AntonyUK Posted November 10, 2013 Author #63 Posted November 10, 2013 Hello Shipmates. Finished making the main beams for the Orlop Deck. The beams were made up by laminating 2mm thick pieces of timber and assembled on the plan which is curved for the camber. Close up of the joint (not yet cleaned up ) And before anyone with a sharp eye spots it I am building the Deck upside down. (It’s my method) Regards Antony. janos, egkb, Elmer Cornish and 1 other 4 Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.

harvey1847 Posted November 11, 2013 #64 Posted November 11, 2013 Really nice Antony! Can you explain us a little bit more your method for "curve" the beam? To make the camber. Thanks in advance, Daniel. Quote In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48. Daniel On the computer: R.A. Principe de La Paz. POF. 1:48. Daniel
AntonyUK Posted November 12, 2013 Author #65 Posted November 12, 2013 Hello Daniel. I had a old piece of kitchen work surface which had MDF on the bottom. I turned this over to show the MDF which I can drive screws into. Then I have a sheet of Poleycarbonate 10mm thick. This is pulled into the camber by putting the correct packaging at the edges and using countersunk screws to pull the centre down. Plans can be held in place tith the edge packing. As each deck has a different camber all I need to do is reduce or increase the edge packing for less or more camber. And of course if you lammanate timber it will hold its shape with little or no spring back. I hope this is the information you wanted Regards Antony. harvey1847, Erebus and Terror and egkb 3 Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.

AntonyUK Posted November 20, 2013 Author #72 Posted November 20, 2013 Hello shipmates. Thank you for your kind words Mark, Floyd and Michael. Starting to plank the Orlop deck But I have a question.. For the victory buffs. Are the decks in the Orlop deck removable ??. The drawings in both books look as if they are and any photographs I have found do not show any treenails. Also the planks are short and held in position by the deck beams. Also have turned the 36 pounders out of Acetel / Delrin. Will cast enough for the cross section when I get the casting kit. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony. Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.

guraus Posted November 20, 2013 #73 Posted November 20, 2013 Hello Antony, As far as I know they were removable in the part of the ship you are building. The planks were short and let down in the beams except on the sides where the carpenter walk is.

Anthony, Yes, you're right, the central section has removable boards, to make it easier to get to the stores anywhere below in the hold. The forward and after sections both have decked platforms, for various cabins and storerooms. As Alexandru implies, the the orlop was surrounded by the carpenter's walk, a passageway to enable the carpenter and his mates access to plug any leaks on the waterline during battle. Btw, you're making a splendid job on your cross section.

AntonyUK Posted November 24, 2013 Author #77 Posted November 24, 2013 Hello Shipmates. Thanks for your comments... Na .. I just make things look good . Another update :- Filling in all the planking on the Orlop deck at the moment and built the enclosure on the Orlop deck. Not yet cleaned up to remove the dust and lose fibers. Not sure that the walls are ventilated but they look nice. Door is built up with planks and the lock is a bolt through. No idea what’s on the real one The plank's are rounded as they are removable. The row at the back are as yet not stained or fixed. Need to stain before fixing. Three rows done. Progress is good and the Grating is made. But not cut to size yet. First row of the Planking. That’s it for Now. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony. Pete38, Elmer Cornish, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.
