Chocks for futtocks
Alex M replied to allanyed's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I was relatively sure that choks are first used after introduction of double/single frame system after around 1710. Before them floors and futtoks are just overlapped. does you known this thesis? https://nautarch.tamu.edu/Theses/abstracts/batchvarov.html Regards Alex -

Are you sure that Falconer show breeching rope in his drawing? It is too thin to be a breeching rope. I think, he show an extra Tackle used to held the gun in position. D. Steel show a cut splice in his drawings and I think, it is only right methode to bring the breeching rope aroung the cascable of the gun. Regards Alex

Plank length for longboats
Alex M replied to tkay11's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hi Tony, Fincham states that the planks from foreign oak are up to 42 feet long. That are planks for ships bottom. Planks for boats have smaller thickness and width, so I think more length was also possible. Alex -
Hello Mark, here a better image of the setup and drawing showing the duplicator principle. I have changed this afterwards and turned the cannon pattern. Important: the width of cutting tool and taster should be the same, then you will be able to cut rings from both sides. Alex

I'm out of words... it is simply WOW! The planksheer looks terrific! Alex -
Many thanks for warm words! Oh yes Greg, treenailing! I'm not sure how to process with. The Quarter deck and Forecastle have less dimensioned beams and the distance between is less that on the Gundeck. If I use the usualy treenail schema with two nails on each beam then, I suppose, it will be too much. I will play with photoshop to see how this will looks: Alex

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.
