Gregory Posted March 4 Author Share #91 Posted March 4 Thanks Craig. Your lines will help me refine things. I straightened out heavier curve of the upper side panels. They seem out of place place to me. I think you are right about the columns. I should have something showing that on the next rendition.

CiscoH Posted March 4 Share #92 Posted March 4 This sounds like a question for Druxey or Allanyed. Thinking about it I assume the doors and panels were parallelograms but that makes joinery a major pain - no right angles. I would be very interested to know.

Gregory Posted March 4 Author Share #93 Posted March 4 Looking at Chuck's latest Speedwell developments, I think I see parallelograms there.. That's good enough for me.

For me, I think a tighter radius works. I also think it would look better if the spacing between the columns and adjacent panels was evened out but that's probably just me.

Gregory Posted March 4 Author Share #95 Posted March 4 Thanks for that drawing.

allanyed Posted March 14 Share #96 Posted March 14 (edited) There is a picture of this area on the St. Albans on page 163 of The Master Shipwrights's Secrets by Richard Endsor. His information source is noted at the bottom left. Sorry the overall pic is askew. I rotated it in my drawing program so the cross sections are correct and show a vertical centerline for reference.

Hope you don't mind, here's some enlargements: I had been thinking that it needed a sill under the doors otherwise the inboard ones wouldn't open properly. St Albans (1687) probably. allanyed, mtaylor, Gregory and 2 others 5 Quote Craig. I do know, that I don't know, a whole lot more, than I do know.

Gregory Posted March 14 Author Share #100 Posted March 14 1 hour ago, allanyed said: Are you asking about the drawing Craig posted or ?? 😀 Thanks Allan It took me a while to determine that the drawings you posted are of St. Albans, 1687, a 50 gun fourth rate. Interesting drawings but doesn't seem to have much in common with Rattlesnake. I appreciate the effort.

Yes. I was planning on including a sill of some sort. Flush with the deck didn't seem right.

Thank you very much Gregory. Thought it was interesting that it seemed to confirm the trapezoid shape more than 100 years earlier.
