Mark, I know diddly about ironclads but from the below it seems that a steam powered metal pump could have been in operation in 1860? Interesting history on pumps. https://www.pumpsandsystems.com/history-pumps-through-years 1848 In Seneca Falls, N.Y., Seabury S. Gould purchases the interests of Edward Mynderse and H.C. Silsby in Downs, Mynderse & Co., forming Downs & Co., later known as Goulds Manufacturing Company. 1849 Goulds casts and assembles the world's first all-metal pump. -
Kurt, sorry, I thought the slurry of ash and water was 'pumped' overboard via steam pressure, i.e. pump/pumped. I agree about clinker size but being jagged edged I can foresee clinkers lodging together to form a jam. Yeah, it's been awhile since dad heated our house with coal. Another time, another world.

An ash well mixing ash with water to pump overboard was ingenious but how did it managed to pump clinkers overboard as well? Seems like the two would have to have separated which begs the question, how were the clinkers removed?

I just went to the Midwest WS and they are "temporally out of stock" on everything. Doesn't look good. Nothing on their FB page This pretty penny...that's wack! https://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mid/mid5240.htm

Siggi, I turn 75 next week. I KNOW it's not going to get better, at this point NOTHING gets better!

Beautiful progress, Siggi. Did you get a new worker? I don't remember seeing the lad with the striped leggings before but maybe that's my bad memory.

Gary, fantastic tutorial, beautiful work. I hope Midwest is able to continue to be the great supplier they were when I first ordered from them some five years ago.

I put a dab of CA gel on the end of the eyebolt shaft and insert and then wipe away any gel excess with a Q-Tip. After thirty seconds I put a dab of normal CA where the eyebolt and wood meet, wait a couple of seconds and wipe away any excess with a Q-Tip.

Brian, do you have a build log or will you be starting one?
-
Lynn, very good. Are you using the sanding sticks and how do you like them?

Brian, thank you for posting this photo of the Cairo . You've made the original slab sided turtle look beautiful.

Allan, even if the binnacle was open to the helmsmen he would have been hard pressed to be able read the compass. Reading from the forward side by the OD or watch would have been unobstructed and corrections if any could been easily relayed.
