Drazen Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share #453 Posted June 16, 2019 Unfortunately pine, yes. I had just very small amount of dry lime wood and this is used partly in the tower, but mostly pine. For the small area, it will do. Drazen Keith Black, Piet, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote There are no boundaries... … besides those we set for ourselves.

Drazen Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share #463 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Towers are ready. The windows are missing and some details. This will be done later. The sharp edges where the klinker are connected are not very exact, but I didn't care since the sculptures are going to cover this areas. The whole system is like LEGO - it can be disassembled in order to paint the parts later separately. Also the other parts on the side galleries can be removed. This will be shown later.

Drazen Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share #466 Posted March 23, 2020 My protection for the hull - same level as the waterline. One can imagine how the ship looks in the water.

Drazen Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share #468 Posted March 23, 2020 Making klinker on the hull... For this, I needed to cut different widths of the klinker planking and on some areas - continuously narrow them. So I have the same number of planks at the beginning and the end of one section of the hull. (The part of the hull which I needed to plank with the klinker is higher at the stern.)

amateur Posted March 29, 2020 Share #476 Posted March 29, 2020 Just curious: you had some woodsplitting problems laat year. How did you manage to stop that? Jan mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazen Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share #477 Posted March 30, 2020 Jan, 1. Solution: You will find the answer on the last photo. On the wall, there is a small humidity measuring device. I am trying to keep the humidity between 45% and 55%. In the winter, I have a humidifier and in the summer a dehumidifier. In a normal situation - if I would not work in the cellar - this would not be any problem since the deviations in my flat are from 42% to 58%. 2. Solution: I have reinforced the areas which were opened and I could work with epoxy and glass wool. The complete stern lower part (area near the sternpost), I have filled in with epoxy and glass wool and the vertical walls on the kampanje dek and hutdek, I covered with the several layers of glass wool. 4-6 layers come out thin, but this holds very well and will be covered later on with the klinker anyhow. 3. Solution (did not work): Since the cracks on the deck near the gratings were not possible to reinforce with epoxy laminate, I tried to spray the shellac through the gunports. I sprayed several layers of shellac, starting with very thin, to normal. The idea was to cover the wood also from inside and thus prevent humidity coming in. This did not work. It seams that the covering is not well or not possible and the humidity finds some possibility to enter the wood. Still, keeping the humidity under control makes these cracks nearly not visible (see my next photos). If I one day decide to live in Norway (what is a heart wish of mine), there, I may have again the problem due to the low humidity. Conclusion: Next time, I would do the walls of my base layer much thinner and think about reinforcing the structure from inside. I was talking to a colleague of mine (Alexandr Dobrenko - unfortunately, he died in a car accident last year) and he said, the problem is less with peer and he also covers the wood with special oil from inside. Just as an option to think. Strong humidity deviations + thick wood - without reinforcing structure inside is really a big problem. Following photos before and after my actions...

druxey Posted March 30, 2020 Share #480 Posted March 30, 2020 I don't think shellac is a good sealant as it is moisture sensitive (think white rings from glass condensation on a French polished tabletop). cog and paulsutcliffe 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
