Well... that's going to happen when you post your work on other people's build reports ROTF.

If you’ve paid any attention you’ll note several folks posting on several builds, usually in an attempt at help avoiding errors.
Never realized I was violating secret posting etiquette.
Henceforth, perfectly fine keeping my progress to myself.

Oh, I've been ignoring the confusing posts on other's threads. But I won't ignore your disrespectful response to my friend Grant's post.

Hi, Tim. There’s no “secret etiquette” at play here. It’s quite normal, and generally encouraged for members to comment across multiple build logs, especially when the intent is to help, share experience, or point out potential issues.

What’s usually discouraged is turning someone else’s build log into a showcase for one’s own work. If someone wishes to document their own progress in detail, creating a separate build log is generally the more appropriate place for that.

As long as comments remain supportive and on-topic, posting in others’ logs is perfectly fine and part of what makes the forum valuable.

Eish Richard. All great until day 21. Wish you all the best. Cheers Grant
 
Progressing slowly with the Gundeck Bringing the bows tight into the First part of the Gundeck
Its OK but not as good as i would have liked
Photos follow #
 
Capstan Base is too big and looking at the plan it fits between 16 and 17 which has Carlins Does the Base fit in Top of the Carlings
Would have tought it would be in between Carlins but its far too Big

Hey Richard.
If you look closely at step 89, it looks as though it sits on top.

Yep, and it's supposed to be larger than carlings atop decking given how much stress it must require.
Finished mine, not installed, but may lay in some deck planking under it, not unlike the pumps positioning.
Also, in regard to pumps, I was not thrilled with the whole chain wheels/ chain approach so I made covers for the pumps which look fine without messing with the chains which lack paddles anyway.

I know this has been posted by others before, and this drawing is dated 1796 so may not be totally appropriate for 1774 but might be helpful in some ways, if only for size relations, construction and such.
