glbarlow Posted February 24, 2023 Share #156 Posted February 24, 2023 That’s quite clever, removing planks without damaging others. I’m sure you are happier with the result.

Edwardkenway Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share #157 Posted February 24, 2023 With the remove and replace work done, I gave the whole deck another good sanding. and a coat of WOP As can be seen (or not, as intended) the remedial planking worked. No unsightly overly dark planks😊 I still need to do the detailing of the patners and the waterway. I yet to find a satisfactory method of shaping the waterway. I shall try and get these jobs started over the weekend, then onwards to Chapter 5. Thanks once again to all who gave advice and removal methods, all of which helped enormously. Also for the likes, comments and popping in.

Edwardkenway Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share #164 Posted March 10, 2023 With the deck done and finally just going with something approaching a quadrant profile for the waterways, I've moved on to the rudder. I had a mishap with topmost bracket on the sternpost, as in breaking it getting it from the fret🙄. With the hole in the counter drilled, I fitted the cabin benches. Also a start be was made on the gun port lids. Inbetween all this I'm also making up some eyebolts and split rings. I tried Glenn's (glbarlow) method for the eyebolts, not a great success for me, I could not make them consistent, so I went back to the twist method. Thanks for all the comments, likes and dropping by. All is greatly appreciated.

scrubbyj427 Posted March 11, 2023 Share #166 Posted March 11, 2023 Looking good Edward! You are moving along indeed, you’ll be past me next! Haha. Gun ports are fun, I spent a lot of time trying to get them right. Next time I build gun ports I decided that I will do them during the planking process and use the same planks as I'm using on the hull so they match better. It looks like you’re off to a good start on your ports.

I know what you mean. I saved all the offcuts from the hull planking, even the very short ones, now I'm glad I did not throw them out. I'm definitely having the ports open as a couple of them are very oddly shaped🤔 Jack12477, FrankWouts and Dave_E 3 Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it work but it just would have been better to take care of it early on. it is nice that they remain open except for the four (2 at the bow and stern), its an offer of forgiveness for one’s gunport assembly sins!

Edwardkenway Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share #169 Posted March 11, 2023 Just a small update, I've dry fitted a couple of ring bolts Just to see what they look like on the deck I've used brass wire at .5mm, which according to the conversion chart is equivalent to 24 gauge, and blackened If I'm honest, I'm doing these, just so I can put off making the port lid hinges. I'm not sure how or where to start with those, even though I've read and reread the hinge bit in the monograph 🤷😬😕. Any pointers be will be gratefully received. Thanks once more for your comments, likes and visiting.

Edwardkenway Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share #171 Posted March 12, 2023 Cheers Dave E. Not wanting to put it off any longer, I sat down with some brass strip and a flat file. The following results may not be perfect, but for a first attempt, well..... blackened makes them look a tad better Need to make some small eyebolts and split rings now. New skills being learnt, as I would have gone off the peg and purchased them before this build. To everyone looking in, commenting and giving the thumbs up, many thanks.

Edwardkenway Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share #176 Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. Over the last week or so, I've made eight hinges, only 12 more to go, but I've only got enough brass strip for 9. The search is on for some more strip. 4 gun port lids have had their hinges fitted I still need to make and fit the pivot for the hinges and remove the molding where the hinge will sit. An order of .8mm wire has arrived, so I will make the larger ring bolts. Thank you everyone who has commented, and for the likes, or for looking in.
