Lovely work on all the scores needed in the beams for the carlings. -
I believe that painted canvas was also used over roofs.
-
Nicely interpreted from the photos, Dan. Glad to read that things are improving for you.
-
The cut-outs are both bravely and well done, Mark! I well can imagine your hesitance.
-
Just found this build log. Very impressive and educational as to the details of construction as compared to other countries' systems.
-
Looking great so far!
-
Well! That's a different approach. Well done!

Welcome aboard indeed! 31 years so far on your model? Good things take time.

No, you are not having a senior moment! It would be difficult to do, as only the 'dead flat' in the end-on elevation drawing is given. Yes, you have the sheer (in elevation) and half-breadth (in plan) as well, but that tells you nothing about the changing sectional shapes. They may be inferred from the planking runs - if accurately drawn - but that is a s much as one can squeeze out of that plan. Perhaps a similar lifeboat drawing that has the station sections might help.

Impresssive woudld be an understatement, Rob. Wow!

Excellent! Could not see them in the other photo. Glad you included these.

That's the general idea, Toni. There would also be sacrificial blocks of wood on the rail to protect it. However, there is one drawback: it would be tricky to get the anchor past the fore channel, deadeyes and laniards. I think that the chain would be secured to an eyebolt inside the bulwark with a hook on the 'free' end that engages a second eyebolt inside. Call in the Time Machine to be really sure!

Nice castings and finish, Toni! There may well have been a shankpainter chain used to secure the anchor, rather than the anchor lovingly hugging the swivel mount. It would be about in line with the aft end of the billboard/lining. This would raise the anchor shank parallel to the rail and the stock should then clear the water.

Welcome, Jack, from another Ontarian.

While your clamping process will work, I still prefer a plaster outer jacket for stability of the mold - especially during a 'pour'!

Terrifying Velocity, perhaps. Perhaps not, Waldemar....

Is that not 'T V'?

Those 48 pounders are shock and awe pieces!

There are two versions of this book. The earlier edition gives both French and Dutch practice as well as English, but the later one covers only English rigging.

Do read (or re-read) the planking primers on this site! They explain and show you how to do this really well.

Lovely and delicate looking, Greg. Are you going to lash the burton pendants to the shrouds?
-
Absolutely delightful, Ab and Emiel! Thank you for sharing these. A limited edition book would be great.
