michael mott Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share #760 Posted March 8, 2019 1 hour ago, druxey said: Looks like your inner line became the outer! Hello Druxey I can see why you would think that. My thinking and awareness have been so close to the drawing and what line represents what, that clarity for others is sometimes assumed. the following drawing now modified shows the red outer line as the outside of the lower rub rail, (the top rub rail is left off the plan) the next black line shows the outside of the sheer strake and the top edge of the planking, the red dashed line is the inside of the planking. The 2 sets of numbers are large ones are rib numbers, and the small ones are station numbers ( I am probably not following traditional convention ) This shows the elevation of the rub rails at rib 5 and the position on the profiles. The sheer strake is outlined in blue on the profiles. I had to adjust the line of the rub rial on the plan because it was sticking out way too far when I transferred that line to the profile I am really not trying to confuse you all. I have no idea how the draftsmen of the early three mast fully rigged ships did it, nor the members who have produced new books full of drawings of those same types of ships. My Hat is off to those of you who have done that. Being able to use different colors has been helpful to me. Now all I have to do is keep the colours consistent on all three views.....I'l get there. A last comment is that working in a cad program Autocad Lt 2000 and, switching to Corel draw 7, can sometimes be a bit of a spot for confusion because they function differently. I get used to one because I can do some things more easily in it, and other things more easily in the other... I'll stop there.....

Bob Cleek Posted March 8, 2019 Share #761 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Michael, Steam and gas launches around the turn of the last century was a topic upon which I'd previously done some research, primarily on Fred W. Martin's designs for the Racine Boat Company of Racine, Wisconsin. I did a bit of digging in my files and can pass along the following information on the Truscott Boat and Dock Company, which was a much larger manufacturing concern around the same time as Racine Boat. There is a lines drawing and some photographs of a contemporary Truscott Boat and Dock Company fantail launch in the Historic American Engineering Record on line. See: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Truscott&co=hh The draft is apparently a modern one done by the Michigan Maritime Museum. Apparently the boat is in their collection. The photographs may be helpful for construction details. The Truscott Boat and Dock Company was in existence until 1948 and was a large manufacturing concern. It went bankrupt after the War. It is possible that the Michigan Maritime Museum has draughts of other Truscott launches and perhaps even one with a "compromise" canoe stern. There's also an interesting 2003 thread on the Old Marine Engine Board about Truscott engines similar to Skipjack's with lots of pictures and drawings. See: http://www.oldmarineengine.com/discus/messages/3451/1698.html The original poster, "Curtis" says he has the 1901-1905 Truscott catalogs. Catalogs in those days often had "study plans" lines. Clicking on his name in the post will get you his email address, but his info indicates his last activity was in 2011, so... who knows? Offered for what it's worth. Hope it might be of some help in your research on lines and construction details.

michael mott Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share #767 Posted March 25, 2019 An update, I have reworked the lines for the umpteenth time I revisited all the pictures that I have and further correspondence with Roger. I did cut out all the 23 stations in 3/16 basswood and will now need to revisit those and reshape most of them The keel will need to be remade so at some point i will use the old keel for a freelance model. The stem would be the only thing that could be reused so it will be better to start over. I am going to build this, now that all the information matches. and here is a PDF of the plans. new lines march 25.pdf So now I am going to take a break away from the desk and do some cutting.

michael mott Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #768 Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks for the visits. Making sawdust. The first set of bulkheads these are cut to the inside of the ribs. These are the set for the port side and I have been reworking them, most needed to be jumped to give enough wood to allow for the new shape. The #11 was trimmed from the #12 and so it goes. I will use the port set as templates for the starboard set. Work continues.

shipmodel Posted March 27, 2019 Share #770 Posted March 27, 2019 Hi Michael - Sweet work, and done with a hand saw. Impressive. It's probably an artifact of the photo, but my eye says that the space between your 5th and 6th bulkheads may be too large to support the arc that the planks will need to take.

michael mott Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share #772 Posted March 27, 2019 Hi Dan not all the bulkheads were place yet. I have now glued them all together after cutting a 1/8th notch in each to give a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch slot I have dry stacked them to see how it all looks later today I will cut a piece 1/2 x 1/4 and fix it to a board then assemble the bulkheads with balsa filling between to shape them to the final before making the ribs. after the shaping I am going to make the floors and set them in slots next to the ribs. The top plate for the keel will sit onto the floors then the keel will sit onto it. the ribs are short of the top plate by 1/2 inch according to Roger to create a limber gap running the length of the hull. so the garboard strake will be a key one tying the lot together.

michael mott Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share #774 Posted March 28, 2019 Well the skilled builder is still on a long learning curve. today I began adding some spacer filler blocks of Balsa (not my favourite wood I think I had a traumatic experience with balsa airplane imploding on me after winding up the rubber band driven propeller), the Idea is that the bulkheads will get most of the filler blocks added to only one side at first this will allow me to set the position of the floors. and also I can make any minor adjustments in the thickness of the space. I attached the 1/4 x 1/4 spline to the building base with a few 1/2 inch pins and it will be left on the board the bulkheads slide on easily and the balsa spacers are snugged up to the spline but only attached to the upside bulkhead. Once all the bulkheads are built up they will get glued together and then the whole thing will be able to be lifted off the spline register. This is the plan. I I am being very conservative with the glueing and just adding a few "buttons" of glue to hold the first bits, I do not want to stick any of them to the spline or base.

It was very easy being able to glue up the blocking while each bulkhead was flat on the bench after the rest are glued up I will do the sanding to ensure that they match the drawing and eliminate the accumulated error caused by the tiny thickness overage.
