Anja Posted June 15, 2013 Share #91 Posted June 15, 2013 Hello Mario, Just WOW! I like the shape of the cutwater, it fits the boat. Beautiful work. I thought you said you were going on vacation. But you are still here building. Not that I mind, I love seeing the updates. Take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

scottacus Posted June 15, 2013 Share #93 Posted June 15, 2013 Looking great Mario! Your decking looks nice and clean without the waterways and trim and the cutwater also turned out really well. I'm very curious to see how the pre-bent cap rails turn out for you. They are tricky to bend since they must bend along the "wrong axis" and that is why I pre-bend them for you. They are put into a jig here in Wisconsin where the humidity is probably a bit higher than where you are and when I build a model, they go on the day after they are bent but you will be waiting several weeks since the initial bend...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share #94 Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Anja, On vacation now. getting ready to leave. As for the cutwater, i;m glad it's on. It gettings confusing as to which end is what on this boat. HAHAHA! Thanks John it sure did turn out kind of nice. The unique shape of the hull and then adding the decks really made it look really nice. Thanks Scott when I get back from vacation i will show you my results of the caprails. they turned out nice..

themadchemist Posted June 15, 2013 Share #97 Posted June 15, 2013 Beautiful work on the cutwater. and it helps determine which end is which, but only if you can see it That very last pic with the bent rails where its shadowed make the stern look like the bow, like you said its a very uniquely shape boat, which is a plus for me. Different is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share #99 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks John, As for the 2nd hull I thinking of maybe just adding it on to this thread as to how i construct the hull only and then add a finish photo with both boats. Hi Bob sorry you missed nothing. I outlined the picture you are talking about, but I used very thin outlines. Next time they will be thicker. i was refering to removing the stern piece abive the sheer strake Hi Kieth and Thanks. Funny even with the cutwater I'm still second guessing myself. HAHA! Hey Mark what a week??? Just 7 days. Well we are packed and ready for vacation. But first we are leaving in just a few minutes to one of our nieces College graduation. Then in the morning we are off to my mom n dads to wish my 83 yr young DAD a Happy Father's Day. Then we are off on the road to vacation God has bless me to have my parents around for a long time.

themadchemist Posted June 29, 2013 Share #107 Posted June 29, 2013 Looking good Mario. I still cant tell the bow from the stern. Does is have a rudder, maybe that will help?

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share #109 Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks Anja, i used shellac straight out of the can to give it that darker color. i used dull coat to dame down the slight shine it gives it. The model is completed just working on the display case. This one is going to our church and the second one will be mine to display in our home. As always thanks Scott. Good for you John, just remember have 2 models going at once. Because you will need a brake from constructing the hull, it is a challenge but you will do it. Thanks Bob your malabar is shaping up I see Thank you Keith, you know I am still getting confused with the frontend of this boat too. LOL! Thank You very much Wayne Quote Thank You all...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share #111 Posted July 1, 2013 Thank you Frank! It's funny how i keep thinking the stern is the bow. I just keep laughing about it.... Time for another update. I did have a lot of fun building this little boat...The reason for no floor planks is because the book only mentioned them at the end of the book. Which i thought very strange. If you ever read the book the author gets very detailed throughout the recovery process and what they discovered during the process. These ceiling planks as they are known by just were never mentioned. Per the book if there was any ceiling planks they would be few and placed most likely a little forward of amidships. I will add them to the second model...Another tidbit...It was assumed the the buyer of the boat was well off enough to buy an old boat and rebuilt by the boatwright. But at that time inland of Galilee was so wood starve the boatwright had to use what ever wood he had on had. Thus the boat was constructed of 16 different woods. Plus the nails used were not long enough to be clenched so they were just hammered in. most likely because the new owner could not afford more iron for the longer nails need to clench. This is also why they figured the boatwright was a master craftsman because he built a very good seaworth boat with what he had on hand.another tidbit....In Scott's beautiful boat model you have all seen at the beginning of my thread you see the quarter rudders. Mine on my model will have a small bit of rigging on them. The rigging for sure is to secure the rudders, but they were also used to help assist the steersman with the handling of the ruuders during rough seas...I found this out during my research oh sometime last year. Now you know how long it took me to get ready to build this boat...HAHA! man a little slow... Anja, avsjerome2003 and riverboat 3 Quote Thank You all...

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share #113 Posted July 1, 2013 THANK YOU FOR LOOKING IN ON MY BUILD THREAD MY FRIENDS.... with six pins instead of 4 pins I have decided to do a more detail rigging of the braid rigging style they used in these boats at that time. What I have learned there are many variations of braided rigging. i just had to be careful of which one i would choose. I found some rigging style for a braid as old as 1500bc for these small boats. Which I could not use since this boat was around 40bc to 50ad....But i did find several rigging styles for this era. i will be rigging both of my models differently.the new display stand.....The more detailed rigging i will add required me to add fairleads for the braids...so i had to aline the fairleads with the seams of the sail... avsjerome2003 and Anja 2 Quote Thank You all...

scottacus Posted July 1, 2013 Share #115 Posted July 1, 2013 Very nice work Mario! I've built four of these thus far but I wasn't sure I had explained the process that I use to build these is such a way that someone else could replicate the model. I couldn't have gotten a better "Beta tester"! I look forward to seeing your rigging and other changes to the model. One more reminder to anyone else who would like to build one of these, the price discount for MSW members ($70 plus shipping) will expire on the 4th of July.

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share #120 Posted July 2, 2013 This style of rigging had so many variations it just made the researching a whole lot of fun and very interesting. Speaking of researching my loved this boat so much with it's ancient style she has made a request of me to build a Viking Ship! Here we go with more photos!Braid rig boat come in many variations. I decided on one which will incorporate bee blocks at the top of the mast to support the stays and shrouds. I used a larger scale rope to give them a better look. At the tie off points these boats used half hitches or seized. I decided on half hitches. But I seized the lines at the bee blocks with other variations using eye splices....I think they are called hanks but not sure. These are needs because the braid style I decided on has me eyesplicing one end to the yard. Then the line will feed though the hank at the sheet then up and through the fairlead. Then finsihed off by being secured to a rigging pin on the gunwale.... avsjerome2003 1 Quote Thank You all... Mario "Each of us is a mixture of some good and some not so good qualities.
