AON changed their profile photo -
Working on the installation of some exterior hull planking above the main wales. Two rows of "thick stuff upon the wales". First row 6-1/2" thick, second row 5-1/2 inches thick. Now working on 3 rows of 4 inch thick planking above that. One row installed. Thought it best to get this on while I can still use my 4" bar clamps through the gunports. If I attempt this after the main deck is installed I'd be in trouble. Turns out it was a lucky thing I had to tear that deck out earlier.

Having done some for the MSON, I feel for you and the massive quantity of videos you've committed to indexing, but rest assured that everyone using them will appreciate the work. I hope you haven't committed to a deadline!

I would think a video log is better than any memory to allow you to physically see how you did something months or years ago!

Good evening Doug. I thought I'd watch you, learn and possibly try something easy .... but it looks like there might not be anything easy about ships in a bottle! I might try a submerged submarine! 😃 You must have one very steady hand. Alan -
Correct.
-
I could belive one side was for the Captain and the other side for supernumaries but not necessarily a door inside vs. the other outside.
-
Odd... 9" versus 10"... to save weight. They would start with 10" and spend extra time cutting away 1"!?. The half span is where the strength is needed, not at the ends.... unless it had to do with wood rot.
-
Interesting! Thanks.
-
it seems to be attached to the backside of the ladder, behind the closed stringer at the bottom. I put an arrow on the photo to point it out.

Silly but practical! 🤣

I am presently installing the two strakes above the main wale, cutting my notches in the gun deck beams for the carlings, and trying to plan how much of the hull exterior I will leave exposed.... and the lights went on. Finally! About two years ago I struggled to complete the counter timbers at the stern (posting #1512 on Feb 21 2023). Something didn't make sense and I just couldn't put my finger on it. I followed the detailed instructions I'd found in a reference book but the balcony seemed quite shallow. The quarter galleries had two doors on each side at the upper level. Why would they need two doorways into the one toilet facility? I discovered that all my counter timbers above the quarterdeck elevation need to be cut off. The wall (bulkhead) is set back between the two doors making the balcony deeper (less shallow). You can see it in RED in this image below. I followed the wrong example. Sad thing is Garyshipwright had showed me the proper assembly in his posting #1422 of Oct 2022 and I couldn't see the "forest for the trees". Sorry about that! I'm going to leave it for a bit yet but it will get cropped by the time I install the quarterdeck beams I still don't see why the officers needed the separate access from the balcony to use the facility. Couldn't they just take a few extra steps? There is always something new to learn.

Good morning Kevin. May I ask, what is the item behind the closed stringers at the elevation of the lower three treads just above the deck? Alan
