Yes, I've seen left handed ones online, but they are extremely expensive.

William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
There were other strange - to us - underwater body shapes. Another example is Inspector of 1782: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Ship_plans_of_the_Royal_Museums_Greenwich&filefrom=INFERNAL+1815+RMG+J7573.png#/media/File:Inspector_(1782)_RMG_J4476.png showing the hydrodynamic lateral fins in the aft body. It was not repeated, so presumably was not successful in controlling roll. -

So, some corrections were needed to make the hull fair. No big surprise! Thank you for the demonstration, Waldemar. -
Sorry to read that the lurgy (pronounced with a hard 'g') laid you low despite the vaccines, Ron. Hopefully all will continue well for you now. The model is really taking on life: I can't wait to see her heeled slightly in her sea!

druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Pretty obvious which might be a more fair set of lines. It would be interesting to run diagonals or waterlines to see which had a better 'flow' without tweaking! -

It is certainly a fascinating study! -
Deck planking plans
druxey replied to KingDavid's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Also note the top and butt strakes in the way of the guns. These have a different butt pattern! -
3,000 Year Old Boat Discovered in Wisconsin, USA

Remarkable! Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Mark. -
William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Thank you, Waldemar, for demonstrating the rest of the (re)construction. It is similar to the 'propositions' in the Newton manuscript. -
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? -

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!)

The pair of openings on the fore end of the quarter deck are for the top tackle when rigged. Otherwise, gratings or solid covers were placed over them.

Looking good, so far, Bob. Planking worked out well.

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.
