    Hi Popeye & all interested too I will not need all the frames in the mid section, it`s just straight. At the stern will be more frames, every second from the plan will be placed there. The space between frames 2 to 5 is really close, so I will replace frames 3 to 1 with a full piece of wood and grind that to shape. The last frames are done, today I can start with re-examine them all, and then fit the whole things together. More will come later today................ Thank you all for your visite and likes! Regards Gerhard

    Hey Joe............ Indeed, and there will be a lot more of them in different looks. When it comes to the rear end there will be the waterway, the narrowing to the stern and the location for the wheel, all that things need different shapes of the frames inside and outside silhouette. Hi Elijah Thank you! Patience is what is most needed for such a big project. Somtimes the frames makning can be really boring, but there is no way to avoid that. Today I made some more of the frames, but no pics from them. It would only be just the same as the last photos. More interesting things will come, when I go to the building board, to set all that things to the keels, this will be a nerve wrecking stage for me........... Thank you all for your visite and that many likes! Regards Gerhard

    Hi Nenad I`m dreaming, breathing, eating, living frames, I AM FRAMES ! There are a lot more still to make, but the first 31 are done. Hi again to all my visitors, and thank you for your nice likes! Today I made the next frames, including the first frames for the boilers. They are a little different to the "normal" frames, and need more work and pieces per part. Boiler frame in the jig all 31 frames set to the keels for a test Regards Gerhard

    Hi again, and thank you all for your nice likes! The last days wrer filled with more frame making, the front frames from No. 110 to 85 are done, and the keels are prepared to that point. I will need even more time for the next frames, a lot of them is still to build.......... Frames 110 to 85 The keels with cut out frameseats Cut first the central keel Then the side keels Ready done. The cutouts are 1/10th of a mm wider than the frames are. This will allow me to mount the frames easy to the keels. Regards, thank you for watching and your comments and mybe critics! Gerhard

    Hi Glenn High precision work at that pipes and valve! I just discovered some differencies to the CAIRO Boilers, she had the steam drum at the rear end, and there were 5 tubes instead of 4 at the HEROINE. Absolutley prfect done! Regards Gerhard

    Hi again, and many thanks for your likes again! Even today I made some more frames, 15 pieces are done at the moment, and a first test how they sit at the keels is also done. The keels have cut out seats for the frames, see the pics.......... Regards Gerhard

    Hi John Thank you! Will be a long way to go............ Hi Popeye I saw a similar jig in the building steps report from Bob Hill, but he used a closed jig, I wanted to excluse any mismatch of both sides, so i decided to make an open jig, and turn the frames after glueing one side. That way all the angles are equal. Hi Mark YES! There are a lot of frames to make, freehand work would not be good enough for that Hi everyone! Thank you all for your nice likes and comments again! Today I made the next frames, No. 110 to 101 are done now, framework still continues. This will be a never ending story Best regards Gerhard

    A Restart? NO, just a continuation............. After a nice weekend I could go on again with the Cairo. I made the first set of frames, but had a smaller mistake with them. I tried to glue them free handed, but they had too large differencies i their height so I had to dismantle them. For the next try I made a glueing form, now the frames are all at the same height. Thank you all for your nice likes and for watching!! Regards Gerhard

    Hi Denis Deck looks pretty good, and the houses too! Fine Job Done............ Regards Gerhard
  25. Gerhardvienna
    Again we go on......... Homeworks took a bit more time than I thought, but there is always a way to do something at the Cairo build. I finished the paint job on the windows and grills, and could also build the keels. The pinewood is very good for working with, not too hard for cutting, but hard enough for the keels and frames. Skylight parts ready painted The center keel All 3 keels on the plan, everything fits well Regards Gerhard, and thank you all for your kind likes & watching!
