Hi Sam, sorry I had not checked this site sooner. The plans are from Howard Chapelle's American Sailing ships, if I remember correctly. In any case it would either be that or The Search for Speed under Sail, same author. I simply photocopied the plans and blew them up to the desired size. You can paste them together if you don't have a larger print capability. Some times I just make a same size copy and bring it to a local print establishment where they can usually enlarge them for a pretty reasonable fee. Hope this helps.

The first is fine. The second one is backward. The teeth point into the pallets, not away.

Thank you Jorge. We were in Lisbon some years ago and loved it.

William: The plans I used were enlarged from Howard Chapelle's "American Sailing Craft" if I remember correctly. Sorry for the delayed response. EM

William: The book I mentioned was not the correct one. It should have been "The Search for Speed Under Sail" Howard Chapelle, Bonanza Books.

Mike I have a drawknife but don't find it as comfortable to use. EM

Sorry for the long wait to respond. I need to check my comments moe often. I am going to try to add a small video of the finished carving. EM

AK Murray: Very sorry to take so long responding. I should check this more often. In any case if you are still interested I will try to attached a clip of the finished carving to a new short video. EM

JIm: Yes, you are correct about the terminology. Don't know why I referred to it as a "platen" since I am well aware of the usual reference to that part. I had to experiment with the linkage and was aware that it could be better but just felt I had invested enough time. I had no part to replicate so had to use trial and error. Anyone with machine tools could do a better job of course. Anyway, thanks for your interest.

Plans are available in many places: Books, Magazines, Museums, etc. This particular plan was enlarged from Howard Chapelle's, "American Small Sailing Craft", available through Amazon and used books dealers.

Todd Thanks for the comment. Don't check these often enough. Regard to the plans I have to stop and think. Have so many books and stuff and I did that some time ago. If I can track them down I will post them for you

todd: I found the plan. I will add it to the video.

Negative. Will send them via email if you like.

@@edwardmaterson3646 how should we do this so I don’t publish my email address on KZbin? I would very much appreciate the plans.

@@toddelliott3239 If you go to my Pinterest page you will find it under Boat Plans

Yes. Not having a thickness planeer I use 3/4" stock lumber. It is possible to create your own lift lines but takes a bit of work. Since you have the coordinates of the half breadth and the station lines you can bend a batten along the appropriate points and create new lift lines.

Thank you Blake. There are others on KZbin who have greater skills than mine but it is nice to be referred to as a "master".

"Typhoon" Chapter 2

Shawna: You can create a full model hull if you can make a half-hull model. All it takes is to flip the patterns and use wider stock. If you trace an innere profile on each template and cut along those lines you can create a hollow full hull. Christopher Hale has a video on his full models and there are many others. Also, Dover books puts out a few reasonably priced books on model making. Harold Payson has an excellent book on model making but he had a full boat-making shop and many of the tools few people own. You can do it though with the simplest tools a jigsaw (hand) costs less than $10 at some stores Chisels should be the best quality but you can get by with one or two. Hope this helps.

Correction: Christopher Hale's video is about half-hulls but there are many full model making videos on KZbin.

The source for the plans is included in the video at about the 19 second mark. The Dover book:"Building Model Ships", 1998, includes full-size patterns.

Afteer searching online I did not find this book available any longer.

Thomas: Yes, the same method can be used juste by flipping the templates of the "lifts" and tracing the mirror image onto your stock. Also, to create a hollow model, draw parallel lines an inch or two inside each lift profile (enough to leave room for glueing the lifts together).
