Just made my first chain pump and having difficulty fitting it through the main mast partner hole. The book says the hole is 9” wide. I have opened the hole to 9” but this is the result. I am curious what you did. My instincts tell me to reduce the pump housing to fit the 9” hole. The second shot shows what happens when i pass it through a 10” hole. kevin

She is looking good. I decided to ignore the scuttle covers as no one would see them and if i wanted to build them i would just scribe the lines and highlite with pencil.

There is a second hand one on ebay for sale now. You might get it for the upset price.

The base is 6” long by 4 1/8” wide, so if it will fit on your xy table it should work . It uses theses bolts to hold onto the table. It can be drilled to position it on the table.

New stock of “ Juniper “ arrived for the outside framing. I had hoped that i would have gotten much more but the price was right so i am great full.

I knew that there had to be a good explanation. Ill have it easy to do the rest of the deck planking and then to start the outside planking. Right now i need some easy stuff.

Just curious if you catered for the slight increase on the outer edge of the waterway which touches the frames. I am struggling to do this on the waterway for the upper deck where the plank starts at 4” then reduces after the spirketting to three inches

Workshop Vacuum cleaners
Kevin Kenny replied to DaveBaxt's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
If someone ever make a quiet vacuum cleaner ill be the first to use it. Both my inside and outside shop use the small Veritas system of gates. I am afraid i use ear muff when ever i am using the system. Its a real pain in the ***. I also use a cheap remote control switch to turn the system on and off. This does work great.

Today was a great day for the model shop. Our kitchen sink faucet fell apart and i was able to rebuild it on the lath. For the first time one of my model making tools provided a solution to our household and Ms Kenny was very happy. Not to often these opportunities come around. Its also the first time the lath took pride of place on the new work bench. It seems very happy there.
