MEDDO Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share #125 Posted May 31, 2014 Just a quick update. I was able to sand down the gun ports and I think everything is good to go there. I put in the keelson tonight. I thought it looked a bit funny as the keelson doesn't sit onto of the keel in between the frames. I double checked the plans, image files, instructions and it seems like it is supposed to be like that. I was also able to find a picture in my copy of THE COLONIAL SCHOONER 1763-1775 by Harold Hahn that also appeared like it was intended... O well. One of the nice things being a beginner is that you don't know what you don't know. It may or may not be historically correct but it looks good to me. rafine, mtaylor, Dimitris71 and 6 others 9 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Trussben Posted June 1, 2014 Share #126 Posted June 1, 2014 Hi Michael, You are quite correct that the keelson should step down between the frames to the top of the keel therefore locking their positions in place. Was the keelson in the kit made of several pieces? Or just one piece of wood? Should be 2 or 3 pieces for a ship of her size. You can always remove it and add the notches now, I agree it just looks wrong the way it is now, maybe a few hours work but I'm sure you would be happier. Ben Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted June 1, 2014 Share #127 Posted June 1, 2014 Sorry but after looking at that fame pic again it looks like all of your frame pairs are sat about 1/16" too high on the rising wood, above the rabbit by that much. That may also be causing the keelson to be further away from the top of the keel if you catch my drift. Ben Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Ben After going throughout he image files associated with the build I found the following picture. This from LSS/Bob Hunt So I guess the kit is definitely designed to be like this. This is a picture from The Colonial Schooner by Harold Hahn. You can also see the "gap" is built into this. You can see the space between the frames f-b as well as the large air space between b and a. Sorry but after looking at that fame pic again it looks like all of your frame pairs are sat about 1/16" too high on the rising wood, above the rabbit by that much. That may also be causing the keelson to be further away from the top of the keel if you catch my drift. Ben Yup I see that now. Seems a bit too "high" as it were. I am sure it is contributing to the problem. Not much I can do about that now I guess. Will definitely be more aware of this when doing the next build. hexnut, Elmer Cornish, Aussie048 and 2 others 5 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share #130 Posted June 2, 2014 Starting to get the deck in. As always with the supplied wood it is very rough when removed. It seems to be even worse on these smaller pieces. After a bunch of sanding and fitting starting to get the deck in. rafine, Aussie048, mij and 6 others 9 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Trussben Posted June 3, 2014 Share #133 Posted June 3, 2014 Hi Michael, That's the first time I seen a design with the keelson like that, interesting.

MEDDO Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share #145 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks Jason. This one is from the Lauck Street Shipyard which I do not think is associated with the Lumberyard. But it is no longer produced (see post #4 of this thread). The plans in this kit were adapted from the Hahn plans which I think the Lumberyards is also based on. I don't know if anyone around here has used the timbering set available from them. It seems that may be similar but I really don't know. Hey maybe some day I will build the Lumberyards version and give a head to head comparison... Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

MEDDO Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share #146 Posted June 13, 2014 Finished dry fitting the quarterdeck. It is a shame that so much of this deck will eventually be planked over. There is some of the deck left unplanked but I may have to modify it when I get to that step. Ultimately it will look like this if I follow the instructions This picture is from the image files by Bob Hunt Elmer Cornish, hexnut, Aussie048 and 5 others 8 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

With regards to your thinking on modifications, are you considering planking one half and leaving the other half bare? Thanks Patrick. I think that would be the best option. I will have to think about it and decide what to do . I luckily have a bit more time before I get there. If I do half-plank then I will probably leave off the cannons on the unplanked side and fully rig the planked side cannons. (the plans/instructions leave these as unrigged). This also leaves me with 3 "spares" so when I inevitably botch it I can retry. mtaylor 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...
