Very good planking, Lee!
I find a clinker hull easier to plank than a carvel one....How many clinked hulls you have build? Can you show us fotos?

Hi druxey,
I assume, that those technical drawings show the actual shipyard practice.

I'm sorry if this make you less happy, but the whole is more complicate, as far as I know...
The garboard plank was beveled in mostly cases to match the rabbet. As clearly shown in those drawings:

here the later practice:

and here a couple of frame drawings that show tre rabbet and garboard planks:

Hello,
the work continues with the gratings and coamings of the quarter deck, and ladder way to gun deck. In this case the gratings should look like "real" and have proper thickness and shape. Follow images show the process. First the upper edge of the block was shaped on this jig:
then cuts are done on tablesaw:
then strips are glued and the whole was sanded again in the jig:
Coamings are build around gratings, ladder way and coaming added:
All is dry fitted now.

Hi Lextin,
I would screw two or three 2x2 inch boards of hard wood (oak as example) to the underside of table. You can also glue them all together before them. Important: bound boards tight all together with ratchet straps before screwing. I have one very similar to yours in my basement as workbench, is very solid and stable.

Hi Lee,
looks very good! It's a lovely little and fine model!
According to beams: I would highly recommend to cut them instead of bending. It's not soo much more work. Otherwise this can end with bad surprises later... Now it's a state where you can avoid some problems.Alex

Hi Mark,
I know what you mean, it looks really odd and unusual. But doing this to show two ways of planking the wale, is probably an idea, if also a little odd
Alex

That is a very fine drawings, Mark! A warm welcome and have fun
:D
:D
the buts of two plank rows of main wale aft of main mast - shift the lower one further aft...

Hi Greg and thanks!

Hi Chuck, excellent planking job! Very clear and smooth!
Christian, I'm not Chuck, sorry, but if you look at the image with red painted counter in Chuck's previous post, you will notice a small step between them and tuck. The tuck will be planked later, and all will follow the plan. Very smart solution, Chuck!
