michael mott Posted October 10, 2015 Share #213 Posted October 10, 2015 Mike, your ring of wood looks very nice. I have a concern though that with time the ring might fracture because of the difference between end and face grain. i think it would have a lower chance of distorting if you made it from segments of vertical or quarter sawn grain the stresses on the ring would then be equal around the perimeter. There is a potential for the wood to move in a more uneven way when it is made from a solid piece.

mikegerber Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share #215 Posted October 11, 2015 Hi everyone ... @Michael Thank you for your constructive feedback. It forces me to reconsider certain things. Of course you're right about your concerns of wooden grain structure. Gluing of similar segments to get a uniform blank would be the correct solution. This seems to me somewhat disturbing, because by professional reasons I have very internalized static and dynamic properties of wood and usually these properties are always present to me. In this case, I have considered the subject too little from this point of view. It is well aware that there is no such a simple ring in the original, but there are individual wedges. Since I've provided to cover the mast bed with canvas, I looked at this item only as a model technical substructure - hence such a ring as one piece. After all, he is from oak, so I've to check if it holds enough under stress or not ... ... Michael, you see, there are discussions going on. @Jan-Willem Thank you for a such great testimony and appreciation. Yes, you probably noticed that correctly, this worksop has accumulated a veritable machine park - I'm myself sometimes something between amazed and scared - but someway it commits to stay at work. ... thanks all of you for feedback, comments and likes. Always greatly appreciated!

mikegerber Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share #218 Posted October 24, 2015 Hi Hartmut, Patrick, Lawrence and all other visitors. Thanks for visiting the shipyard and all your great feedbacks with such estimated comments! Currently the activity in the shipyard is heavily slowed down - the duties of everyday life are so many ... Anyway I could start with nailing the deck. My work was first to research the legalities of the specific manner of nailing. Finally I could derive a consistent pattern with the help of pictures of the "Colin Archer" (RS1) - "Stavanger's" nails are hard to locate on the nearly black deck.

Captain Al Posted October 24, 2015 Share #221 Posted October 24, 2015 Mike, I just found this post and log because you used Colin Archer in the post title. First off, its a beautiful and exquisitely crafted model so far and promises to be a real show piece. I'll be following it closely. Reason for my particular interest is that I used to sail two different double enders (Baba 30 designed by Robert Perry and a Pacific Seacraft 25 designed by Henry Mohrschladt) and your build comes as close to those designs as I've yet to see on a log. I've been contemplating trying to build one or both of my former vessels from scratch and maybe with modifications I can get the structural part done by following some of your steps. Deck plan and rigging I suppose would be from my own pictures. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Its always exciting to see someone's work that fits in with what I'm doing or thinking. dvm27, mtaylor, Dimitris71 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegerber Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share #223 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) @Dimitris, @Marc Thank you very much your faithful and cherished companion! @Captain Al Thanks for your visit and welcome on board. Thank you also for such a nice feedback - very much appreciated! I also think that Baba 20 and Pacific Seacraft 25 are both interesting modern CA-adaptations - they both were unknown to me, but I've done instantly some researches on the Internet. What is so fascinating to me about double ender? Of course, the legendary seaworthiness, what is a highly design integral fact of this boats but also their prototypical appearance - it seems as they were drawn by children - a kind of Noah's Ark. It would be a pleasure to see a scratch build of one of your mentioned boats ...
