When dealing with unexplainable phenomena I turn to Professor Maximus.

Nils, I came across this eBay listing I found interesting. The plate attachment is nicely done but sadly the hull shape is a bit whack. I've included the listing where all the photos can be viewed. They're pretty crummy and it's almost impossible to see the inside of the hull. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145312092622?hash=item21d54691ce:g:k-QAAOSwH4ZlCid7&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8L8iKR6lE2Uf59SNQgTXtLrvv5KV8QrnXgchXEtJoOe%2FI4o9cVa6cv1vDgPi0PPJ6ERWXpo%2BVRnvdTwbtm41Y8P5fTryRrY1rbMptsS7dnvVhJ9QMWCsDy5O2mJgwNNiHUkTtlhUgEmqfPBKvRKykAd0R%2BLpozgKLYjUX5UKvMmhMSltddaq%2Fx24JzDMEH60dzLd9AL0HON69aSdKY9ALaSnSdipQUGPZm39fv9%2FlrjoX7lmTSHbrjkNDOPk%2FKPknmY0MW18821sEtrCa3%2B03NO76KFgHYkEoK6ViRwQS5m5Jne1W%2FdKAW2adSe0ugNE7Q%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBM5sL5yoFj

Very unique and very well done. It was a pleasure following along.

The playroom is gonna get crowded.

Yeah, some of that time probably stems from that "I delude myself that I am still a bit of a catch"

Wishing you the very best, Keith.

Ross, MSW is far from perfect but of all the sites out there, IMHO, MSW is the best. I was recently disappointed by actions taken by the MSW leadership and considered stepping away but after a week of sleeping on it, I'm not leaving. MSW is my home, warts and all. We're not going to see eye to eye with all our fellow MSW members. Three or four years ago a situation arose where another member and myself, for whatever reason, we rubbed each other the wrong way. I stewed about it for a week and finally hit the ignore button to that member's post. It's made my MSW experience so much less stressful. Step away for a week or two, if you miss being part of the MSW community come back dedicated to participating in that part of MSW which makes you the happiest. Wishing you the best.........Keith

Keith, did you build your workshop? I watch numerous BBC shows and the lets are a trip in both condition and construction. I like the ship's wheel, a lot.

Luc, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Tom, I think making a nice ship's wheel is one of the hardest task. I'm pulling for you.

Siggi, your eyes are better than mine. I don't see a difference in frame widths or your tick marks. They're splendid I'd say.

FYI, once the navies introduced steam propulsion in the 1850's not only where there preventer chains there were also emergency steering chains going through the hull leading to a capstan where rudder control could be maintained while the ships wheel steering mechanism was repaired. From what I can see in photos of the period the preventer chain and the emergency steering chain were different sizes.

Simon, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

It indeed turned out well, Brian.

Steve, in all the photos I have of the Tennessee's deck the decking appears to be straight.

That one is very difficult to see, I can just make out it's top if that's the clock you mean. Once upon a time you could find some pretty good deals on clocks on eBay and Craigslist, not anymore. People want big bucks for junk. I'd still like to acquire a nice drum clock, like my life is incomplete without one.

TJM, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

One is sideways on the third shelf down, the other is facing outward this side of the corner, both clocks are at the same height. I have four winders, one is DOA. I wind em up on Wednesday and Sunday. I have several old battery clocks and one old Nestle 'A Time for Baking' electric clock. I love to hear the winders sing out on the hour slightly out of time. My world is thrown into a tizzy if one of the clocks grows still and needs attention. There's something calming about listening to the orderly march of time.
