smatsik got a reaction from edmay in Steel's Naval Architecture
Just a head's up for people like me that have been looking for it for some time. Google Books now has a copy of Steel's Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture available. I don't have a link as I stumbled on it during lunch at work the other day. However, I found it easily with an advanced search. It does not have the plates of ship plans but seems to be otherwise complete. In particular it has the tables of scantlings and body data for all the various sizes of ships.

Very nice find! Here is the link (note it is the 1812 edition)

smatsik got a reaction from Matrim in HBMS Amphion 1798 by Matrim - 32 Gun 18pdr Frigate
Wayne,
You are probably right on that. I always thought the taper was a little extreme too, but was caught in the 1/8 inch on each side thinking. I will probably go with your interpretation from now.

Wayne,
In the 1825 Second Edition I got from Google it is page 9, Section 3. Did you get the 1852 version from Google. I will have to see if I can get it and check for what is different. Sounds like there are a lot of changes.

Just catching up on this. I am very impressed with your work and have got a lot of ideas for when I work from old plans.
One thought on the taper you can use as a check. Fincham lists keel taper as 1/8 inch per foot on each side in his book from 1825. That is a taper of 1 inch overall every 4 feet so that should give an idea of where the taper should start. At the least it can serve as a sanity check.

Here's a handy chart for wire sizes of copper wire, used to make rings and eye bolts or anything made from copper wire.

smatsik got a reaction from mtaylor in Microlux Tilt Arbor Saw Problems
Harvey,
How big are the teeth on that blade? I looked up the saw and if I got the right one it is a 3 1/4" diameter blade. At 230 teeth that looks like the teeth are almost the same depth as the blade thickness. I doubt that gives enough to clear the sawdust unless you are feeding very slow. Your blade deformation may be due to forces when the sawdust starts to bind the blade at its rim. I doubt you could cut anything over about 1/16" in a single pass with that blade.

smatsik got a reaction from Walter Biles in HOW DO CHAIN PUMPS LIFT AND DISCHARGE THE WATER?
Walt,
Your ton a minute figure corresponds to on the order of 250 gpm. I did not do the figure exact so I could easily be off 50 gpm, but that gives you an idea of the rough value.
