Keith, if such people are interested in my work, I am always open to discussing details . But, I repeat, I am completely unfamiliar with this type of book and even more so I do not know how they are published and what is needed for this. I can only photograph the work process and even then not always. -
All parts of the anchor and mooring device are installed in their places.
-
Andy and Keith , thanks for your trust, but I can't write books at all. I can only build models.
-
Now it needs to be installed on the forecastle.
-
My work on the complete assembly of the windlass is finished.
-
Thanks, Andy! I use only available technologies. This interesting video shows the entire set of machines that I use when working with brass.
-
Thank you all for your feedback and likes! I hope that the continuation will be no less interesting for all of you. The thing is that, in turn, I will not be able to make the same windlass out of plastic. I am used to metal. And if you redirect your efforts from plastic to metal, then, in the end, you will undoubtedly succeed.

There are recesses there, but until I decided on the size of the chain, I did not make them too deep. Later, when I have a ready chain, I will make a slot to the required depth.

This is wonderful, Keith! I continue to enjoy the cleanliness and quality of your work! 👌
-
The preliminary assembly stage of the windlass is complete. Ahead of me is the necessary color treatment of the parts and their final assembly.

Details of the manual drive mechanism, chain and brake drums with brake drive handles.
-
Details of chain drum drives, mechanisms for connecting and disconnecting drive gears and a drum.
-
Steam drive mechanism parts and installation at the location.

I am glad to welcome everyone! I continue my work on the model of the cargo steamer. I made a little more than 60 parts for the windlass and now I show in the photo their test assembly together. Windlass foundation.

Phil, if you haven't made a final decision on the planking option for your ship, I suggest you consider my option. I recently used it instead of diagonal planking as an experiment, and was pleasantly surprised by the result. - plywood thickness for frames - 6 mm - ash veneer thickness for side planking sheets - 1 mm Ash veneer fibers must be placed along the length of the hull, and then it will tightly fit the frame contour without internal stress. The strength of ash allows for a minimum veneer thickness of 0.8-1 mm. The hull will then be covered with a layer of fiberglass and resin. This method is not suitable for a floating model, as the hull will be heavy, but it is quite applicable for a static model.

Perhaps this photo will be of some use to you.

Melissa, your hands create miracles! It is possible that the pipe in your photo is the ventilation of the interior spaces, raised above the deck level to prevent it from being flooded with water.
-
You are absolutely right, Phil! The style of model building I use (which dates back to the early 20th century) allows me to depict any nondescript boat as a pleasure yacht.
-
Phil, your stories are no less interesting than building a model! I will watch your work with interest. Will your model float on water?

The general appearance of the model so far looks like this.

Now let's look at the spar deck from the forward corners.

Thank you all for your kind words and comments and likes! I continue to work on the details of the steamship model. The photo shows the process of installing the guard rails on the spar deck.
