Hi again & Thank you all for watching
 
Next to do was the chimney. I used 6 x 4 mm brass tube, a bit of brass wire and 0,1mm brass sheet for the oart of the cookhouse. First to do was tö make a rest for the chimney at the stove, this was produced with a short piece of 4 mm round wood. Then I drilled a 6 mm hole into the roof, the wooden piece was glued to the stove with that "Ramsauer" sealing glue to the stove.



 
As next I soldered abrass ring to the top of the tube, SORRY, no photo taken from that step! After soldering the end ring I formed the cap from 0,1 mm brass sheet. I layed baking paper between the cap and the tube, so the cap kept moveable.

 
For soldering I gave a large amount of flux to the cap, and soldered the cap with even a large amount of soldering wire. The photo shows the work after a first soldering.


 
As last step on the top of the chimney I soldered another brass ring to the tube, here was also baking paper in use.


 
Next thing to do was the sealing cone to the roof. I marked a ca. 16mm circle to the 0,1 mm brass sheet, marke a sector as a cutout, drilled a center hole, and soldered it to a cone.




 
Then the cone was stuck on the tube and soldered, while the chimney was set to the roof and stove. Mark the large amount of solder flux and the ring of soldering wire aruond the tube. Evev here was baking paper used, this time to keep the roof clean.

 
The soldered cone and the finished chimney.


 
There is still more to come......................

A little progress was made at the pump, the hardest part is still to come. I want to have the ability to have a "working" pump, driven by a small motor, so I cannot solder all parts. 
 
Pistons with basic rods

 
"A-Beam" before soldering. It is enough to hold the parts with pins, no extra form needed.

 
Both Beams soldered, they wil carry the pump lever, and one side wall also fixed.

 
Thank you all for watching,

The first steps to the decks pump are made, the center of the handles, the pistons, and the cylinders with their case are cut from different brass material.

By all means, can't wait to see more .  .  .

Hi Antony
 
Great progress with every new step. This is a very strange construction, compared to the usual ships we know.

That trick is so often needed, even when I`m making the pump. For all "working" soldered parts you need something to avoid contact between fixed and moving pieces. Baking paper is good for that, it is really thin, but strong enough not to be soldered trough. But; there is one more trick on that: NEVER drill holes for the axels, just stick them through the paper. Every drilled hole wil be too large, and the solder will come to the places you dont want it to be.

Hi Mark
 
The new version of the rudder looks a lot better than the first one. Well done!

Hi Nenad
 
So tiny things, I like it. Thats what makes a model , never give up when something cracks.

After the davits are mostly done, I was searching for new things to do, before I can start with the ships hull. Remember, I cannot build large things at the time, until my home renova<tion is completed
 
So I decided, to build as a next part the pump, which had been on deck, as I have read the diary from Eduard Arendt correct. See the last part of this page, sorry, it`s only in german language.

 
I choose the pump in the red marked sector, the drawing is (as mostly) taken from the Atlas du Genie Maritime!

 
I`ll be back..............
with more abut that soon!

Gerhard
 

Hello and first of all, many thanks again for your likes, and watching in
 
The last days were filled up with a lot of work for my home renovation, but I also found time to complete the new davits. I had to solder the last levers in the form, then some smaller parts were mounted, the levers mounted to sets, and some eyelets soldered to both sides of  the davits.
 
Small parts to be soldered to the levers, use baking paper to solder. This will keep the rollers running.


 
Mounted rollers and eyelets

 
4 Sets (two pairs) of davits

 
Eyelest for both ends of davits, here will blocks be hang in.

 
Use baking paper here, for the same reason as above.

 
Completed end of one lever, with all small parts set into place

 
Best regards

Hi again, and thank you all for your  likes !!
Today was not so much time for the ship, so I made only the first of the straight levers, and the soldering form of course. The method is the same as before, and I could manage to set the first set of levers together for a first fitting test. Everything looks fine, when all levers are done I can make some changes at the soldering forms to complete the whole sets.
 



 
Best regards
Gerhard
 
 

Hi Glenn
Will take some time, til it comes to the engines. But I`m curios too, how they work in the ship, the revs are calulated to a max of around 60per minute, so the engines can drive the wheels at original speed. Before I build this engines, I will try to build a smaller one of the same system, which I constructed myself, but only about 50mm high and 70 mm wide.
 
 
 
Hi druxey
 
DANKE!!!  (Thank you!!!)
I`m always trying to do my best, when something goes wrong, I search for the mistakes, and build a new one. But that was not necessary with this levers, took just a lot of time. Including all the drawings and preparation time I spent about 2 weeks with that.
 
Hi to all interested
Today I could finish with the first set of levers, all 4 are soldered, a little grinding work is still to do.

 
Next will be the set of 4 straight levers, and combine them all to working parts.
 
Regards, & thank you for watching
