Hi,
Another day of ups and downs. I cut the flat futtocks and used the scroll saw to cut the guides for the keel and keelson slots
Then used a flat carving knife to cut the excess and prepare the pieces for the mill so I have nice squared, flat surfaces
And after the mill
Next phase was the chocks, I cut the edges for the first two of the "C" frame
But was can be seen the one on the left suffered a fatal accident. I was cutting the angled face with a x-acto blade and because I was cutting parallel to the wood grain it just cut the egde off. Basic mistake...
I still used the other edge to make the other chock
It came out better then I was expecting for the first one
Now to redo the flat futtock...

Anguirel got a reaction from Canute in What is the function of this line to the gun carriage on Triton?
Hi,
Looking at the book "The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War" by Brian Lavern the port tackle (in the book it's called Gun Tackle was used to run the guns out. it was fixed to the side of the gun carriage thought a eyebolt or ringbolt. To the hull it was fixed on the eyebolt above the eyebolt of the breech rope. The train tackle was similar to the gun tackle, except that it was fixed between the gun and a ringbolt near the centre line of the ship. The train tackle was used to keep the gun in place when reloading.
According to the same book there where several problems with traversing the guns from side to side: the narrowness of the gun port, the fact that the gun carriage wheels only went back or forward and the effectiveness of the side tackles was limited due to the position of the ringbolts on the ship's side. So the crew was expected to manoeuvre the guns using crows and hand spikes.
Hope that helps

Hi
The line relieving tackle (5) went to the rear eyebolt and it was used to run the gun back for loading. It would be attached most of the time but not in the configuration shown in the image. Most of the time the guns would be secured for sea. They would only be in that position during actions.
If you want more information about how the guns were operated see this link http://www.navyandmarine.org/ondeck/1800gundrill.htm

Hi
Found some information on the TFFM and decided to take the plunge. Used Kevin Kenny's idea and build a gig with the different sizes of the chocks and the futtock
The floor futtocks are glued to the boxwood and ready to cut...
Time is limited let's see if I can finish them today.
Thanks

Hi,
After a brief pause to make a Christmas present I'm back on the Triton. I has planing on doing the frames with chocks but I can't find dimensions anywhere. I've looked in Goodwin and The Fully Framed Model volume one and although in the first there is a detailed description of the futtock there is nothing on the chocks. On the TFFM there is a detail description on how to make the chocks but they are in the planes so there is no information on there dimensions. I looked in all logs of the cross section here at the Forum (as well as the full build) and no one used chocks in there respective builds. Iwas going through the full build planes and I did find one sheet titled "Chocks @48:1" is this where the dimensions of the chocks are? Are they all the same size independent of the size of the frame? And are the planes only showing half the chocks?
Thanks

Hi Chad,
Thanks for posting this again, I already learned a lot...
Just one question about the treenails, I have looked in the other logs but I can't find one where the wales were treenailed (maybe difficult to see it he images?). In the case of your wales (and some others) you used ebony. In that case the treenails should be made of ebony as well, right? How difficult it will be to make the treenails with the method you used?
Thanks.
