Quarterdeck Barricade Assembly - Jotika H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Manual

Quarterdeck Barricade Assembly

(Photo 021) Line the aft edge of the skid beam assembly with 1x3mm walnut. Using Plan Sheet 4 for reference, cut eight
supports each 6mm long from 3x3mm walnut. Into the front lower edge of these supports, a 1x1.5mm notch needs to be filed
out so they sit half on and half off the 1x3mm lining as shown (Fig 012). Next, fit the middle rails (362 & 363) and the turned
columns (723) onto the pillars and finally the upper rail (364). It is a good idea not to fit the hammock cranes (524 & 525) until
a later stage, as they are easily damaged. Note: the supports, pillars and hammock cranes should all remain vertical while the
beams follow the deck camber, holes have been drilled into the beams to aid alignment. This whole assembly should be
painted black.
