The Admiral bought me Volume 1 in an old book shop in Greenwich U.K. for £75.00 about 16 years ago.
The other 3 Volumes, I was lucky to buy from Amazon at a very good price over the years.

I used Maple for the deck planking on my Xebec build.
It`s a very nice wood to work.

This is the way I bend my planks.
Bending 4x1mm cherry over a home made plank bender.
The planks are placed in cold water for about 10 minutes, then taken out of the water and then placed over the hot plank bender and worked to the shape you require.
Use the water as frquently as required.
Kind Regards

The way I tension my blades is to tighten the blade with the tension knob until you can flick your finger on the blade and get a clear ting from the blade.
Hope this makes sense

Hi John
All I worked with was a set of drawings and everything was scratch built.
The carvings were my own design and were carved from box wood.
To loosen the grating area, try lifting the glued wood with a scalpel, But be very gentle.
Good luck
