Baker Posted Friday at 02:42 PM Author Share #244 Posted Friday at 02:42 PM With the beam for the swivels on the port side also installed and the frames made thinner, time to continue working on the transom. The clinker planking that was previously installed has been removed. And the intention is to install two stern chasers here, the openings of the swivels will then remain empty. Applying the same number of cannons as the Anthony drawing is not feasible. A nice drawing to show to a king, but not a practical design in reality. Several attempts... And after three attempts it became this. Finish the holes for the swivels with a beam on top First i make grooves. This is more work, but positioning the beam correctly is much easier. And above this beam back to clinker planking. This will provide more strength when the frames are made thinner later.

Baker Posted Sunday at 09:05 AM Author Share #248 Posted Sunday at 09:05 AM Thank you for the nice comments. In the meantime, I've had a moment where you say to yourself "kieke" Flemish for "chicken". A fun way to say stupid 🤣 The plank is clamped and the clamp is now blocked And the iron wire, which kept the sides of the rear castle at the right width, and on which I have already cut my fingers a few times. has been replaced by a pair of threaded rods.

druxey Posted Sunday at 10:33 AM Share #249 Posted Sunday at 10:33 AM Threaded rods are a much better option! And I don't recall that the original ship had permanent clamps....

The clamp has been surgically removed and repaired. Model and clamp are doing well after this medical surgery.
