KarenM Posted February 13 #1 Posted February 13 Today I start building a new ship. The ship will be in Admiralty style. Regarding the spar, I haven’t decided yet whether to do it or not. At the moment, I made drawings of the frames and began cutting them out. In total I got 60 frames. Ronald-V, bruce d, chris watton and 2 others 4 1 Quote

KarenM Posted February 15 Author #5 Posted February 15 I ordered a friend some pear wood for frames. A whole box arrived, this is only for the ship's hull. I immediately started cutting frames on my CNC. Now I will be cutting frames for a month. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, druxey and 7 others 10 Quote

KarenM Posted February 15 Author #7 Posted February 15 I found only one diagram of this ship, but there are doubts that it corresponds to the original. There are a lot of oddities and inaccuracies on it. I definitely won't follow it. I will clarify the details using models and drawings of English ships of that time, which are in museums.

KarenM Posted February 29 Author #8 Posted February 29 First, I drew all the frames, then laid them out on wooden blocks. Then I created the trajectories in the ArtCam program. Now I'm sawing them out. It takes an hour to cut one piece, 120 dies in total. davec, mtaylor, firdajan and 8 others 10 1 Quote

KarenM Posted April 7 Author #21 Posted April 7 (edited) I started building the ship from the bow. I want to build a small part, then sand the inside. If the fragment is large, sanding will be inconvenient. Edited April 7 by KarenM scrubbyj427, druxey, Ondras71 and 9 others 11 1 Quote

druxey Posted April 12 #23 Posted April 12 Coming along nicely. The slot for the lion figure needs to allow for the two-way taper of the knee of the head. It is not slab parallel sided.
