My condolences on the loss of your favorite drill bit. Certainly outlived its expected life span, though. Glad the flag locker will now work out for you. -
Perhaps he was drunk?
-
Looking very nice, Mark. Thank goodness there's a bit of wiggle room to even out that channel wale if you need to!

Iron Band at the Heel of Masts
druxey replied to Doug McKenzie's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
If it's not a gronicle, then it's a thrupple nut. Sorry, Bob; but Steel defines 'mast hoops' as follows (Rigging and Seamanship, 1794, Volume I, page 6): HOOPS are strong circles of iron driven on masts and yards. Hoops are also as Bob describes. -
Very nicely done!

Mast hoops. -
"...he chortled in his joy! " New coping blades indeed! You have a good lady there, Steven. My own, bless her, wouldn't know a coping saw blade from a jeweler's saw blade.

Glad the change worked out for you, Andy. That detail make all the difference.

Another small wonder on the way! Lovely work as ever, Javier.

Very impressive that you can get such a high level of repetition using a Dremel. Thanks for explaining.
-
Bien fait, monsieur! Very neat work. What techniques do you use to create those small repetitive parts?

Card rather than plastic mullions, perhaps?

It is believed that the Newton Manuscript dates from a little later: about 1625.

Fairing on the fly! The photo with the clothes peg shows me how small your model actually is.

Actually the Melampus model does show certain lines that are of a later date than the ship. This may be a result of restoration rather than lack of accuracy of recording on Petersson's part.

Sorry about your unglück, Dafi. But congratulations on your new jungle - I mean, workshop! It always takes time to relocate everything in a new setting and hope you enjoy your new space.
-
I think, depending on era and country, this varied. You'd probably be safe to go with your assumption. However, usually the garboard widened as it neared the stern post.

The Swan class plans show the open hearts rigged with a slightly longer collar than Peterssen's drawing, but I would not characterize them as being 'in air'. Attached is a photo of a modern model from about 1770. The slightly longer legs to the collar give lateral clearance to the jibboom.

Welcome and dobri!

Interestingly, Shag Rock is now a popular diving site: Dive Site: Shag Rock Location: Mountbatten, Plymouth Sound Description: Reef Depth: 16 metres (50 feet) Visibility: 25 metres (82 feet) Rating: **** This reef can be reached by RIB from Fort Bovisand. The dive was done at the end of May with fantastic vis in gin clear water. The stony seabed is a mixture of green and purple pebbles with perfect seaweed gullies that could be straight from a fish tank. Marine life includes dogfish, rays, wrasse and crabs.
