KarenM Posted February 13 Share #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. chris watton, davec, mugje and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenM Posted February 15 Author Share #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.

KarenM Posted February 15 Author Share #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. chris watton, Ondras71, Ryland Craze and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenM Posted February 29 Author Share #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. mtaylor, chris watton, firdajan and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenM Posted April 7 Author Share #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 VTHokiEE, mtaylor, Ondras71 and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted April 12 Share #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. chris watton, mtaylor, allanyed and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
