druxey Posted April 8, 2021 #481 Posted April 8, 2021 Lovely clean work. Usually the first head beam is in one piece and scored on to the front of the stem head. I've not seen this arrangement before. 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

Alex M Posted May 3, 2021 Author #498 Posted May 3, 2021 Hello and thank you for warm words and likes! The "head pieces" (is it right term?) are usually represented on the contemporary models as one piece of wood. On the plans that show this area in detail, you can see a small rail attached: So I have tried to implement this: They are first fixed with a few drops of glue, because I still have to adjust the seats of ease in the corners Alex marktiedens, jansmiss, yvesvidal and 20 others 23 Quote Current build: HMS Sphynx, 20 gun ship launched in 1775 at Portsmouth, Hampshire.

druxey Posted May 3, 2021 #499 Posted May 3, 2021 In English, it is called the 'false rail'. The inset panel is very nicely carved, Alex. There is usually a semi-circular notch at the forward end for the boomkin to sit in. mtaylor and BANYAN 2 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
