William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I see the centers of the radii nicely plotted now. in a straight line. But, Waldemar, how did you go about generating the hollowing curves? -
William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
In the last example, the lower defining line of the conoid is clearly seen in the elevation/sheer plan. I cannot see where the designer defined the arc radii, though. The spread of these in body plan are only implied by your superimposed circles. As you point out, the floor/hollowings are rather fanciful! -
Th figure looks very good, but the lettering on the nameboard is far too modern, if you don't mind my saying so.

Ultimation Model Slicer Anyone?
druxey replied to Bill Jackson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
The demo video looks good and this obviously works well within limits of size on what appears to be basswood. It might not work as well with hardwoods. It really will depend on what applications you might need this for. -
William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Tangent points make more sense than tangent lines for replicability. However (particularly aft) the positioning of the template or mould leaves quite a bit open to interpretation as shown above. -
Eight hours? You obviously having staying power. (Sorry, couldn't resist that!)

Work bench width and height - any recommendations?
druxey replied to Dr PR's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
So much advice already, but ask yourself whether you'll be mainly sitting or standing. If sitting, what height is the chair? Is it adjustable in height? And, most important, what is you own height and reach? -

Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Pett's 'method' was quite simple and elegant. Unfortunately his methods were lost, and only recently discovered, as he died before writing about them. -

Moneypenny and Antscherl, A Restoration Yacht’s Design Secrets Revealed, Mariners Mirror, Volume 107, Issue 2, May 2021. Yes, Hubac, the model in the photo is the result of the article quoted. No fudging required at the bow! -
Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I can't reproduce research from Mariner's Mirror here, but Phineas Pett in the 1670's and 80's had developed a sophisticated method of designing a fair hull - stem to stern - using arcs and a cono-cuneus curve. These were all proportional to the length of keel and moulded breadth. Here is a hull (work in progress) developed by this method: -
Well done for making the correction! The dolphins thank you as well.

It is a fascinating rabbit hole down which to wander! -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
