How did you flair the outside ends of the scupper port pipes. kevin -
All done so back to making the rest of the trunnels. I hope i can find a case design that allows broken glass to be easily changed.

At the same time i am carrying out a clean up to the Emma Berry and replacing a piece of broke glass in the case. This was an early case i made and it a miracle i got it out with out damaging the rest of the case.

Still have the goal to move the split bamboo pieces in the bottle to .020 trunnels in the glass on the right

Ready for the next side. All these treenails were put through the draw plate twice. Now i just need the new drill bitts to arrive from Miami. 022 is just to small a tolerance. We are getting 027 drill bitts.

I suppose i should have connected the two words so as not to upset anyone. So here goes, workshop. Pheew, now that i got out of that jam, last piece of the external planking has been complete. So today i will clean up and cut off the timberheads and clean up the top timbers.

Has anyone ever come across this ropewalk? I purchased it 20 years ago and never used it and am now trying to get it up and running but have no instructions. Lots of the parts have rotted out and need to be changed.

The result of this journey was my fully documenting the process in a paper and continues to evolve as more data gets discovered. I am now on the journey of looking for the plans of her sister ship the St Patrick. I came across a model that was in the science Museum in london and is now in Prison in a warehouse. This model could not have been built without access to the original ship plans. So far i have been unable to find the plans but the journey continues. I am in touch with the curator of the science museum but she has not been able to find the plans. The journey continues.

this came up in my memories today. Its an excellent history of the research that went into the building of this scratch built model of the steam ship Naparima.
