Sjors, Looks good to me!

What is the Gore Line?

 

Wikipedia gives me this: "A gore, gore point, or gore zone is a triangular piece of land found where roads or rivers merge or split."

 

Or this:"Gore lines are parallel diagonal lines, such as are used in striping "No Parking" or "No Driving" areas, or walkways, or handicap access aisles."

 

Neither seems to relate to what you are doing.

 

Is the Gore Line the area where the line of coper meets the Stem?

Thank you all for the good words !!!!!!!

And all the like's !!!

 

@ Lawrence,

 

I know how you are meaning it, it's no problem !!!!!!!!

 

@ Piet,

 

Re-do is a enjoyment ?????????

Everything all right with you ?????

You are not mentally ill or something ??????   

 

@ Sam,

 

Gore line.......

Good question !

When I translate it in Dutch i've got something that it has to do with shoes.....maybe klompen ?   

Just kidding.

I hope I can give you the right answer.

For me is the gore line the line that follows the shape of the hull.

At the bottom, close to the keel , the line goes straight.

After a few rows they are going up with a curve from the middle.

Just see it as the planks .

They are also going up.

That's why we need stealers and drop planks.

If I'm wrong, please someone, give the right answer !

Nice work so far on the coppering Sjors. She's going to look fabulous when you're done.

[Sjors]

Thanks Grant,

 

I'll do my best and maybe it can better but I'm happy what I have done so far.

I get another opportunity on the other side

Excellent plating, Sjors.  Looks really super nice.

[Sjors]

Thanks Mark and the saga continue.......

[Sjors]

I reach the wale with the copperplates.....

Only the port side but it is a beginning.

I have to filling up till the waterline and at the bow and stern.

Cost me a few other plates 

Before that is done we are a few weeks further so here are a few pictures to keep you satisfied

Looking good mate, do I see a second gore line or is it just my imagination.

 

You got yourself some nice fiddly bits to do now, have fun.  

 

Be Good

Looks terrific Sjors - halfway there (almost!)

[lamarvalley]

Well lookie there, it's almost all copper and so smooth and uniform. I note the tiny ends still need to be fretted about… that might be harder than cruising through the repeatable middle but in a day or two I'm sure we'll see a picture or two of the finished product… yes?? 

[Sjors]

Thanks all   

 

I see a few questions ,so I have to answer them ( again )

 

@ Bob,

Thanks !

when it is coming from a ( almost or already ) 70 year old master builder is doing a lot to me !!!!!

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

I told you before....leave the bottle !!!!!!!  

It's only one gore line.( or do i miss something ? )

I know you are a master cutter so .....will you ????

 

@ Grant,

 

Yep, 1/2 way ( almost ) 

But I'm dubbing what i shall do first.

The starboard side or filling up ?

 

@Randy,

 

Also thank you !

And you see it wel.

I have to do a few tiny plates and the bow and stern.

I believe it takes me more time to do that then when I can go just straight in the middle.

And then a day or two ?????

Pffffffffffffff

I think more about a month or two .......  

 

Sjors

[Sjors]

If I got from everyone this great response, it should be all right

[dragzz]

hello sjors   the copper plate u did on the ship  is great work  keep up the great work as all ways 

[Sjors]

G'day Sjors, thanks for your visit to my log and your lovely comments, I see you are doing a great job on your Agamemnon, I will be glad to get back to working on a larger scale, best regards John.

 

 

  PS When I lived in England and I was in the Merchant Navy we used to dock in Rotterdam for three days, the people were so friendly and nearly everyone spoke english, I used to go up the Euro Mast, its probably not there now, and one of the little things I liked were the french fries you could buy along the streets they used to put a nice creamy mayonaise on the fries ( chips ) , you have a lovely country and great friendly folk, best regards John.

 

Thanks John,

 

The Euromast is still there.....

A little longer because they have build another tower on it   

Thanks for saying that we are nice people !

Everyone read that ??????????    

 

Sjors

[Sjors]

Thanks Frank, Sam and Draggz !

 

@ Sam,

Can you make a movie from it ?????

Hello Sjors, Will second the above "wow" nice very neat coppering, and yes when I was in Holland the peoples friendliness and the  half chicken ,fries and  tasty creamy mayonnaise, good memories.Edwin

[mtaylor]

Excellent coppering Sjors.  By all means fill the gaps to keep the worm out of your hull.  It's either that or do the klompen dans on them.

[Sjors]

Thanks Ed and Mark,

 

@ Ed,

 

I thought that Holland was famous about the windmills, tulips and wooden shoes.

But also on the patat with mayonaise ?????

 

@ Mark,

 

I shall do what you are saying...fill the gaps first !

We don't want wood worms around !

Maybe they wear klompen ?????

 

Sjors

Because it is a sunny day on this 4 th of September.......

 

An update !!!!

The port side is now expensive !!!!!!!!

All that copper is on her.

I don't need a mirror anymore     

Now i can go to the starboard side and see if I can do it better.
