Nice to see the hole plugging methods you've used, as well as your planking tips. Thanks Harry. I'll refrain from making any plugged hole jokes today. Cheers 😊

That's some butter smooth work! Fantastic hands-on explanation! After having ruined three wooden ship models many moons ago, I admire skilled modelers with the rare talent to teach in a humble and inspiring manner - such as yourself. Subscribed!

Hi, there, you're doing a great job. I read Captain Bligh wasn't the monster people made him out to be. I heard another Captain was, but people didn't want to ruin his reputation, so they pointed fingers at Bligh. The only ones who would know are the sailors who served under Captain Bligh.

the story about how bligh hid under the bed when confronted by a mutiny on the colony of Sydney does not ring true to me. He was a very brave man and was in command of HMS Glatton during the battle of Copenhagen where he was praised by Admiral Nelson. Nelson said that this battle was the most "heated" he'd ever been in and Bligh was in the thick of it.

Nice work - I'm enjoying the videos. Hull and deck planks in this era weren't attached with iron nails, they used treenails (trunnels), large wooden dowels driven into holes bored through the plank and into the hull frame or deck beam. The protruding ends were cut short and planed down to the surface of the plank, no plugs needed.

Parts 6 and 7 were about the second layer where I went into Steelers and Tapering to get a perfect plank fit. The lower hull is all planked. Part 10 out soon is about added the wale lines and bulwarks.

Some interesting techniques shown, agree tree nailing with cocktail sticks takes forever. I will showing an alternative plank bending method on my HMS Fly build soon that avoids soaking planks, you may be interested. Loving the build👍🏻

I’d to see you bend dry wood without splinters or snaps. If it’s by crimping, then I have tried that but it won’t get you 2 axis bends or twists.

@@HarryHoudiniModels no not a fan of crimpers, steam 😉
@HarryHoudiniModels3 жыл бұрын
You do realise steam contains water LOL? So same principle, allow the wood fibres to expand and soften with more water in the cells. Just the hazard of burning your hands on the scalding hot steam as you poke the planks through it. This I need to see!

I try not to paint anything. But some strips of wood may need darker staining, like the wale lines.

I am told there are mini battery powered drills which can take some of the hand cramping labour out of a task like this. My neck can only handle a few hours of this kind of work before I need to lie down and hot pack it to sooth the pain of occipital neuralgia.

Possible to simply use a suitably coloured pencil to mark the plugs?
@HarryHoudiniModels3 жыл бұрын
You could try but after 300 circles drawn, on each side, your hands would be cramped. Then if you managed not to smudge any of them, despite the varnish sealing your pencil work in, the wood grain of each plank will show through. They will simply look like marks on the planks, not plugs in the wood.
