HMS Jalouse - Caldercraft by Ted

I believe the planking should run all the way to the stern post as well as along the entire length of the keel. The area bounded by the stern post and the keel (where you have not planked is called the dead wood zone). You would sand out, carve out whichever an amount so that the planking surface ends up flush with the stern post and keel.

I agree Daniel but, as this is the first layer of planking, I am guessing Ted will have the second layer extend over the deadwood and end in the rabbet at the stern post.

I see what you mean. I was going to cover the deadwood with the second layer. The plans don't show any layers over the keel and stern posts. It also doesn't show any coppering.
Should I tear out or add onto what I have
 
Thanks l. I think I'll try the easy way out and if that doesn't work I'll go to the demolition mode
I just watched a five episode video on the Wasa on YouTube.
Called On Board the Wasa by Vasamuseet.
Don't know if youve seen it but thought you would find anything showing all the actual interior interesting.

Up to you in the end but it going to be a project of its own either way. As it looks now, you didn't adjust the width of the planks so there is way more room aft than where the planking currently ends so sizing pieces is going to require some lining off to get them right.

There was no wood planking over the keel or sternpost. It ended at the rabbet at the keel and covered the inner post which formed a rabbet at the stern post itself. As Jalouse was launched about 1809 she would have had her bottom sheathed in copper. If you are going to copper over the planking, I would consider just leaving the planking as is.

If you look at some external planking expansion plans like those on the RMG Collections site and you can see how the planks need to widen aft (or you can add a couple stealers.

Thanks, in bot sure what to do. Thinking about it
 
I read that you're supposed to sand the hull planking in the longitudinal direction and not a ross the planks. Ue fire road, not too to bottom.
About 45 degrees makes sense to me but what do I know
Any recommendations
