Alex M Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share #364 Posted May 21, 2017 Hi all and many thanks for your replies and likes! Mark, you question is not easy one I don't have exact example showed scarph joint of margin plank, it is rather my own understanding of carpenters work in those days. Wider planks are seldom simply plan butted, but rather scarped togetter. Margin plank is a wider one... It may be also totaly wrong...

druxey Posted May 21, 2017 Share #365 Posted May 21, 2017 I believe that you are correct, Alex. The waterway/margin plank was a longitudinal stringer that strengthened the sides and, like the deck clamps, would have most likely been joined in the same manner. shipmodel, Stuntflyer, mtaylor and 2 others 5 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...

Mark P Posted May 22, 2017 Share #367 Posted May 22, 2017 Hi Alex; Thank you for your reply. I just like to broaden my knowledge whenever possible, and I have not seen a margin plank joined like this, although that most certainly does not mean anything much, as there are a great deal of things I have not yet seen! Thank you for compiling your log, and sharing so much with us. I wish you a rapid and enjoyable completion of your project, which is a joy to look at, and which I will look at many more times yet to come. Druxey, I appreciate your thoughts, and I agree with you about the waterway, but I am assuming that the waterway is the darker strip of wood which will be partly covered by the spirketting. All the best to you both.

Oh yes Greg, treenailing! I'm not sure how to process with. The Quarter deck and Forecastle have less dimensioned beams and the distance between is less that on the Gundeck. If I use the usualy treenail schema with two nails on each beam then, I suppose, it will be too much.
