose that you could move the lower rail aft end inward a little more to increase the curve of that aft head timber.
-
Mark: try this modification of the middle rail placement and repositioning of the seat/chutes.

The 'flattened' shapes of planks are not usually straight on one edge, except for the garboard. Here's an example of the lowest few strakes of a fairly simple hull. These were figured out using the planking method in the tutorial by David Antscherl

I have seen sheer poles on a contemporary model of 1752, so they were introduced much earlier than Lees suggests. In this case, the shroud sheer pole is more of a rack as it actually carries belaying pins. See: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66296.html

Looking good, Tom. Glad the book is working for you.
