I helped a shipwright working on the "Charles W. Morgan", a whaling ship, at Mystic Connecticut some decades ago. I am a master machinists and toolmaker, and I have also been a mold maker. In any event, this fantastic shipwright was hand building a clinker built boat for the "Morgan", and I noticed, from behind the roped off line, that he was doing something that I thought I could make easier for him. I yelled out from behind the rope, I think I know a quicker way to do that", I was quite a bit younger than I am, but old enough, and he said"Come over here'. I explained that when he hammered the nails back, and was bending the part back through to curve the point back into the wood, he could put a radius in the backing iron he was holding to allow the nail to follow a path easier, and the twist of his wrist would have greater effect. He handed me his tool, and I asked if he had a dye grinder, and with a very fine wheel, made a small radius into the center of this very thick, and old piece of steel. He tried it, and did it quick, he then showed me how to do it. He told me he "couldn't believe he never thought of that". My then girlfriend hand been looking for me for 2 hrs., and commented, "how come is it that every time we go to these kind of places (i.e. airshows0 you end up where no one else can go". This guy showed me how to fair a hull with a very long fine strip of wood against formers, all kinds of techniques for lofting hulls, an exponential amount of information, he was a sage. I imagine he must have passed on by know, but he left a lasting impression in my life. When I started to teach myself Computer Aided Design, I was able to transfer the knowledge he shared with me into the digital realm, as the program I use, "Rhino 5.0", uses Control Points, which mimic very much how a long stick can work. Hull lofting become easy for me. So I will give them the Bronze rail pieces for a Fo'c'sle and Bronze cleats, and all of these very old pieces to Mystic, as they may have future use for them.
