Recommended Posts

It took a longer time to finish the construction of the deadwood.

The last part of the backbone is the Stern, consisting of the Inner Post and the Stern Post. I build a small jig to adapt the Stem to the Deadwood:

For fixing the Stern on the Deadwood I use small brass pins. At the keel I used a simplified tenon joint:

Next I milled the scores for the transoms and the rudder hinges:

The last picture shows the nearly finished port side of the arrangement. I lost a little the sharp edge of the rabbet, but don't think that I can do it better. So I will live with it. After finishing the starbordside and glueing the complete arrangement together, I will final sand the everything.

The two parts of the stern are real tricky and so I am very happy if I can fnish this part. Greg has spllitted his stern post in two part. If I have to do this part another time, I think I will follow this way. The rabbet at the transoms is than a littlebit simplified, but I think his way makes life much simpler.

Well done, Christian. Doing this in two parts certainly helps keep the rabbet crisp but you did a very nice job..

I am very sorry to write this, but I have to stop my build log for a longer period.:(

 

My company send me to big infrastructure project to the Netherlands. I my apartment there I don't have the possibility to work with timber. When I am at home, I will spend the spare time with my wife and friends. The project is definitely not stopped and I will continue after the project.

 

I the meantime I will work on some drawing projects which I have in my mind (for example a disposition of frames for the Anson from Alexander) and start with card modeling. I hope we will read us. Thanks to all members on MSW who helped me to reach my current stand in the project

Regards Christian

Sorry that you have to interrupt your build, Christian. Hopefully you will have a bit of time to enjoy the Rijsmuseum if you are in Amsterdam. Best wishes with the project.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv
