Thukydides Posted August 23 #1 Posted August 23 I have been digging around the forums and in my searches have found inconclusive answers to this question so I figured I would pose it to see if anyone is able to clarify this for me. This is what my general understanding of naming is: My question is what would the joint in the below plan be called? They have the scarfs of hook and butt, but appear to be simply two scarfed strakes. Could this also be called hook and butt? For clarification these two strakes show the upper deck clamps for Sphinx 1775.

CiscoH Posted August 24 #2 Posted August 24 i have been calling that a simple scarf joint, but so far have only used them on the waterway and the main rail of my AVS. interesting to find out if they have an official name when part of the hull planking. Thukydides and mtaylor 2 Quote

The difference is anchor stock (#3) is symmetrical where top and butt (#1) is not. mtaylor and catopower 2 Quote Current Builds: HMS Perseus (Scratch) Completed Builds: Type VII C U Boat (HobbyBoss); HM Cutter Alert (Vanguard Models)
Loracs Posted September 4 #6 Posted September 4 I like the hooked scarf joints... but how do you implement those? how do you cut the two joints to match each other perfectly? Just wondering about the technique. mtaylor 1 Quote Completed Build: Chinese Pirate Junk Current Build: HMS Revenge Current Build: Bireme, Greek Warship

Mark, you are right no.3 is just the piece in the puzzle lengthwise. I printed it out and it is a perfect match. Ryland Craze and mtaylor 2 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
