Hi Mark. The cross section is also on page 27 of the AOTS Bellona, right below the one of the Ajax. If you look closely you can see the drop pawls on the lower capstain. Gary -
Good job Remco. Now I know were I can get at least one pot from. Gary
-
Thanks Mark. Thats what am trying to figure out is the drop pawl's and if maybe they would of fitted Alfred with them in 1780. As I posted earlier, they were being tested in 1770/71 but not much is said till 1787 or so time frame. Guess I could always say that maybe Alfred got them a little earlier. Hum guess I may just have to sleep on that one. Mark you said the Ajax? Can you tell me were you found the name to go with that midsection? Have been looking for it's name, but have come up short. I do know that Alex said it was from around 1790/ 1800 time frame. Gary

Thanks every one it was a real joy to build. At the moment am working on the cooking equipment, that is as soon as I get enough research on them
-
Nice Going Remco. I knew you could do it sir and nice looking brick fire heath by the way. As far as different kitchen utensils, I seem to be in the market for some my self. If you find out the sizes of the different items let me know, would you please. Good job. Gary

Thanks Antony and Alex. Gary

Thanks Wayne. Will take a good look at it sir. Gary

Thanks Michael, Pat and Alex. Well good sirs other then pot's and pan's the stove it complete, accept for the stack. I finally added the pully's and chain, for the pit, which was just a little touche. Most of the new parts are made out of metal accept for the pulley's which are wood. Couldn't find any brass round stock big enough. Well back to the pump's. Gary

Hi Michael. I have been going through your log for the last couple of days sir and must say that your metal and wood working are outstanding and top notch. It does seem that you have a very good relationship not only with wood but with metal which am still working my way through it. Will be keeping a eye on you log sir and have already learned a thing of two that should come in handy for Alfred. Have enjoyed your log very very much, and look forward to more updates. Gary

Hi Mark and thank you sir. I had some metal priming paint that I sprayed it with and then sprinkled it with baby powder, not to much and most was blown off before the final coat of flat black was put on. I do believe that David in vol 2, TFFM, talked about putting some on the mould before he poured the metal for cannon's, to give them a cast look, so figure why not. I did do a little dry brushing with a couple of different paint colors on top of that to help high light certain area's. My wife thinks its a cute little stove, which is okay with me, being that she is my biggest critic. Thanks druxey. Gary
-
Thanks every one and those folks for there likes. I have got the stove further along and do think I have come close to the cast iron look, at least as close as my skill will let me. Well back to work on her gun deck guys. Here is some updated photo's guys, and Mr Jones finally got a paint job along with the stove. Some were he seem to have picked up a slop bucket. Now I wonder where he got that from. Thanks again guy's. Gary

Thanks Ed and druxey. It has come a long way from just a picture in a book and thanks to you guys for the gentle push to do even better. Of course build's like yours help to set the bar. As far as the scale pig, I just may go to the railroaders to find one and maybe a chicken and cow. Gary

Well guys, I got to finally do some cooking and if any one has a pig, bring it on over and we can have a roast. Only kidding but finally have Alfred stove just about finished. Been working on it for a couple of days and has been a lot of fun. Its built of copper and brass, and a few pieces of plastic and wood thrown in to the mix. Still have to put the bar around it and finish the stack. A couple of the items, probably will get replace, such as the pot holder's and in the mean time will have to make some pot's and pans. Don't be to hard guys and still need a lot of work on it. Also have to figure out how am going to get that cast iron look so if any of you have any ideal's on how to do this, let me know, would you please. Just to let you know there was a few items that came from Chuck's photo etch set which came in real handy, so thank you Chuck. Enjoy the photo's guy's. Gary

Hi Greg. Nice build sir very nice. You really do have a nice style of building that's for sure. Any way could you please PM me. I have been trying to PM you but not having much luck. Thank you sir and keep up the good work. Gary
-
Hi Michael. Thank you sir. As far as the term rhodings it appeares in Steel, Naval Architecture and in David's book Vol 2 page 95, TFFM. As far as were the term comes from, your guess is as good as mine sir. Gary
-
Hi Johann and thank you sir. I feel the same way about following your build. Your metal work as inspired me to do better with my own. Right now am working on the cast iron brodie stove and looking at what I have done at the moment doesn't look to bad. Hopfully I will have a update on it in a couple of days. Gary

Hi Alan and thank you very much. Gary

Hi Mark. Confusing isn't it. To make this simple for my self, when I made the template for the mid ship beam, all of my beams were cut to the same length as the mid ship beam in length, and all beams were given this round up using a template of the mid ship beam. This way, as the beams were fitted going aft or fwd the round up didn't change but length did bringing the round up under control. I know that when I got to my last beam, being short in length, when I looked at it doesn't seem that there is a lot of round up, but it was right. Mark you may of already thought about this but the sheer of the deck also comes in to play with the round up of the beams as they go forward or aft. Hopefully this makes sense. Gary
-
Hi Rusty. I do believe they are done as shown in you plan. The NMM plan of Grandado show's them that way. Nice build sir. Gary
-
You know druxey, have to agree with you a 100%. If any one can do a outstanding job on making one it would be Remco and it would be one of a kind that's for sure. Looking forward to it. Gary

Hi Remco. Sorry about that sir, seems that I stopped after I read about when the Brodie came in to the English Navy. There I went again and not looking in these other books. for infomation. For the last couple of days I have been researching Alfreds stove and how to make all the parts and pieces that go in to making one. Figure that I need some practice on my metal work, so why not make a Brodie stove for Alfred. Have been looking in HMS Victory by Bugler on help with this and after you mention Lavery's book, I find all kinds of Dimensions for the stove, so I have to thank you for pointing this out to me. Do look forward to seeing more on your build, but first I have to go get some more popcorn. Gary

Hi Mark. Have to agree with Greg sir, a good ideal for future use, much like Remco washer. Both good ideals for sure. I do have to admit druxey red and black color's brings her to life, and a good looking ship on top of that. Gary.

Hi Remco. I may have a answer for you. According to David Lyon's book The Sailing Navy List, Kingfisher was built in 1770 which and was burnt in 1778. My reason for bringing up the 1778 date is the English Navy didn't start using the Brodie stove untill 1781, when the enter into a contract to buy them. She probably had the fire heath of the old type. From looking in Goodwin's book, The Sailing Man of War, there is a fire hearth of 1770, on page 161. From looking at it, one would not need to get all the way around it. Hope this is of some help sir. Ron I do believe that the u shape is were the fire heath it self set sir, and the one grate aft of the Chimney was a steam grate as you said, I do believe. The big pot of the fire hearth probably sat right below it. Gary
