Hi Paul Your link needs editing, it should be Victory's holdAnother useful link is Grand MagazineWhat we can learn from these links is first an update to the water barrel posts. Victory's water was stored in 150 gallon leaguers which are not quite as big as a Tun. However the scale size of the supplied barrels seems about right. The pictures of the magazine show barrels with what looks like copper banding which prevents the risk of sparking and the foreground of the second picture shows the cartridge cases that the 'powder monkeys' used to carry the linen cartridges up to the guns during a battle. These are made of wood with wood bands round them. The barrels in the hold would have had the usual metal banding and the method for stowing is described. I think between us we have cracked this one!

never ceases to amaze me how much we all find to discuss. i think we will all be victory experts at the end of this build or in a mental home or indeed both “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

jase wrote:never ceases to amaze me how much we all find to discuss. i think we will all be victory experts at the end of this build or in a mental home or indeed both That is incredibly true; before I started this build, I knew very very little about Victory, Nelson and Trafalgar, rather shameful for a history student (guess I concentrated on other areas?  ) but I already pride myself when explaining to my girlfriend the methods of surgical amputation on a ship of the line during the Napoleonic Wars era.

But it's not only the tools and materials, especially when it comes to all these nautical terms like caulking or standing rigging etc. I fortunately have a tiny knowledge of this stuff but being here I still need to translate all this ... hope this will change until issue #120. thomasmoult wrote:..but I already pride myself when explaining to my girlfriend the methods of surgical amputation on a ship of the line during the Napoleonic Wars era.

Wow, inspiring stuff.
For those of us who don't own a milling machine, are there any other ways to shape the ends correctly?

I used the tool you can see in one of the photos it as a dremel multi tool only not dremel a cheaper brand i bought off ebay fro about £15 brand new and boxed. if you don't have a dremel you could drill multiple holes to the same depth (put some tape around the drill bit to ensure accuracy) and then cut and sand to shape. it will be much more time consuming though “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
